Golf Tips for Maintaining Concentration:

For recreational golfers especially, this is difficult, because it is also a social game. What makes this more difficult is when you hit bad shots. We lose our focus on the present and start thinking about past and future shots. We start trying to make up for bad shots rather than focussing on the shot at hand.

One of my favorite suggestions for learning concentration is to go play by yourself first thing in the morning with no scorecard. No distractions, no score just each shot without worrying about results. Do this every once in while to learn how it should feel to be fully present and in a state of concentration.

Four to five hours is a long time to maintain concentration on anything, so you must learn how to build your concentration before each shot and be able to turn it off between shots. Having a good routine is critical for this. Start your routine at least ten steps before getting to your ball.

Another valuable method for concentration is to visualize every shot before you hit it. Even if you only have time to do this while you are walking to the ball, try to see every shot in your mind's eye before you actually hit it.
