⛳ Control what you can. The golf ball is not one of them! 😂
I enjoy my golf, but I’m under no illusions about my ability!
I generally play early in the morning, walking and carrying my clubs for 3–4 hours.
I always have a decent breakfast, normally porridge and fruit, before I go out. I make sure I stay hydrated and take something to eat during the round.
I’ve usually waited until after the 10th hole before having my chosen snack, but I’ve decided to change that.
Going to try an energy bar, half around the 5th and the other half around the 10th.
Will it make me a better golfer? Probably not!
But that’s not really the point.
If I can keep my energy up and avoid getting tired towards the end of the round, that’s one less thing to worry about.
It’s much the same with training.
You can prepare properly, put the effort in and do everything right, but you can’t guarantee the outcome.
You can only give yourself the best chance.
And if I’m still playing rubbish golf on the 18th, at least I can’t blame my breakfast! 😂⛳
What’s one thing you do to give yourself the best chance, whether it’s in sport, training or everyday life?
