Golf courses in psychology from the Open Championship at Turnberry - Part 1

What lessons golf psychology can we learn from the Open Championship at Turnberry this year? I'm sure many of you watch the days held throughout shared my enthusiasm dash evolving shooting phenomenal players and all the amazing and emotional to finish the 72 holes. Let us not spoil things by thinking about the play-off!
We also saw what makes golf in general and links golf in particular so special. I'm talking about the fundamental unfairness of the game - the rub "of the green." For example, take Tom Watson hit a perfect 8-iron into the 72nd hole that could trickle from the back of green and nestled on the edge of the rough. Compare that to really ropey Stewart Cink fired a bullet into the same hole against all odds, managed to stop at the right place and gave him a fantastic opportunity to hole the putt on Winning target.
This brings golf is all about and one of the reasons that Tom Watson is always such a good approximation player he accepts both unhappy and happy at the same "Happy Go Lucky" attitude. Just listen to what he said later on that shot into the hole 72e.
"You look back in perspective of the tour and how they were going, I hit 8-iron to 18 still live with me," said Watson. "I had the sudden I wanted to hit, I really. And I asked my friend, Andy North, exactly where the ball landed on the green. He said that it landed on one foot on the surface, press one foot on the surface. It was therefore the length of the green to stop. That's what I was trying to hit. I tried to hit 164 meters out there. C ' is just not stop. "
More significantly, he took his finishing
"I look at this shot, I hit him perfectly, and I am not breaking."
So for Tom, no complaints, no blame, just accepting the hand dealt to him by the gods of golf. This is why it is so well connected player and why, despite his poor record at the close victories, he is such a great player.
Offs contrast his record of 2 wins part 11 against his Open Championship 5 wins, 3 other majors and 31 other PGA Tour, Champions Tour 12, 5 years as world number one 1978-1982 and nearly won the Open Championship Only a few months before his 60th birthday less than a year after hip replacement. That tells me he can overcome adversity and easy to get a bad result.
So next time you on the course and the rub "green" against you or you just hit a bad shot, think of Tom Watson and simply accept it, send to the past where it can not hurt you and go into playing the next shot the best of your abilities.
