What is my Target?

What is my Target?

Don’t go in the water
Don’t slice it OB
Don’t hook it in the sand trap.
Don’t embarrass yourself

Most of you know exactly the thoughts I am talking about. These are thoughts that are adding shots to your score!

When golfers do not actively put good questions or statements into their heads, oftentimes stream of consciousness thinking puts negative thoughts in its place. Standing on the 1st Tee Box, imagine the difference between asking yourself.
“What if I slice and it goes Out of Bounds?” Or asking, “What’s my target?”
Or maybe “How did I bogey that last hole?” or “What is my target?”

Our minds are powerful and once a golfer is locked on a specific target, they are better at trusting their golf swings. Asking WHAT IS MY TARGET brings a golfer into the present. Next time on the course try and eliminate all the head chatter and only ask yourself one question…..What is my target?

Think Birdies,
