You Do (That’s what Causes Your Blow Up Holes)
Pillar #5 – Know Thyself
The Hard Truth
The course is not ‘out to get you.’ It’s dirt and grass.
Your emotions are what cause your ‘blow-up holes,’ and in turn, blow up your scores. Stop blaming the hole for your blow-up holes. Stop blaming the golf course as the cause of your blow up holes. And start taking ownership of the fact that you can’t manage yourself.
Do This Now
• After a bad shot: take a breath and name the next task (target, club, swing).
• No whining, no drama. Drama is strokes.
• Treat each shot like a new job. The last job is over. The next job requires you to keep par in play.

Quick Drill
• Use a reset phrase: “Next shot only.” Say it every time you get angry.
