Typical stress situations that everyone knows - The blow over water!

Every golfer knows it: you have to hit a ball over what looks like an ocean. In reality, it's often only 50 metres, but if the ball hits the water, it's gone. You have to take a new ball, take a penalty stroke and hit it over the huge water again. The stress increases. It's one of the most stressful things on the course. But imagine if a course had no water hazards - that would be boring, wouldn't it?

What helps you now? You should know how far you can get with your different clubs in order to choose the right one. And then you have to trust that club! You need to think strategically: what does it look like on the other side of the pond?

It is also helpful to concentrate completely on the target. Preferably as precisely as possible. In the end, it all comes down to your routine. It puts you in a calm state and you concentrate on what is important - and not on whether the ball will cross the water. After all, it's just one ball and one shot - so stay relaxed!
