PLAYER MANUAL 2: Goal Setting
It may seem a long way away, but Summer is getting closer, and so is the golfing season. Maybe it's a good time to set ourselves some goals?
Planning for Improvement
We all need a sense of direction to help us improve our skills but sometimes goals like getting our handicap down to scratch or representing our country do nothing other than create pipe dreams. In order to improve our skills, we need to set goals that are both appropriate and controllable, usually divided into short and medium term goals.
The following are the 4 key questions you will need to answer to plan your improvement.
- Where am I now? What areas do I need to improve on?
- Who/what can help me to become better at this?
- What action can I do to help me achieve these goals?
- How will I know when I have achieved this skill?
