Is golf as mental as they say? Óscar del Río, psychologist for the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, poses this question. “Yes, but not everything in our sport is mental. A combination of technical, strategic, and physical factors, as well as other details, come into play. To be a good player, it's not enough to be mentally strong.”.

Competition is another matter entirely; there, the mental aspect comes into play much more significantly. That's why Óscar encourages us to differentiate between being a good player and being a good competitor.
