The problem: You need to get up-and-down for par from off the green. It’s a situation that club golfers face every game. The pressure we put on ourselves to make par often adds extra importance to these shots, which can lead to tension, clouded thinking and ultimately poor execution that leaves us a long way from the hole and needing another chip or a long putt for par. The solution: Motor skills, like those in golf, require practice to allow an individual to execute the shot without conscious control.
Most of us could toss a golf ball to a friend without thinking about it. There’s no thinking about the angle of release or wind speed – we just see it and do it.
