Don't be nervous ladies

Don't be nervous ladies



I don't mean to sound sexist here. Rather, I'm talking about facts. I have always noticed that female golfers have more trouble with self-belief in terms of trusting their alignment or their reads of the putting green. Women golfers also seem to suffer more from tournament pressure.





I have in the past concluded that this was somehow one result of our evolutionary development; that the female brain is not as adapted to "fight to win" as is that of a man. This I still think is almost certainly true. The male and female brain are different in not so subtle ways as a result of which traits proved to be the most adaptive depending upon the gender specific roles that individuals of necessity played.



The female golfers brain does not naturally have quite the same "killer instinct" as that of the male golfer due to these evolutionary influences. In addition to this, the different ways in which the female brain and the male brain respond to anxiety triggers also has a major impact upon the way in which we play golf and perform in tournaments.



Medical research has shown that women are twice as likely to suffer from anxiety and that they have far more stress triggers than do men. This is a fact. As I say, I'm not being sexist; it's how it is. Women appear to have on average four times more anxiety triggers than men.
