If your balance is a little off in your game, you may want to do some simple exercises to improve it. Just kicking a ball around your backyard can help. You can also set up a little obstacle course and weave in and out of it to improve your balance. Your kids will have fun with course, too! In fact, they may even set up one for you!

You can also buy a balance board to help you with your center of gravity. We found a handmade, well-crafted balance board on eBay. These boards are challenging and fun to use!

In addition, working with flexibility exercises helps increase your balance by releasing muscle tension. Try some simple yoga stretches to help with loosening up tight muscles.

Another useful item is a yoga ball or exercise ball. Even just sitting on one of these balls requires balance - so try using one for part of day. Work up gradually until you can sit on ball for 30 minutes at a time. These ball exercises can help you develop proper posture, increase mobility of your lower back, and develop overall control of your body core.

Since balance is fundamental to every aspect of your golf game, spend some time each day working on developing it. Who knows? You could find your swing and your score improving dramatically!

If youre worried about what others think, chances are your game is really inconsistent. Youre overly aggressive one second and overly conservative next.

The key? Focus on target, not situation. Ignore stakes. Just concentrate on your game.

Perfectionism not only causes ulcers, but it ruins joy of game. Top players refine their skills every year. Theyre always improving in little ways that add up. Youre not always going to play your best game, and youll never play a perfect one - no matter how skilled you are. Work to improve little faults and your game will gradually get better and better.

Smiling widely relaxes your facial muscles, and serves you well in overcoming anxiety. Get into habit of smiling before hitting ball instead of furrowing your brow.

Dont dwell on mistakes. As Tiger Woods says, “I hit it and forget it.” You cant go back in time and replay a shot, so just forget about it and move on.

Dont worry about what others think of your shot making. Overcoming that fear alone will improve your game vastly! And when youre ready to play your next game think confidently and stay focused.

Youll soon become a master of fearless golf!
