On behalf of MyGolfingGoals Academy, I would like to wish all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
In celebration of this wonderful holiday, I would like to offer all golfers out there a delicious pie. Yes, this is a bit on the corny side - but not if you’re trying to reach your true potential as a golfer.
Please check out the MyGolfingGoals Peak Performance Circle that I’ve developed. This is to help players understand that it is not all about the golf swing. Please make sure to incorporate a plan for 2010 that involves attacking each category of this circle!
Happy holidays!

A congratulations goes out to MyGolfingGoals Academy student, Justin Peters, for moving on to the PGA Tour’s Final Qualifying stage. After a 5th place finish at first stage, Justin went on to fire rounds of 68-67-72-67 in second stage - at the very difficult Hombre Golf Club, in Panama City, Florida.
The final stage of PGA Tour qualifying will be held December 2-7 at Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. This grueling event will be contested over 6 rounds (108 holes) and only the low 25 scores and ties will earn their PGA Tour cards for the 2010 season. The rest of the field will have some degree of status on the Nationwide Tour. The purse for the event is $1,012,500 with $50,000 going to the champion.
Watch live on The Golf Channel. Here are the TV Times:
Dec. 5th 1pm-4pm
Dec. 6th 1pm-4pm
Dec. 7th 12:30pm-4pm
Good luck Justin!
What are your on course goals? While playing a round of golf, the huge majority of golfers put their energy towards what they don’t have control over. Learn to focus all your energy towards what you do have control over and your round will be much more enjoyable. This skill will without question help you reach your true potential!
Controllable Goals
- Making crystal clear decisions about the shots you want to hit before you hit them
- Making a consistent pre-shot routine before each and every shot you hit
- Committing 100% to the shot you are about to hit
- Always have control of your emotions (don’t ever let your emotions control you)
- Never give up
Uncontrollable Goals
- Your score
- Winning the tournament or beating your playing partners
- Weather & conditions of the golf course
