Those who have played golf objectively, can attest that the rules and the process of mastering the game of golf can be applied to almost anything in life, including trading, and expect success.

A great round of golf starts with preparation, logistics, organization, and assessment of the current conditions before a tee shot is played. A player with the acquired skills and having gone through all the prerequisites is confident and most certainly will hit a great tee shot with the ball ending close to his planned target.

For the next shots the conditions where the ball lies and the objectives are different now and must be individually managed with a set of different skills and preparation for playing a fairway shot, a bunker shot, or a chip shot through the green all the way until the ball is in the cup.

The rules of the game keep one honest to oneself and the lonely walk in the fairway is the time to evaluate the last shot, learn from it, and plan for the next. A confident golfer does not duel on the last hole, blame the sprinkler, the bird digging for a worm, or the wind blowing leaves in front of the ball and already knows how to deal with those situations. He knows his skills and limitations and will not try to cut the dogleg where there is a higher probability of trouble than success. The player will hit thousands of practice balls to improve and sharpen his skills before and after the game.

A player does not plan for or think about failure. The conditions that can cause failure, water hazards, out of bounds, winds, etc. have already been planned and compensated for in the shot. The history of the last hole whether successful or not has no bearing on the outcome of the next hole. What counts is the final score on number 18.

Of course mental capability is important and part of the total preparation for the game. Unless, the golfer has cheated on his wife, driven the car in a tree at mid-night, and now is a basket case and can't seem to recover despite having all the unmatched golfing skills, know hows, and help from top psycho professionals. That would be a case of needing medical psychology not one in the need of golf psychology.

Know your stuff, be confident, and play good golf.

Have a nice round!
