Bob Rotella's book, Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect, explores the power of the mind. Often your opponent is yourself.
He argues for the most difficult attention - efficiency and effectiveness to pursue excellence with every shot, every day.
That's not advice to play well today or tomorrow. He challenges players to focus completely whether it's on the putting green or the tee box on the 18th hole.
That means complete attention to reading a set or the first chapter of Moby Dick. It means listening to parents with the same intent as hearing Coach Celli.
Rotella explains how at his peak, Tiger Woods finished every practice making a hundred consecutive eight foot putts. He didn't miss anything inside four feet that golf season.
Cultivating focus is about learning how to practice attention. If you want to be your best, then start now.
