    I am a school golfer with a 7 index and the course that I play is foreign to me, it is an ok public course and I have been practicing there frequently and getting used to everything about it, but I just cant seem to play good golf there. Usually I'll have one aspect of my game that will put me down in a tournament and my better scores are from practice rounds that dont really matter. In the tournaments for example I will be striking the ball well and hitting a-ton of GIRs but I will 3 putt every hole and start having to play some bad bogey golf. I have never played well in a tournament and I just dont know what to do and what I should be thinking going into tournaments. 

    Thanks,

    Mott

    One thing that I do when it comes to playing a tournament if it is a stroke play event is to play a match against the guys I am playing with. This can help alot if the players that are in your group are playing well. Another thing to try is not to keep track of your score in your head so you don't know where your are at, then you won't think about what has happened and focus on what is infront of you.

    One thing I do is play one shot at a time. If you're thinking about what you need to finish the hole out with or thinking about what you just did you're going to keep going down hill. So...one shot at a time.

    Mott, the big thing is to play enough competition golf to where you feel as comfortable during your round as you would in a practice round. One shot at a time is a great way to think about it and have fun, you always play better when you are having a good time.

    Play the course!!! 

     

    on the tee say to what what do i need to hit to get to the fairway. 

    if you miss a fairway dont panic just get it up around the green dont panic take your chances 

    on the fairway look at your options to get to the green. 

    if you miss a green do panic you dont play off 7 for nothing 

    just grind a score out thats what tournaments are all about 

     

    best of luck kid 

    hope this helps.
