The experimenter in this study examined how the use of a conservative strategy can improve a golfer's performance and whether the effects of the strategy are mediated by fatigue. Prior research shows how individual golfers' performances were improved when they were given the opportunity to hit a second tee shot using a conservative strategy for playing a hole. One of the models present that could explain how performance was improved in previous research is catastrophe theory (Hardy, 1990). Catastrophe theory states that performance is a function of physiological arousal and cognitive anxiety. By using the CSAI-2 (Martens, Vealey, & Burton, 1990), the researcher obtained measures of cognitive anxiety state, somatic anxiety state and state self-confidence. Participants were 40 golfers recruited from two local golf courses to examine the effects of using a plan for playing a hole in the most conservative way versus playing the same hole with no plan. Scores on the 9<super>th</super> or 18<super> th</super> hole were studied. The design of the study was a 2 (strategy) x 2 (hole) between subjects with participant handicap as a covariate. Strategy improved performance on the hole as well as enhancing self-confidence. The results may be explained in that the strategy facilitated imagery and self-confidence because the athlete had visually imagined already successfully completing the task. Further research in this area could help explain how a strategy can enhance performance.
