Get in the Zone!

Have you ever made two birdie putts in a row? Three in a row? Have you solidly struck your driver and the result was a lengthy laser in the middle of the fairway? Remember getting up and down for a big win? Do you remember your best round of golf?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you’ve probably experienced the phenomenon called the Zone.

It has been described by my clients as a “purposeful calm.” When you are in the Zone everything is possible. Your intuition reads your putts. It over-rides logic and selects your next club. You have more length off the tee and the center of the cup has your name on it. If fact, the cup may appear larger. Nicknames abound like clickin’, hot putter, in the flow, on all cylinders, dial-a-wedge, on fire, etc.

For 38 years, I’ve assisted clients in reaching the Zone. Using my S.C.O.R.E.® Success System, hundreds of professional athletes and thousands of executives have reached the top in nine professional sports and 37 industries. At the cornerstone of my program are five ingredients that, when balanced at a high state, the Zone mindset will arrive. They are: Self-Discipline, Concentration, Optimism, Relaxation and Enjoyment. These five ingredients form a domino-like chain called S.C.O.R.E. You are only as strong as the weakest link. You are responsible for all repairs. Which of these S.C.O.R.E. components do you need to work on? Which one seems to break down the most under pressure?

Keep your S.C.O.R.E. balanced. Get in the Zone!
