Everyone is different and techniques are different. When i have a bad hole i will tell myself "no harm done" " I can get this back". I will then call my shots for the next hole. Not out loud to others, but, i mumble to myself. I will call out the drive or tee shot I want to hit saying where it will start out and where it will land. I do this for each shot on the hole. I stay focused on hitting just that shot only. It keeps my mind free of other thoughts and it is amazing just how well you can hit the shot you have just called out. Many times you can follow up a trashed hole with a birdie or a good par. Stay positive with all of your thoughts and your actions. Allowing negativity to enter into your game allows disaster to creep in
I used to have similar problems to you, where you can’t ‘let go’ of a bad hole and it affects your next few shots until you calm down. I’ve tried quite a few things to try to deal with this. Golf hypnosis downloads are EXTREMELY effective, I’ve used them for years.
However, recently my game has been undergoing a TOTAL mental transformation because I’m working with a REALLY good, solid Golf Mental Training Program, you can read more about it here.
Hope this helps!
