Golf goal setting is your first step to turning ambitions and dreams for your game into reality.
Why is goal setting for competitive golf so important?
Just for a moment try to imagine getting into your car and driving to a tournament at a new course located somewhere in an unfamiliar, sprawling and congested large city. You have no directions, map or navigation system. What are your chances of making your tee time?
More than likely you will take a few wrong turns, use a lot of gas and waste a lot of time. Let's say that out of despiration you finally stop and ask for directions, then find yourself on roads closed for repair.
Now, if you do manage to roll into the club house parking lot before your tee time, how prepared will you be to play your best?
Hey, odds are good that you will not even find the club house!
