Successful golf requires more than a good swing. One cannot overlook the importance of a physically sound body, properly fitted equipment, a solid short game, and the ability to adapt to unusual or special conditions. Yet, considering all of the above, one of the most critical factors in determining golf success is still left unmentioned. Successful golf required control of your mind and your emotions – successful golf requires psychological strength as golf is a mental game too.
