Any experienced golfer will tell you that a short memory is the best trait you can have in this game. Try to concentrate on making every shot and every round better than the last, instead of just getting good. You must be able to learn while you are playing. Being objectively oriented will benefit you much better than being results oriented. Think about what you could have done better after each shot, what would have been a smarter play. Then accept the results and focus on the next shot.

When I was younger I read Harvey Penick's Little Red Book and I've yet to play a round without at least some of his words in my head. It's tranquilizing and puts the game into an admirable perspective of how simple it can be. Good luck. Keep us updated.
