The power of positive thinking!

I am fortunate enough to be able to speak to a number of excellent instructors, and recently I spoke to Ted Sheftic a Golf Magazine top 100 instructor, and he had told me about this piece he had heard both Rory and Keegan saying at a press conference, and I felt it would be very valuable to those who want to play better, hope you enjoy. Keegan Bradley said something interesting in his press conference. He said he wanted to “under react” to anything that happened today. He opened with a double and then fought back. It was impressive. Hey, Brendan Steele and Keegan were both on the Nationwide Tour last year. Brendan was talking about how much he loved the Springfield event. I love reading the interviews from the post round press conferences. So many of the players talk about adjusting their attitudes, staying positive, trusting, etc. Listen to what Rory McIlroy said after a tough day today:
Q. Do you feel disappointed with what’s happened these three days or optimistic for a good round tomorrow?
RORY MCILROY: I’m disappointed that I have not been able to play my best, but I’m optimistic. I’ve got another chance to go out and play 18 holes tomorrow, and have another chance to go out and try and shoot a good score. I haven’t shot under par so far this week, so it will be — I think it will be a good effort to go out and do that tomorrow. (My underlining! I love this optimistic attitude. It’s what all of the great golfers have.)
