Emotional control is the golfer's true handicap

During a round of golf be aware of your emotions during different stages of the 18 holes.

- Brett Brasier

Try to monitor your feelings and your attitude towards how you're playing and towards your playing partners. Try to practise self-awareness during your round, so that you don’t allow any emotions to cloud your judgment, that might initiate negative golfing thoughts. Recognise that a bad shot or hole will naturally trigger a sense of a feeling of loss, because you've added one or more shots to your score.
