The One Thing That Separates Great Players From the Rest of Us? Self Belief

To take a step forward in your golf game, train your mind and it'll work its way into your performance. Here's how to do it.

There is one incredible quality the best players possess that you can, too. It's not a technically better swing or the ability to hole more putts and smash longer drives. The one thing that separates you from the greatest golfers starts in your mind and works its way into your performance.

I'm talking about your belief.

The wonderful Arnold Palmer once said, “I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.”

Unshakeable belief is the one thing that separates the good players from the great ones. And belief is trained.

The greatest golfers in the game have disciplined their minds so they see themselves and their games from the right perspective.
