Abstract

In golf, a very low percentage of swings are executed as anticipated. This chapter explores the relevance of psychological resilience in the game of golf, outline a number resilience-related strategies, and explore where players, coaches, and parents can play their role in the development of resilience. Traditionally, resilience has been conceptualised as either a trait or a process. The complexity of interacting resources has been illustrated through research with elite-level athletes. In sum, resilience is the dynamic process of withstanding and adapting to stressors, influenced by individual resources, across different trajectories. The development of resilience is considered to be multifaceted, with a range of factors being targeted to support an individual to withstand pressure. It presents a body of literature that outlines how golf players, coaches, and parents can optimise robust, rebound, and reintegration resilience.
