How do you prevent a bad round from getting worse? An LPGA pro shares her strategy

**How to Prevent a Bad Round from Getting Worse: LPGA Pro’s Strategy**

Golf is a challenging game, and even the best players have bad rounds. Sometimes, it seems like the harder you try to recover from a bad start, the worse it gets. But there are some things you can do to prevent a bad round from spiraling out of control.

One of the best things you can do is to focus on one shot at a time. Don’t dwell on the mistakes you’ve already made, and don’t get ahead of yourself by thinking about the shots you have yet to play. Just focus on the shot you’re currently facing, and try to hit it the best you can.

It also helps to have a pre-shot routine that you can follow. This routine should help you to focus your mind and get into the right mindset for each shot. Your routine might include taking a few deep breaths, visualizing the shot you want to hit, and then waggling the club a few times. Whatever your routine is, make sure it’s something that you can do consistently, and that it helps you to stay focused.
