Setting Your Goals - By: Jeff Austin

One of the more important decisions when you pursue a career in golf is to set your goals.

Do you want to play all tournaments, or is there a specific one that attracts you.

Is your goal to go on to the majors tournaments like the U.S. Open, the British Open, the PGA and the Masters these are the majors, and are a future goal for any person who plans to pursue golf as a career.

When planning your goals, include training with a professional if at all possible, they can aid you in improving your shots and confidence building, which is extremely important in a golf career.

Lack of confidence in your-self and your abilities will show in your game by distraction, poor shots, bad decisions and poor course management.

Another important reason to work with a golf instructor is to increase your ability to concentrate on the shot you are taking at the moment.

Thinking about a bad shot in the past or an upcoming difficult hole takes away your ability to concentrate and stay in the shot you are working on.

Learning to be happy in high-stress circumstances is also an important goal, as being in a golf tournament is a high stress situation.
