Hey guys, there's a tournament coming up Thursday, and I really feel like I can win. I've already met everyone going, and it's for our age group, and some higher, and some below. Most of the people going are around 10 years old, and there's only two people older than me, and they are very new to golf. The 10 year olds might have skill, but they don't have the distance to make low scores, so I feel like I have a good chance of winning. (I.E. Driver goes like 100 yards was the farthest I saw)

Is there any way I can keep a good mental game about it? I don't want to get over cocky or too confident and mess up badly. The prize I heard from the coach was actually going to be a used Taylormade Burner. I'd love to get that club in mah bag

And also, if you've had a tournament lately, how did you do?

Just go out and play your normal game. Once you start to think about it too much you can get yourself into a bad frame of mind. Just think of it as any other round and you will be fine.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
