Whether it’s after a bad shot or a bad round, sometimes (in the words of Ted Lasso), it’s best to “be a Goldfish” and have a 10 second memory. But this is easier said than done and requires the use of some mental game techniques, which I’m going to share with you in this week’s lesson.

Good shots are easy to move on from (in fact you want to stay with them), but less desirable outcomes can leave us feeling frustrated, angry, and fearful of things getting worse. Letting those thoughts and emotions take hold of you can affect how well you play the next shot and the rest of the round.

Unfortunately, there’s no magic pill that you can take to “turn off” feelings (hitting a ball in the water will aways make you feel some sort of discomfort), but here are 5 things you can do to “be a Goldfish” and have those feelings dissipate quickly instead of them triggering negative thinking and doubt ahead of the next shot. This is what the Post Shot Routine for Golf is all about.

1. Expect to Hit Some Bad Shots

In your next round, you’re going to hit some bad shots. I always ask my players how many they expect to hit in a round. E.g. If it’s 8, allow yourself to hit that many. When you hit your first one or two, they’ll be easier to bounceback from in your post shot routine for golf.

2. Take a Positive from EVERY Shot during the Post Shot Routine for Golf

The human brain has a “negativity bias” that makes it hard not to ruminate on bad shots, bad rounds or think about what could go wrong. In fact, whenever I ask a player about a round, they’ll often start with the negatives.

The standard types of golf clubs typically found in a golfer's bag are as follows:

1. Driver: The largest club in the bag, primarily used for long-distance shots off the tee.

2. Fairway Woods: These clubs are designed for longer shots from the fairway or rough and are numbered (e.g., 3-wood, 5-wood) to indicate loft and distance.

3. Hybrids: Hybrid clubs are a cross between irons and fairway woods, offering forgiveness and versatility. They are commonly used for shots in the rough or when players need to replace long irons.

4. Irons: Irons are numbered from 3 to 9 and are used for a variety of shots depending on the distance and loft required. Lower-numbered irons (3-5) are used for longer shots, while higher-numbered irons (6-9) are used for shorter shots and approach shots to the green.
