What motivates highly successful players? It’s something we are constantly searching for with the professionals we work with. Some might think winning is the main priority for the best players in the world, but I’d say it’s only a small part of the equation. For a tour player, success is found in preparation. Think about a man like Sam Snead, who spent the better part of 70 years in golf. Winning was a part of his relationship with the game, but there was more to it than that: There were lessons learned, character built and friendships made. All of these experiences became preparation for the next round. Cumulatively, these are the ups and downs that shape our lives and make us who we are. The best players we work with have a macro approach to the game. They focus on the big picture of their ballstriking, how they roll their putts, how they control their ball and how they compete — each of these areas begins and ends with preparation. Our players have had their greatest success when the focus was not on score. Their best results came from perfect preparation. Think about some of your most enjoyable moments on the course. Standing on a tee box, seeing the shot in your mind’s eye, feeling the swing you have practiced and piping a perfect shot. That moment wasn’t about score. It was about a comfort level created through a relationship with the game. There was time spent practicing, the experience of having executed the shot before and comfort in your knowledge of the swing — those all came together to allow you to hit that shot. The best players in the world spend countless hours building this level of comfort on the course. How much time have you spent on your relationship with the game?
