1. Golf’s most basic lessons

2. Attitude
Believe in yourself
Play every shot as if you will lose anyway if it is not executed
Commit to every shot
Leave missed shots behind as soon as possible
The difference between a good and bad score (winning and losing) is only a few
momentary lapses of attention
There are unlimited excuses – let them go as soon as you recognize you are
using them
Be part of some greater whole – be in harmony with the way things are
Success is as dangerous as failure: avoid both
Routine
Develop a routine and follow it always
Simplify the routine
Stay within your game: do not try shots beyond your likely capability
If you do not know where you are hitting it to– step away
Feel your tempo

3. Intention
Play every shot to go into the hole
Always have a target
Think through the shot…commit to the shot…make a good swing
Comportment
When walking between shots, be comfortable with yourself
Do the right thing with your swing and with other people
Your behavior is more important than your score
The game is social, but golf is private
Maintain good body language – sometimes good swings create smiles; sometimes
it’s the other way around
Always maintain your dignity
Dealing With Competition
Do not expect your competition to lose to you – you have to play your game and you
may win
Do not be vulnerable to great shots by your competition – if they were not capable of
them, you would not be playing against them
