“It’s like what the basketball coaching legend Red Auerbach once said: “If you want to be a great basketball team, you have to figure out a way to win on the nights when you shoot thirty to thirty-five percent from the floor. The mediocre teams only win on the nights when they shoot fifty percent.”

“In Competition, Lock In In other sports, coaches have a saying that once the game starts, you have to lock in. As soon as the competition begins, you cannot be thinking of anything other than the game and what you need to do to succeed. Executing your game plan is your sole focus. The same should be true of your golfing mindset. No distractions. No random thoughts. No negativity. From the time you step onto the first tee until you make your final putt on the last green, nothing matters except sticking to your routine and shooting the best score possible. It’s like Jane Blalock once said about her routine before starting a competitive round: “I go into the locker room and find a corner by myself and just sit there. I try to achieve a peaceful state of nothingness that will carry over onto the golf course. If I get the feeling of quiet and obliviousness within myself, I feel I can’t lose.” Blalock won twenty-seven times on the LPGA Tour and still holds the record for most consecutive cuts made (299) on any professional tour!”
