written by Jon Whithaus This is the fourth part in a series of eight posts that describe the many forms of a Champion's Discipline. These eight forms of discipline have no particular order of priority, but each must be present to perform at a championship level. Discipline #4: Positive Thinking Discipline

1. Everything is a choice, you can always look at a situation in a positive manner if you choose to do so.
2. Course conditions and/or weather can always be used as a positive.
3. Never complain...even if you want you want to complain, don't vocalize it. Vocalizing your complaints will negatively effect you and your teammates.
4. Even away from the golf course, be positive about everything. Even negative thoughts about such things as meals, tv shows, movies, homework, etc. can create a bad environment that will soon negatively effect your golf.
5. Be supportive and positive to your teammates, coaches and competitors.
6. Always look at the next hole and the next round as a new opportunity, regardless of the result of the previous hole or round.
