The mental side in short by John Schlee
The following is taken from Maximum Golf by John Schlee
A score is. It is posted, then it dies, no matter the number. Here are the rules of the score:
(1) Always have a procedure to a specific target.
(2) Play each shot, one shot at a time, to the best of your ability at that moment;
(3) When the shot does not please you, forgive and forget, then play the next shot to the best of your ability, at that moment;
(4) Continue this procedure until all 18 holes are played;
(5) Post the score;
(6) After the round, applaud your best efforts; then analyze your mistakes; correct them in your mind; and the round is finished;
(7) Compare yourself to no one else--only the golfer you know you can be.
(8 Repeat the procedure and post a new score, letting yourself get closer to the edge of your ability.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
