HOW TO PREPARE THE NIGHT BEFORE
如何做好首轮比赛前夜的准备
确保你拥有一个正确的比赛策略对于攻克奥古斯塔至关重要,更不用说其他的巡回赛了。
奥古斯塔是世界上已知最难的球场之一,球手们为了能够让自己笑到最后必须根据自己的优势制定出一个最简单有效的攻克球场的策略。
在首轮的前夜,许多球员都选择放松心情,与家人共度时光,试着像往常的比赛前夜一样。
球员们“硬件”的准备工作就如我在周一二提到过的那样,找到最好的球场攻略,调整他们挥杆中的关键点,在快速的果岭上反复不断地练习他们的推杆击球。
最后,每一位球员都会在接下来的试场过程中预演他们的攻略计划并并根据实际情况找出计划中的漏洞,也要检查风向和天气状况,还有不要对未来的几天过多担忧。
“硬件”准备只是在参加顶级赛事中的冰山一角,另外一件对于顶级球员更为重要的事是为未来即将发生的事情做好心理准备,许多球员会想象他们自己打奥古斯塔的每一洞的情景,其中还有一些甚至会想象自己在周日赢得绿夹克的那一记冠军推。强大的心理专注力一直是每一位顶级球员在高压下能够实现最佳表现的重要因素。
想像力是非常重要的,不论你是准备参加一个本地的业余完赛事还是把目光盯住了“绿夹克”。一些很关键的心理准备方式就是确保你的身体已经完全放松并保有平和的心态,然后去回顾一些你在球场上的精彩时刻,感受那种比赛巅峰的激情。有时候想象力能帮助你预见到自己击球击到水面又弹起来。 毕竟没有哪一次的高尔夫能做到完美无瑕的 。
所有这些心理上的专注力小贴士都是为了让你能够拥有一个正面的心态,自信,并且积极的面对随之而来的挑战。
在奥古斯比赛是一种众不同经历,祝所有的球员在这座独具传统魅力的球场上都拥有好运!

The key to mastering Augusta, let alone any tournament, is making sure you have the correct game plan.
Augusta is known for being one of the most difficult courses in the world to navigate. In order for every player to be successful in the end, they must play to their strengths and make sure their route through the course is as easy and efficient as possible。
The night before the first round, many players will be relaxing and spending time with family, trying to treat the event like any other.
The player's physical preparation relates back to what I mentioned on Monday and Tuesday. Figuring out the best on-course strategy, keying in on fixing the imperfections in their swing, and repeatedly practicing their putting strokes on quick greens.
Ultimately, every player will go through their individual plan for the next few days in terms of what strategy they are planning on implementing and sticking with, checking the wind and weather conditions, and not thinking too much about what's in store for the days to come.
Playing at the highest level in golf goes far beyond physical preparation. One of the most important things for any top player to do is to mentally prepare for what's ahead. Many will visualize themselves going through every single hole at Augusta. Some even visualize putting on the green jacket on Sunday. Mental toughness is always a major component of every top player's strategy to allow them to perform at their absolute peak in high-pressure situations.
Visualization is important whether you are prepping to compete in your local amateur tournament, or your eyes are set on the green jacket. Some key ways to best mentally prepare are to really make sure your body is fully relaxed and your mind is quiet, then try to re-create some of your fondest memories on the golf course and feel the excitement of competing at your peak. Sometimes it even helps to see yourself hitting that shot in the water and bouncing back flawlessly afterward. After all, no golf round is ever perfect.
All of these mental toughness tips allow you to have a positive attitude, confidence, and willingness to tackle any challenge that comes your way.
Competing at Augusta is an experience unlike any other. Best of luck to all of the players as they enter a tradition unlike any other.
