Clarify your vision. Know why you are here. Deliberately practice every aspect of the game. Study and disect the course and form a plan of attack. Match your game to your strategy each day. When you are “on” pick the most aggressive targets. When your “B or C game shows up” pick more conservative ones.
When you address the ball, focus the mind exclusively on one question and only one question. What is my target? Make this your mantra.
Always pick a specific target. Give it your undivided attention. Make a fearless swing toward your target.
Regardless the flight of your golf ball, when you address it for your next shot, focus the mind exclusively on one question and only one question. What is my target?

I just re-read this book after first reading it six years ago. The applications to BTL and to mastering this game we call life, stunned me. Here’s one.
Change your questions/Change your life thought. What questions do you habitually ask yourself when adversity strikes?
How did I end up in the weeds again? What the hell just happened? Is anybody watching? How can I get outa here? What in the world got into me? Why does this always seem to happen to me? Now change these to one…
What is my target? AND, fearlessly swing again.
