the next stage i walk alone
i think there's something wrong with my sleeping habits. it could be the way my bedroom blocks out sunlight or i have some sleep disorder. just keep sleeping for long long hours. i need to follow a regular sleeping and waking up time from now on to try and see if my condition improves.
the next stage of improvement i need to figure out myself. i want to play in the 70s from now on. but it's hard when i feel no motivation to go and practice. it's a complicated situation that i don't really know how to explain yet. release my fear of making plans because i fear not following through with it.
at least one consoling point i got from bob rotella is about perfectionism. i want to be perfect so i get really upset when i don't play golf the way i know i can or don't hit as well as i want to. then the more i feel that i'm not perfect the more impatient i get and then there's this downward spiral that makes me less and less committed to the process of improvement.
i remember i had a panic attack before an exam because i was so scared i wouldn't do well and let everyone down. maybe i'm having recurring feelings. so many people believe in me to do well and think i can but i myself doubt the possibility of being the best and then the fear is worsened because i think i can't live up to their expectations.
so this next stage is something i have to figure out and figure out fast in order to get back on track. i can do it !
i don't give up !

the importance of my blog
i now realise how important this blog is to me in terms of staying motivated and reaching my goals. i like to talk alot but often it isn't easy to tell someone all that i'm going through, my discoveries, my worries and concerns. then i think things have started to stay bottled inside. something happened on that melbourne trip that made me lose confidence and motivation. i don't really know why and how i got into this lazy slump for the past 2 months. i've been updating less and less.
then now i discover that this blog has unknowingly become my closest friend to share my golfing experiences with. someone that i can talk to through my keyboard non-stop and will never tire. although it doesn't really understand i feel as though it is the one thing that knows all about this journey and how tough it has been.

female golfer tips: trust
i find myself often very impatient !
i look up very fast after i hit the ball to try and see if it is going in the right direction. but this bad habit is actually the cause for the inconsistency in the direction of my ball.
i'm starting to learn to trust that my swing will bring my ball to where i want it to go. then more often than not, it is actually travelling towards the pin rather than 10 meteres right of it.
so tip of the day is to trust in your swing. looking up too early in anticipation of the ball flying towards the target will only cause you to open (or maybe close) your clubface, causing the ball to be inaccurate.
also remember to do this will accelerating through impact to achieve the best outcome !
