The Causes of Better Golf Scores
By: Dr. Paul Callaway

Never Worry About Your Golf Scores Again
You must aim to reach the point where you are playing golf and shooting scores at the level that you never have to worry about your scores again. The good news is that optimal golf performance is easier to achieve today than it has ever been before. We live in times where we have all the essential golf performance factors understood and available to us like never before. We are surrounded by more top golf performance and opportunity to improve than ever before. Your job is to get your fair share of better scoring and golf enjoyment too!

Golf Scoring Success Is Not An Accident
The Law of Cause and Effect applies to golf scores and total performance as much as to any other subject … finances, health and relationships. This law says that ‘lower scores’ is an effect. As such, it proceeds from certain, specific causes. When you identify these causes and implement them in your own life and activities, you will get the same effects that thousands of other golfers, who have applied these same principles, have already achieved. You can achieve whatever level of golf performance and lower scores you really want if you will just do what other golfers have done before you to achieve the same results. And if you don't, you won't. It is as simple as that. It’s the law!

Your Beliefs Determine Your Success
There is perhaps no other area where universal laws are more in evidence than in the acquiring and keeping of top golf performance.  In the golf world today, there are now 10’s of thousands men and women golfers who have started with very average or below average golf performance results and now are enjoying extraordinary levels of golf. Their attitudes and behaviors have been studied in great depth. We now know the keys to lower golf scores and reaching optimal performance levels with reduced stress and strain on your body than ever before. And what we know is that your most cherished beliefs on the subject of lower scores and total golf performance will be the primary determinants of how much better you get at your game and the performance levels you maintain as you continue to play throughout your lifetime.   

Your Primary Aim in Life
Your primary aim in life should be the achievement of your own happiness – both ‘on’ and ‘off’ the golf course. However, happiness is something that exists naturally in the absence of fears, doubts and negative emotions. One of the factors that most deprives you of happiness is worry about your golf scores. And, by the way, when we talk about golf scoring worries, we're not referring to your having scores that are too low. The problem is virtually always that people feel that their scores are too high and that their enjoyment for the game is suffering as a result.

Build a Golf Scoring Fortress
Perhaps the greatest single fear, the one that causes you more distress and unhappiness than anything else, is the fear of failure. In the area of golf scoring and performance, you experience this as the fear of embarrassment on the golf course when you play with other people, and the fear of loss. Since one of the deepest needs of human nature is to be recognized in a favorable way by our peers, any threat to your self-worth and/or identity, real or imaginary, can cause you tremendous stress.

You can only free yourself from the fears failure and embarrassment by achieving a specific level of scoring and golf performance and then by building a fortress around it so that you are safe and impregnable. This achievement of continuous improvement in golf is a key responsibility as a golfer. No one else will do it for you.
