The best way to eliminate nerves is obviously to practise preferably with suitable golf training aids and have confidence in you ability.
However, if you are getting nervous or uptight then try then try the following:
• Take a series of short inhalations, about one per second, until your chest is filled.
• Hold for 5-10 seconds.
• Then exhale slowly for 10 seconds while thinking to yourself the word relax (or calm or easy).
• Notice your body becoming more and more relaxed, as all the tension leaves your body.
• Repeat this process at least 5 times, each time striving to deepen the state of relaxation you are experiencing.
And remember no matter how important it seems at the time, it’s just a game and should be enjoyed!
