Confidence is when you know you can hit the shot because you have practiced and/or hit the shot so many times before.   Having confidence means that you know you can execute a successful golf shot.  

Optimism is a form of positive speculation, you may have never faced the situation (shot) before but you believe you can execute a successful shot.  

Remove all negative thoughts from your mind during every round.    Maintain confidence and optimism and a “can do” attitude to lower your scores.
