1.Problems with a good player are almost always mental in nature. Thinking clearly really is the name of the game. And a clear head is impossible when fear reigns.
2.So if you change how you think, you change your game. Don't worry why the ball flew where it did. Just keep your mind focused on the next shot.
3.Psychologists tell us that we tend to become a composite of the five persons were around the most. Maybe you need to find some more relaxed folks to practice with if this is a continuing problem. If you're worried about what others think, chances are your game is really inconsistent. You're overly aggressive one second and overly conservative the next.
4.Playing with a perfectionist translates into ?no fun?. Why ruin the joy of the game for yourself? Find friends you can play the game with just for the pure enjoyment. Your game will likely improve as you're less tense and able to swing more freely. Top players refine their skills every year. They're always improving in little ways that add up. You're not always going to play your best game, and you'll never play a perfect one - no matter how skilled you are. Work to improve little faults and your game will gradually get better and better.
5. Don't dwell on mistakes. As Tiger Woods says, ? hit it and forget it.? You can't go back in time and replay a shot, so just forget about it and move on.
Obviously some of these thought are easier said than done. Make an effort to play your next game by think confidently and staying focused. Attitudes do make a difference.
Often treated a day trip away from Srinagar, Gulmarg, the huge grassy, cup shaped meadow ringed by fir trees and snowy peaks merits much more. Reportedly discovered by Kashmiri ruler Yusuf Shah Chak in the 15th century, Gulmarg has been a most favoured resort since the Raj. Its best feature is that from any one point, you can see the rest of the expanse with its softly undulating slopes, and breathe mountain-fresh air. No noise, no pollution, no population, save for a few villagers from neighbouring Tangmarg.
THINGS TO SEE AND DO Plenty, or nothing at all, depends on your point of view. There's a 7-km walk called the Inner Ring Road that you can wander along on foot if the ponywallahs leave you alone, of an 11-km walk called the Outer Ring Road which takes you through stands of pine.
Skiing If Gulmarg deserves its place in sun, it is because of skiing. Its gentle slopes are perfect for firs-timers; the more advanced have the option of slaloming down from the gondola car at Kongdor, a 3 ? -km run. There's a wealth of ski lifts to haul you to the top of a ski run, and for an instructor, and you're looking at just $15 per day.
Golf The golf course here, said to be the highest in the world, was the venue of a prestigious state championship until 1990. You can have a game of golf at he golf club here, using hired clubs. There are pros who can teach you, the weather's perfect, and in summer, playing hours are long.
Treks: Gulmarg's highest peak, the Affarwat to the west, used to be popular for a trek. High up in the massif lies a seldom-visited mountain lake, half frozen even in summer, called Alpathar. Almost 5,000 ft up steep slopes, you reach it on foot or by pony ($15), but Army permission is needed for anything deemed a trekking out of Gulmarg, so it's seldom visited. What does have a frenetic rush around it is the Cable Car from Gulmarg to Kongdor. It's $2 per person per one-way trip, so it's inevitable that pakora and tea stalls have cropped up. Most people go up for the view, as Kongdor, Seven Springs and khilanmarg overlook both Gulmarg and the Srinagar Valley. If you want to avoid the crowds, you could walk up to Khilanmarg (4km), the alpine meadow towering above the golf course. Hike through wooded fir forests along the pony track, from where you'll see Nanga Parbat.
