You can practice chipping all day long, but when you get on the course, it goes to hell. Why? Because for whatever reason, you don't trust yourself. It happens to a lot of people so don't get upset. You need to tell yourself before every shot that you have it in you. You just need to trust yourself.

Also, you only get one shot at it on the course, so be sure you plan it out, don't just go up and hit it. Most of all, stay relaxed. You know you can do it, so do it.

The way to stay positive is not to try to "not think negatively." If you tell yourself not to think negatively, well you've failed because that right there is thinking negatively. The way to be positive is to make the positive thoughts more appealing than the negative thoughts. This is why visualization is so important in golf and any sport. The more you see good things happening, the more likely you are to end up with that result. That will be one of the key points in my e-book.

Don't hit the shot until you are totally confident and ready.

You're welcome Matt. I just saved you 4 shots a round.
