If you know how to play golf, and go out on the course with the mindset that you will win. This is confidence . . . confidence in your ability to do what you already know how to do.
On the other side of the coin, there is arrogance, which can get you in trouble. As with anything in life, once you get arrogant you will ultimately loose.
Confidence in your golf game can even intimidate other golfers; simply because they know that confidence along with the skills to back it up are winning combinations.
Confidence in your life game plan along with education have the same relationship.
Like any other skill, confidence can be learned, practiced, developed and built, and without it, you seldom win at anything in life. Having all the golf moves down, knowing how to putt like a pro, and understanding the greens won’t help if you don’t believe that you can win.
People seldom recognize that you can have a crisis in confidence just like in any other area of your life. Confidence does not come naturally nor will it stay with you if you don’t work on it.
As with anything else confidence becomes a habit after it is practiced often enough. Confidence is a set of thoughts, beliefs and ideas that we develop in any area of our lives.
With the confident golfer, they concentrate on success rather than failure. Their thoughts center around thoughts like “I can” and “I will” rather than “I can’t” or “I won’t”.
The confident golfer would think along the lines of “I will make the ball roll smoothly with the correct speed directly in line with the hole”. The confident and intelligent golfer thinks along the lines of execution not outcome.
Confident people don’t hope for success, they expect and plan for it, and when it happens they accept it as the predictable result of their long and demanding training and routine
