- Think of golf as an Art not a Science
- Never have expectations of how you should play
- Think about golf as a series of individual shots executed as best you can, instead of an aggregate score
- Be prepared to scramble from the start
- Have a disciplined shot routine to keep you in the present. You cannot be preoccupied with the past or future
- Always hit to very precise targets and have a clear picture of the shot you are about to hit
- Never have technical thoughts about your swing on the golf course. This reduces your focus on what you are about to do – hit the golf ball to a precise target with a clearly defined shape
- Every practice swing is specific to the particular shot you are about to hit
- Use the driving range to experiment with as many shots of different shapes and trajectories. The best way to learn is by feel
- We are aiming for consistency in our scores not our shots. Every shot is different
- Your enjoyment should not be hinged on your score or you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Think about what you can learn about yourself in the process
- Golf scores and the quality of your golf shots will never define you as a person
- Golfers will never be judged on how technically sound their swing is
- Commit to every shot 100%

I purchased your audio session and I listen to it every chance I get, it gave me an incite on golf I never had. I was told of the different things to do, but being told why we have to do it, made all the difference. Thank you. Most of it described my game to a T. I’m a 5 HC, I shot even par several times at a couple of different courses, I know it’s in my head about the breaking par barrier. I’ve been under par many times with a couple of holes to play, than you know what happens. Hopefully I can use your teaching to break that barrier this year.
Thank you again.
