Connor Stirling Peterson says elite golfers must play every shot and count them, never abandon rounds or skip holes. Finishing every round and being honest about your score reveals your real strengths and weaknesses, building the confidence needed to shoot lower.
I think one of the best things you can do if you want to play golf at an elite level is to play and count every single shot. It's really easy to go through 5 rounds or 5 holes, just be like, you know what, I just don't have it today, I'm gonna go back to the driving range. But if you actually go through that round, grind it out, and you always play those scores, by the time you figure out how to always go out there and play solid every time you go to the golf course, just imagine how good your going to be and how confident you're going to be that you can shoot the scores that you say that you do. And that's really what it comes down to. A lot of times good players struggle to shoot lower scores because a lot of times they're not being 100% honest with themselves. You want to get better, play every single shot, be real with yourself, see exactly where your game is, and always get out there, finish your rounds.
