The sample of 150 golfers (75 amateurs, 75 Professional) was derived by purposive random sampling with age ranging from 18 - 49 years. The instrument for this study was the test of performance strategies (Thomas, Murphy and Hardy, 1999) that consisted of 61 items. (Pokard, 2014). Data were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, Wilcoxon matched pairs signed-ranks test, and Mann-Whitney U test. The level of significance was set at .05 levels. The results revealed that: Amateur golfers had scores of goal setting, imagery and relaxation more than a professional golfer (p < 0.05) during practice. Amateur golfers had an imagery, relaxation, and negative thinking more than professional golfers (p <0.05) in competition. The psychological skills used by professional golfers in competition and during practice were significant (p <0.05). The scores of psychological skills in competition more than during practice (p < 0.05) consist of goal setting and activation. The scores of psychological skills in competition less than during practice (p < 0.05) consist of automaticity, imagery, attentional control, and negative thinking (p < 0.05). III. The psychological skills used by amateur golfers in competition and during practice were significant (p <0.05). The scores of psychological skills in competition more than during practice (p < 0.05) consist of activation. The scores of psychological skills in competition less than during practice (p < 0.05) consist of goal setting (p < 0.05). Journal of Sports Science and Technology 2018; 18(1): 68-79
