Pressure Calls for a Script

Pressure isn’t about words but a script. Use these cues: - **Calm, Committed, Confident** as mantras. - Three deep breaths (inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth) while keeping your posture open. - Visualize the target (target sightline, tempo, swing path).

Pressure isn’t about words but a script. Use these cues:

  • Calm, Committed, Confident as mantras.
  • Three deep breaths (inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth) while keeping your posture open.
  • Visualize the target (target sightline, tempo, swing path).

Describe this for yourself as a “Pressure Pocket” block:

Write your own script for the tee shot, the approach, the putt, and immediately log it so you have it ready next time. The power lies in repetition: the script turns tension into focus.
