I’m going to once again remind Golf Fitness Magazine readers that human beings in general are goal-oriented, goal-driven creatures. Every single day of our lives we move from one goal to the next, even though the goal may not have been written out or planned. Some of our goals are simple, like turning off the light before we go to bed.
In the last issue I stressed the importance of knowing what you want. I challenged you to take the first step toward finally realizing your true potential by coming up with your very own crystal clear goals. In case you missed it, some of the simple criteria in coming up with your own goals are as follows:
- The goal(s) you set for yourself must be your goal(s) and not a goal that someone else wants for you. This is important because if you do not have a burning desire to achieve the goal, then most likely you will not put forth the effort or do what it takes to achieve the goal.
- Your goals should be specific. “I want to become a better golfer,” or “I want to be stronger,” are not specific. “I want a six handicap,” or “I want to be able to do thirty pushups and run five miles” are specific. Being as specific as you can will keep your vision well defined.
- Choose a goal that is realistic, and pick a date on which to complete your goal. For example, “I would like to increase my driving average by 20 yards, within 90 days from today.”
- Write your goal(s) down. Remember, if it’s not written down, it is a dream, not a goal. Dreams rarely come true; well-planned goals almost always come true!
- Based on the goals that you have come up with, write your very own mission statement to keep you motivated when things may not seem to be going your way.
Very exciting stuff! Now that we have a clear vision of what we want or where we want to go, we are ready to take the important next step.

How many of you actually sat down on January 1st and made a list of New Year’s resolutions, or things that you really wanted to accomplish this coming year? Probably a large percentage of you… if not this year, you have at some point attempted to do so in your past.
What gave you the desire to come up with your New Year’s resolutions? What gave you the motivation to want to sit down and write out on paper the things you wanted to change about yourself, or the things you wanted to accomplish in the coming year?
I’m going to go out on the limb and say that it’s just plain old human nature to want to improve… want to get better than we are right now. We see others succeed and in turn want to do the same. We dream of winning that big golf event down at the club, or someday being the longest hitter in our Saturday morning golf leagues. Or maybe for those golf professionals our there, you dream of someday winning on the LPGA or PGA Tour, or the World Long Drive Championship. Whatever your dream may be, please go ahead and answer question number two for me. How many of you have looked at those New Year’s resolution today? Hmmm… how about this week? Ok then, how about this month? If you answered “I have” to two out of the three questions above, I’m sure you are better today than you were on January 1st. If not, I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t even remember what those resolutions were in the first place.
I’d like to introduce you to the ULTIMATE WEAPON FOR SUCCESS in LIFE and ON THE COURSE.
This great tool has been used by some of golf’s best: Nicklaus, Hogan, and Palmer to name a few. Actually, this secret weapon is used by every single successful person you have ever read about or even heard of. This weapon is called goal setting. Goal setting is used to conquer armies, win major championships, or even just to simply look great at the beach. The ability to set goals is something every one of us already possess, but if practiced and developed will help all of your dreams come true.
