[Seanmx]

For example, when your opponent misses a short putt and berates himself, it’s obvious that he is in a negative mental state. At that moment, you can do something unique, like snap your fingers, hum a song, yawn – almost anything that is unique and is easily duplicated.

You’ve successfully set a negative anchor.

Do that each time he flubs a shot, and the anchor will become even stronger. Fire that anchor off (perform the unique action) when your opponent is feeling fine – and watch what happens. Your opponent will return to that negative feeling associated with the anchor – and his performance will suffer.

Now that’s the dark side of golf psychology!

Anyone who indulges in this type of beahvior will find themselves playing most of their golf on their own.
