On-Course Survival Kit/Checklist

The following is your survival kit when it hits the fan on the course. Regularly review the checklist and pick your top 3-4 to putt on a 3 x 5 card to take to the course for that day.  I recommend putting this kit into a voice memo to help you memorize the line items.

• Where is the target; what is the ball flight to the target
• Freedom of swing in the correct direction
• No hurry, no worry, no fear
• Focus on the process and the outcome takes care of itself
• Plan conservatively, swing assertively
• Identify the trouble, then re-center yourself on the target
• Commit to the shot and trust it
• Pre-shot routine readies your body and mind
• Relax the body by unhinging the jaw and maybe a swimmer’s shake-out
• Deep breathing and tension are mutually exclusive
• 372 million less 1 people in the country do not care about your shot
• Post-shot routine allows you to reflect, learn, and restore confidence
• IIWII – It Is What It Is.  Any else is just baggage causing mental clutter
• WWPD- What Would Pernice Do?
• Each shot, each moment is a new start
• Nothing can distract me!
