Remember that EVERYONE you're playing against is going to be battling the same nerves you are at one point or another (some just fake it better than others). Whether or not you strike the ball better than everyone else, commit to being mentally stronger than everyone else. Acknowledge and accept that you're going to be nervous and, therefore, probably won't play mistake free golf. As was mentioned, play a little conservative to avoid mistakes and, when you make one, focus on minimizing the damage by making the next shot a good one rather than getting down on yourself about one that's in the past.
