Becoming a Scratch Golfer

June 25th, 2009 by John Graham Leave a reply »
I continue my discussion on how to help good players break into the next level. I think in an effort to get to that next level, players seek out ways of improvement that others went through in hopes that if they follow the same path, they will get there. Very logical, right? The strange thing is, I have yet to find a source where someone says what allowed them to move to the next level was doing the same thing as someone else. Sure, people get credited for helping but show me someone that said,”I just did what he did”.
There’s where the logic falls apart.

Don’t get me wrong, reading about how others broke through may help give you some different avenues to travel down. However, it will not give you a roadmap. Stop looking for one. There is no magic bullet. Each person needs to first KNOW and UNDERSTAND there game and their SOUL.

I can honestly say I never had enough true belief in my ability to break through. I would hit too many wayward shots that I BELIEVED shouldn’t happen. Wrapping that anchor around my neck made it impossible for me to hold my head up high and know that my next shot would be ok. That’s me.

I’ve met some people that honestly believe wayward shots were the result of mud or bad golf ball manufacturing or something crazy like that. They refused to believe it could be their fault. I couldn’t do that.

When I took a good hard look at myself, my game and was truly honest enough with myself, an answer came forward. I will leave that answer for myself, but each of you need to do this. Afterward, you will know what to do and what SACRIFICES must take place if you determine that is what you truly want.

Time to get real folks. You’ll thank me later. By the way, this applies to life also.
