There are certain things you can't control - the weather, the amount of sand in the bunkers, pin placements and the lie of your ball on the fairway.

If you react angrily or despondently to these factors, your game will suffer accordingly.
If you remain calm and relaxed within yourself, you'll be in a far better mindset to cope with these uncontrollable factors.
