Wie Are Back on the Horse; Kerr Shows How It's Done

Hello. Cristie Kerr should be commended for her gutsy win last week against Annika Sorenstam. She showed everyone what having the right mental attitude can do for a player against supposedly large odds. Kerr was 2 behind Annika with 9 holes left, but made 4 birdies to secure the victory. Players on both the LPGA and PGA could learn from this.
The main quality you need to pull off a win like Kerr's? Patience. If you hit a bad shot, just tell yourself the next one will make up for it. And if you make a birdie, tell yourself you just have to make another one, and you can do it without being 300 yards from the tee or 2 feet from the hole.
On the other side of the galaxy is Michelle Wie, who is playing the 84 Lumber Classic the week after being at the bottom of the scores in her European Tour debut. Will Michelle fair better this time? I think so.
The main quality you need to get out of the "slump" Wie is in? Patience. Just play one hole at a time, with par as your goal. 36 pars, and you could make the cut this week. If you have a bogey or worse, tell yourself you still have holes to make a birdie or two to offset it.
Patience is the key in good times and bad to play better golf.

Regards,
Steve
