This will take practice but use positive self-talk and positive visualization as part of your pre-shot routine. On the putting green see the line and track of your putt and visualize the ball rolling on it and falling in the hole. Then put your best stroke on it. Don’t beat yourself up over a missed shot. You will have plenty of opportunities to make up for bad shots. Try positive visualization and positive self-talk for your next practice session and then
