How To Be More Consistent 1

All right, so in this video you have either played a bad round or you're just trying to understand mindset a little bit better. So if you haven't already, you need to go back and watch the how to score video where I explain how scoring really works and the variance within your particular scores and how that relates to mindset. That's absolutely foundational. If you haven't watched that, that is your first step here. Um, but assuming that you've watched that, you're just playing a bad tournament, wasn't your best, it's really important that we're able to frame this appropriately. So number one, you have to have the context of how does this relate to my rolling 10-round average? That's really the first question you need to be asking yourself. How far off was it? Now, it might be a case where it's relatively extreme, you know, it could be 10 shots worse than your average. That's certainly possible. But then we also want to know, how does that compare to your average variance within your rounds, and, and how is that looking, right? So that aside, um, this is something that, you know, really big challenge for you. Please bring this to the weekly calls or shoot me a message about this or comment below if there's something that I really miss out in this video. I know there's going to be a couple like little, uh, technical things, but I want to make sure that this is so foundational, um, that you guys get tired of me saying. There's some specific cases that come out that I'm able to address as well, but this is the fundamental thing that I see that you guys run into problems with. You want to think in terms of skills, not your scores. So when you're going to a tournament, you really want to be able to say this to yourself: how I do in this tournament is based on my average skill in each of the core categories. And so that is the absolutely crucial, non-negotiable thing when you're looking at a tournament. It's not, hey, I want to shoot something it's, I know whatever my average score, like my average stats are, I want to do my best to play to that number. I'll try and beat it by any, some, some wild amount, because I just want to play to that number. And you have whatever area in your game you're trying to improve, that's the only area where we're really focused on. Everything else, we're just trying to play to our level. Now, when you look back on your round, say, how did my score compare over my last 10 rounds in this particular category right now? One of the first things I would want you to do is if it was a particularly terrible round, odds are you just had a bad day. I just, I would encourage you to just forget about it. Now let's say this has been a consistent trend. Once again, bring this to the weekly calls if that's a consistent trend, because I want to be able to see this for you. But I want to give you this framework here. Looking at your last 10 rounds, you know, did it actually move your last 10 rounds in a negative direction? And just how overall does that compare? And then also looking at your stats in that area of the last 10 rounds. How is this particular round different from those stats? You should be able to look back and say like, hey, you know, for the most part, you know, my scrambling was the same. Um, you know, the thing that really changed here is I had a bunch of penalties off the tee and that hurt my greens regulation, right? So then you can understand a little bit clearer and be like, hey, I didn't have any extra, you know, 3-putts. Like I didn't really have any crazy like compound errors. It was just, you know, my penalties were really bad in this particular round. So that way you're able to translate this for yourself instead of saying, hey, I had a horrible tournament. You know, I don't know what happened. Is saying, hey, you know, I had trouble off the tee. And then I want you to go through that process and assess, okay, why did I have trouble off the tee? Because I was missing left, so I was missing right. What specific thing was the challenge for you? And if you're unclear on that, once again, bring it to one of the weekly calls or shoot me a DM about it or comment it below. That way you can get direction on that. But that's really what we want to be able to do is walk away from a tournament and say, hey, it wasn't my best round. Why do not shy away from this round? This is something that you're going to learn from and say, hey, if the wheels do come off, I know this is the part of my game that's going to fall apart. Cool, let's start to build this game and insulate you from that. That way that, you know, we're looking at all your average scores, we're able to cut out these worst rounds. And so we're always going to be in a position where we shoot, you know, some of the worst rounds we've ever shot. No matter what our average is, we're always going to have those days just by virtue of shooting rounds of golf. We're going to have our worst days. We want to learn from those days and say, oh, this is the thing that really came off the wagon. I really want to develop this skill. And odds are it's already going to be the thing that we're focused on. Unless there's some wild change that you made in your game, odds are it's going to be something that we're already addressing. And in most cases, you can actually just walk away and be like, yeah, this wasn't my day, you know, until it becomes a pattern or something like that. Um, you know, more or less good to go. So hopefully this video makes sense. If there's something that I'm missing here, there's a specific, specific case, comment below. Or if you're looking back on a bad tournament, you're not quite sure how to discern this out even though you've watched the how to score, um, module here, bring it to the weekly calls. That way I can clarify that for you.
