The first few times you monitor your self talk... just listen.

Pay attention to the positivity vs negativity of your self talk.

At the end of the round give your self talk a + positive rating or a - negative rating.

If the overall tone of your self talk is negative your are making it much harder to focus strongly, commit to your shots and trust your training and ability.

As you can imagine self talk can change dramatically from round to round, hole to hole and even shot to shot.
