Lessons from the Open Golf Championship Psychology Turnberry - Part 2
In the first part, I talked about golf lessons from psychology astonishing Tom Watson performance both on and off the field in the Open Championship this year at Turnberry. Then what other kinds of golf psychology can learn from some of the other contenders?
Now I know that the brave and the challenge they expect a baby to Ross Fisher in average gross actually died at the 5th hole on Sunday. But it became a great success in a way that the world number one Tiger Woods, miserably failed to do two days before, despite a load as close the firm that got him into the weekend. Ross remained calm and Tiger lost his rag!
I think Ross Fisher is such a wonderful young golfer, so kind, considerate and British, so I was in seventh heaven when he left the green room on Sunday, leading the Open by two shots. It was even better that one of my all time Favorites Tom Watson was only two behind and Lee Westwood, another favorite of mine was in the mix and playing at the top of his game well. This was be a real treat. I was also aware that one of my old clubmate, Luke Donald, was the publication of a leading club in scoring with a final round 67.
After both Ross and Lee hit his fifth tee iron into the rough, I worried that they might fall a shot, but I never dreamed that Ross would be reduced four shots! Actually had nothing wrong with that hole, it was just the touch "the green you a traditional links course. He had a terrible lie in the thick grass, I had nowhere to fall and when he touched the ball ended up in a worse place. Finally went out playing six, hit a good shot and almost down a good putt.
Everything reminds me of rounds has been playing in the top amateur competitions from the championship tees at the Open Championship venues such as Royal Birkdale and Royal St. Georges where the rough could be almost unfairly penalized. What was different about Ross was that he just kept smiling, stuck to your routine and get along with it. Even smiled and removed his hat in his response to the applause of the crowd when he finally holed out in the fifth green. What's more, para the next hole and his last 10 holes. In other words, accept that these things happen on the golf course and just got back to his work as a professional golfer, achieving good shots and pleasing to the crowd. And just in case you forgot, was the impending birth of his first child to think so.
Given the composure Ross surprised me remember saying in an interview at the Masters this year, do not use a golf psychologist. He said he had one provided by the Union English courses in their amateur days. I wonder who he was, because he is certainly doing something good and long lasting unconscious mind working with young Ross!
At the risk of repeating myself, the next time you're out on the golf course and the gods or golf mind seems to be against you, remember how Ross Fisher handled in the Open. Accept what happened, consigned to the past, it can not hurt you and get on with playing the next shot the best of their ability.
I will be concluding this article in part three golf lessons with more open mind.
