Harness The Power Of A Great Process



Each year many golfers set out to improve and have goals of reaching new levels in their game. It could be to shoot their personal best round, knock five strokes off of their handicap, or breakthrough and play well at the professional level.  These are known as “Outcome Goals.” 

Try:  For every “Outcome” based goal, set some realistic “Process Goals.” Process based goals are goals that are controllable by you, whereas outcome based goals are out of a golfer’s control.  Process goals are designed to give you short term stepping stones to help achieve your desired outcome.  Some examples of process based goals could be a commitment to a solid pre-shot routine during a given round, maintaining a good attitude after poor shots, practicing your short game three days a week, working weekly to build new habits in your golf swing, or even committing to a new exercise program.

Why:  Implementing process goals will help you to narrow your focus and provide you with a sense of control when you could easily be distracted by your desire for the end result.  Whether you are trying to get the most out of a full season, an important round of golf, or a simple driving range session, setting process goals will help you to stay present, motivated and give you the best chance to achieve your desired outcome.
