Setting Powerful And Achievable Golf Goals
'I've built my career on a succession of goals. Hitting them - and sometimes missing them narrowly - has been the fuel, the impetus that has taken me from one level up to the next'. (Greg Norman, 'Shark Attack')
I have written this article to guide you on how to set goals for yourself. Personally I am impressed by Leslie Cameron?s methodology and would recommend it to all. To start with, set a goal that is ?achievable? rather than setting an unachievable goal for you. Research and see if anyone prior to you has been able to achieve the same goal. If no, what is the basis on which you feel you shall be able to do it? The answers to these questions would give you clarity on whether your targets are reasonable or not.
Secondly analyze the monetary costs and personal costs this goal would coat you. For example the regularity of your extra golf sessions would depend completely on you. Keep in mind that you may need to forfeit certain personal engagements too and need to be mentally tuned to do so.
Analyze your golf technique and corrections needed. Is your coach competent enough to help rectify them? Is your body healthy enough to endure the physical needs of golf?
Lastly, analyze the time that would be spent in achieving your goal. Not all goals can be achieved immediately. Are you ready to wait and would you be happy if you get it at a much later date? If the answer is no then you need to re-evaluate your goals. Set a goal that is achievable and gives you happiness and not frustration.
1. What are my expectations from my life and where do I wish to be?
2. Shall I be able to do it?
3. What indicators would tell me that I have fulfilled my goal?
4. Do I have the reserves to achieve my goal?
5. Am I mentally prepared to bear the costs and compromises for achieving the goal?
6. Are the resources to achieve the target under my control?
7. In case my goal takes time to be fulfilled would I be fine with it?
And you are all set to achieve your goals.
