Many golfers will imagine themselves hitting an amazing shot, but Clemence Martin imagines playing an entire round.
Martin, a sophomore on the Oklahoma State women’s golf team, said before every tournament, she takes the yardage book, which is a guide to the golf course, and plays all 18 holes in her head.
She visualizes good shots and bad. When she visualizes hitting a bad shot, she takes the time to feel what she would feel in real life. Then she works through it and visualizes getting herself out of trouble.
“Just trying to find, like, solutions to help me so if it happens the next day, I’ll be prepared because I’ve already experienced it,” Martin said.
