Like life, winning at golf is a  mental challenge. 

You should never  be too down on yourself for a loss,  anymore than you should become arrogant  at a few successes. 

The game of golf will help  you learn to deal with  disappointment and shortcomings in other areas of  your life.

Don't ever allow yourself to stop  enjoying the time you spend with the game. If you begin to  find yourself losing your enthusiasm in this situation, take the  time to evaluate and determine out what has begun going wrong and  take action to correct it immediately. 

Once the  enjoyment of the game is lost for you, it  is difficult to continue play.

It is important in golf as well as  in life, to periodically step back and  re-evaluate your game. There are an abundance of techniques for this. Some will  record their game so that they can watch it in order to  evaluate the changes they need to make.

The point is by evaluating your game... I mean to  see how well what you are progressing and getting you to the goals that you  have set for yourself is a lifelong continual process of a quest for improvement.

It is important that you must set up well thought out  attainable goals and milestones along with a  specific means of reaching those goals... and a way to track and evaluate your progress.

In order to thoroughly evaluate your game, you will  need to review how you play. This  involves taking a good look at  your previous games and deciding  if you have succeeded in meeting  the goals you set.

If you have met that goal  compensate yourself for a job well  done, and review the next goal.

If you havent yet met that goal  you will need to evaluate it and  determine if it is reachable, and  if not, re-set it to a more  realistic place.

Determining the reason it was not  successful can and will go a long  way in evaluating and ultimately improving your game.

Once you have found the reason for  the inability to meet the goal you  have set, and re-established it,  you can once again begin to play  and hopefully compensate yourself  again as you reach one goal after  another.

If you are willing to combine hard  work with reachable goals with a  strong metal game, your will be a  winner at life as well as golf.
