As golf players, we are always pushing to perfect our game. It is a continual battle for improvement that seams never ending. Even the professional golfers are constantly working on their game. That shows you how difficult golf can be when you see even the pros struggling to maintain a constant level.

Do you know that only about 5% of golfers Worldwide can break 70? Do those golfers have something that we do not? According to golf manufacturers and their advertising claims, we need the same expensive golf equipment that the pros use to play to their level.

That obviously is marketing hype, as you can now pick up the same driver that a PGA star used last year for under $200. So, many of us do have technologically advanced clubs and golf balls that the pros use; why are we still unable to break 70 or even 80?

The fact is the average score throughout the last 30 years or more has scarcely changed. Multi-billion investments have gone into developing new technology for golf club and ball construction. Then add a few billion more on advertising that tells us that we need these expensive clubs and balls to improve.

Today, we can buy clubs that are easier to play, are more forgiving, cavity back and wide sole irons, plus golf balls that can fly a mile in a straight line. Yet the vast majority of golfers are still struggling to break 90! Obviously a great golf game can not be bought; not even with the hundreds of new golf training aids, golf swing guides, or modern instruction methods.

The difference between them comes down to how well they master their mental game of golf during each tournament.
