Golf rage isn’t limited to the golfer with a handicap. Almost anyone can see the red mist descending on the scene as you can see in this clip showing the best players in the world.

The game is designed to confuse and annoy in many ways.

We can preach about the benefits of not giving in to anger but these situations are very related.

How to control your golf rage?

For most players, the impact of a few bad shots on your entire round will be minimal in the grand scheme of things. While a double-bogey may hurt your scorecard, it’s not the end of the world and keeping that perspective in mind is a good place to start.

Laughing at yourself shows that you don’t take your game too seriously, which can make the overall experience more enjoyable for everyone.

After that unfortunate shank, it might be therapeutic to giggle to yourself and move on. This will also put your fellow players at ease, because no one enjoys the informal silence that follows a bad shot from a normally angry player.

For the benefit of your own game and the sanity of others, try it the next time you make a bad swing on the golf course.

A common mental error is to focus on your previous worst shot rather than your last best one.

If you have never been affected by someone else’s behavior on the golf course, it is most likely because you are the one making others uncomfortable.

We’ve all been in a gathering where someone’s anger has ruined the atmosphere, and it’s affected the situation. Stay calm and show respect to your teammates. They had come for a day of fun, not to play quietly out of fear.
