A Quote by Joe Ingles

A lot of guys can shoot two, three, four, five, six, seven, 10 feet behind the 3-point line. A lot of people can do it. It's just, when is it going to be considered a good shot? When are coaches going to encourage you to shoot that shot?

All you can do is really the prep work and make sure you're ready to hit each golf shot. Outside of that, you're not sure really what's going to happen.

You have to go in with a mindset, just if you're open you're going to shoot your shot.
First and fore-most, you must have confidence. Your second mental problem is concentration. Think the shot through in advance before you address the ball.
