Your Job

Problem

You cannot relax on the course.

Cure

Many players have difficulty relaxing on the course because they turn the game into a job. When you so work oriented you will make each step of the game into being a task as you do at work. Other players are still thinking about work and cannot visualize and focus on their game. You are on the course to relax. Once you turn the game into a job or cannot stop thinking about work, simply recall what you enjoy about the game. Then use this information to help you relax on the course. Another thing you can do is stop thinking about golf while you are at work. If you are daydreaming about golf while you are trying to complete a task at work, you will then begin to associate these two things with each other and never fully commit to either of them.

Therapy

Imagine that you quit your job and have no other responsibilities. All you have to do now is just enjoy your round. Take pleasure in all of the shots regardless of difficulty. Because the only thing you need to worry about is knocking the dirt off of your shoes at the end of the day and they have something for that outside the clubhouse.
