How to Relax when you are Hitting 3 off the 1st tee.

Every great player has a “can do attitude”, Tiger Woods is a great example. He tries as hard to make a bogey putt as he does an eagle attempt. To play well, you must have a mental toughness no matter what the situation.
Anger, resulting from a feeling that you “deserve” to make a good shot, can be a major roadblock. Any bad shot is history, so put it out of your mind as soon as possible and don't dwell on it. Think of how to execute your next shot to the best of your ability. Utilize bad shots simply as good learning experiences.
