Master patience or watch your golf game fall apart

Anybody who has ever picked up a club and tried to make a swipe at a golf ball has quickly realised the importance of patience in the game of golf. Whilst recognising this — you're able to monitor your feelings and understand the natural results of failing to keep calm after hitting a terrible shot. All golfers learn quickly that patience is essential if you wish to play golf reasonably well. You cannot rush patience on the golf course, rather like bringing up a baby who's totally helpless and dependent on you, patience is learnt and is a vital requisite.

- Brett Brasier

If a golfer is lacking patience, then this will lead to anger, which inevitably leads to bogeys and a smorgasbord of useless shots and missed putts. Anger comes from unwelcome events such as playing pathetic golf or situations that will increase blood flow whilst it begins to boil.
