Setting Goals the Right Way

Goal setting can be broken into two components - Long range goals and  short range or round specific goals

These should be as specific as possible and shared with friends and family to help create some accountability on your part..

Example: 50% of greens in regulation (be realistic though, pros on hit 70% of greens)

Example: Scheduled practices on focused areas of your game

Going into each round you should avoid thinking about a specific number and instead be looking to set smaller easier to achieve goals that will add up to that number

Set percentages of fairways hit, GIR, and up & downs you want to accomplish throughout the round. Focusing on these smaller tasks takes your mind off of the bigger target and lets you achieve on a more consistent basis.

PRO TIP - Don’t be afraid to blackout par on your scorecard with a marker. This will help keep you focused on each shot rather the result of the hole.
