You handcuff yourself when you get too focused on results. Focus on the process of worshipping the LORD by doing your best and allow Him to determine what will come from the effort. Allow Him to make it what she wants it to be.
When you get focused on results, it can cause you to define yourself by what you accomplish. This does not put you in a proper state if mind to perform. For instance, an area whereninhave messed up is the fact that I often reflect on the fact that I was able to win the conference championship. While it is okay that I reflect on this as a means of recognizing God's blessings on me, when I self-identify with accomplishments and define myself by them, it prevents me from getting in the proper state of mind to perform in the future. It tells my subconscious mind that I need to perform in a certain way, or else I am a failure. I must focus on the process, not the results, which will in turn allow me to better worship the Lord (which is the ultimate goal), but it will also allow me to be in a better state of mind to perform at a high level.

Keep it simple...and I gotta make the changes if I want to improve
Whenever you are nervous or not performing your best it is probably because you are thinking about too much. You need to get out if the way, simplify things, and get back to performing. Anytime you play well it is because you are keeping things simple and have a clear mind.
When struggling, it is important ro self-assess, be self-aware and mindful. Identify what is wrong, and change the though processes, or simplify the thought processes to allow yourself to get into a groove and start performing.
I need to start practicing doing these things. I have to step up and start making these changes. My mind must become mg greatest asset. I have the physical tools, and now I need to get the most out of my talent by becoming a smart player, and a player wbonuses his mind, along with his body, to achieve the best possible results - all as an act of worship to the Lord. After all, He wants me to make the most of the talents He has blessed me with.
If Peyton Manning, whonwas not the most talented athlete, could use his brain go become the greatest QB of all time, then I can become a much, much more successful golfer by changing my thought processes. And then good news is that I have seen myself do it. When I shot my course record tying 65 at Lake Kezar, I was at the point where inwas using my mind to make sure that I was performing the shots that I needed to.
