At 14, you are too interested in results rather than improvement. Unless the shot is perfect you are disappointed which makes you lose your " cool". As you get older and realize that no one is capable of doing his best always, you will develop a better mentality on the course. Maturity usually leads mental stability on the golf course.

I played last week for the first time in two years (I travel outside the country for extended periods) and I didn't even bother with a scorecard - I just went out and hit it. Out of bounds? No big deal. Lost forever in the trees? That's ok too. Mulligans? No worries. And I loved every minute of it. Just try to remember that Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither did Tiger become the best just by picking up a club. He worked hard to keep his cool and not vent his frustration when he was learning and practicing, and he got better by not losing his concentration and focus when it counted. Good luck, and just remember it's all about your enjoyment, and just let each shot go. My best advice would be to remember that you are to have fun, first and foremost.
