You are facing the final three holes and you are ahead by 1 stroke, your knees are rattling.   Here are a few tips to calm yourself:   (A)   Take deep breaths.   Open your mouth, place your tongue on the roof of your mouth and inhale to a count of 4 – hold for 8 seconds and exhale through your nose to a count of 8.   (B)   Think pleasant thoughts.   It's only a game and nothing more so relax and enjoy what your doing.   (C)   Meditate.   Repeat the same phrase or word over and over to keep your mind occupied.
