You may get very hard on yourself. So, it’s important that you’re mentally ready also. ●Find your own formula or recipe for success. There's no specific mould for a top player. Every player is different. They are organized in their own way. they know how much golf to play, when to rest, how many practices they need, what food they want. ●Have the will to learn and be open-minded. Sharing ideas with other people. Learn from the very best and speak to other people how they become successful. Ask yourself: does it fit your way of thinking? ●You have to find a way to stay in the present. Like in golf, focus on one shot at a time. ●Get in the zone. It's the area where you're unaware of what's going on - so into the moment. ●Make sure you have a well-balanced life. Compartmentalize to balance the things in your life. If you do a specific thing like golfing, always give your 100%. Then if you do another, give again your 100%. ●Keep going. Just like in golf, the odds of being successful in most sports are high. Never give up on your dreams. ●There's certain discipline you acquire from golf that you could apply in your personal life. To be the best player, you have to have a goal, routine, and the mindset – just like any stuff you want to embark on in your life. ●Grow the game through coaching and making it more fun. If you want to grow the game, make it easy to play for people. Time is a luxury that some people can't have. Help them get better so they put more time. BEST MOMENTS ●“It’s a difficult sport on the mental side of it.
