When competing in matchplay or strokeplay, the question arises: Would you rather be in the lead with six holes to go, or would you rather be chasing the leader? The evidence often suggests it is easier to pursue as you have a fixed goal and a need to play well than trying to defend a lead.  Players have proven themselves to be fantastic in the chase while others are better in the lead. There is no correct answer to this. It has to be a personal preference. In this episode, Robin weighs up the pros and cons of both approaches.

With over 30 years of research and experience, Robin explores what he believes to be the number one mistake amongst amateur and recreational golfers. The curious thing is though it is a widespread mistake, it is probably the easiest fix. It, therefore, is overlooked not cause it's easy to fix but cause people don't realise it is a huge problem and is impacting their game much more negatively than they would have imagined.

Some of the decisions golfers make on the course at times would strain a jury to believe possible unless made under some unknown duress. The sheer stupidity, of the player's choice of shot, really beggars belief.  

This is almost the exclusive domain of the amateur or recreational golfer, which would be fine if it didn't appear to cause so much distress when the immediate abject failure of the shot become evident.

What can you do?.......

At a critical moment in a match, playing poorly or hitting a shot that is just silly can be very demoralising and upsetting. We frequently fail in competition or coming down the stretch when the pressure is at its greatest. There are multiple reasons why this may be the case, but the outcome is the same we failed. What to do? I think we have to get success and failure in context. Still, more importantly, when we experience loss, we need to interpret the experience and use it to our advantage, not as a stick to beat ourselves endlessly.

Is there anything good that comes out of getting mad, on the golf course, (or off the golf course for that matter)?  I am firmly of the opinion that getting angry and upset is natural enough but allowing it to control our thoughts and actions is most definitely - going to mess us up. 

We allways have a choice as to how we respond to upset - the secret is learning how to employ that choice to work for us and help us be our best.

What do tour professionals have in common with the average club golfer? Not very much to be honest, and one thing they have in abundance is 'belief'. They put in the practice and believe they have the ability to make the shots down the stretch when under pressure. You never hear them say after a bad shot "Oh I just KNEW I was going to do that".

We need to lay within our comfort zone with a positive outlook and belief, this episode looks at a couple of things you can do to help that happen.

We have all witnessed shots which are quite simply amazing, they take our breath away and almost cause us to rub our eyes in disbelief. More often than not they happen on television whilst watching a tournament (frequently a major).  It is a popular question that golfers ask each other, and I too have been asked at many times I always give the same answer much to the surprise of those who asked me.

If you ask the average golfer what they would like to achieve this year, chances are they will say they would like to play better golf, in fact, there is not a golfer alive who would not like to be better. So why are so few golfers becoming better? Many will invest in technology gimmicks, gadgets and the odd lesson but still, no change is there something we're missing and if there is what is it?
