Importance of clear intention, attention, and attitude

Having a clear intention about what you want the golf ball to do is crucial. This allows your body to have a map to follow. Attention plays a vital role in focusing on the right elements during the swing, such as the club head or the target. Attitude, particularly acceptance, is key in managing outcomes and being resilient in the face of challenges. Accepting the variety of outcomes and letting go of negative stories and self-imposed consequences is essential for optimal performance.
