Golf – Ladies Golf Fashion – What To Wear On The Fairways

Are you just beginning to get into the habit of playing golf? Do you see other lady golfers playing and wonder what you should wear when playing golf? Let’s face it! Golf is a fashionable sport. And every time you get on that fairway is another chance to show off by wearing the latest and trendiest in ladies golf fashion.

Whenever I have heard of any Tour player employ the services of a sports psychologist, that golfer is usually someone who is desperate to find the answers as to why they can’t win more golf tournaments. In my view, the answer to that question is simple: they are not mentally tough enough because they don’t have enough confidence in their own abilities.

Confidence in your abilities is the biggest key to being able to perform under pressure. However, confidence does not just appear in your game over night. Confidence only appears after a lot of hard work on your game, and from playing a lot of golf!

I just viewed a video of Lee Trevino. He said “….you won’t learn much from me…I never had a mental approach. I got my confidence from hard work.”

Trevino worked hard on his game, but that is not all. I’ve read stories of him before his days on the Tour showing up for a match with no money in his pocket and making lots of bets. You want to talk about pressure! Well, that is how you simulate the pressure of a golf tournament. You have to repeatedly put yourself in the position where something is on the line when you stand up to the tee on the 18th hole, or you are faced with that all important 6 foot putt. If you never do that with yourself, you will never learn how to deal with the pressure that just comes from playing in the 3rd flight in your club championship!

I find it very interesting that you find very few, if any, books written about the mental game by any top player. Sure, there are books that SPECULATE about how Tiger Woods’ developed his mental toughness, but he has never written about the topic himself. The same may be said about Jack Nicklaus who is arguably Tiger’s equal in terms of mental toughness.

On the other hand, there are huge numbers of books written about the golf swing, putting or short game. The fact is, none of these players worry about the mental game. Instead, they focus on executing their swing as best they can, not on some mental tip that suddenly transforms them into a totally relaxed player!

Hunter Mahan shocked critiques when he went to tours with this material. And amazingly, he proved his point. Compared to yesterday’s icons, today’s golfers swing to 300 yards at average.

Though body fit, Under Armour Golf is surprisingly breathable. It has incorporated a stretch moisture management and UPF protection when under the sun. And of course it’s wrinkle free.

A few weeks later in our club championship, I shot rounds of 74-68 to finish in a tie for first, and lost in a playoff. Now, I knew how to play a great round under pressure to have a chance at winning.

So, you see, gaining this confidence is not something that happens over night. You can learn all the mental tips you want, but if you have a flawed golf swing and no confidence in the ability of that swing to hold up under pressure, you simply won’t perform.

If you really want to improve your scores, improve your golf swing and work hard on your putting and short game. Also, play as often as possible, and play with a little something on the line! That is how you will learn to lower your scores!
