Teaching Times May 2017 “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you are capable.” -John Wooden, Basketball Hall of Fame player / coach

Dedicating to P3 Thinking

A technique developed by Dr. Robin Vealey, P3 thinking requires discipline in your mental preparation before, during and after a round. The three Ps stand for Purposeful, Productive and Possibility thinking.

Purposeful: Have a purpose and an intention in your approach to the round as well as each shot.

Productive: Focus in the “now” moment, and attune yourself to the “task at hand.” Have a short memory for poorly played shots and a long memory for successes. “Let go” of self-criticism, guilt over “failing a partner” and any thought that intrudes on your ability to “be here now.” Keep your thinking constructive, useful and centered on the present, and keep swing thoughts simple, employing a fixed-point concentration on “how” you will execute “this” swing.

Possibility: Shape each shot in your mind. You not only recognize a clear target or landing area, you also plan for it. Factors are likely to include how we’re striking the ball that day, the weather, and course conditions. Possibility thinking, however, never involves anticipating a score or even calculating numbers during the round.

Dave Pelz Short Game Test

When it comes to success around the greens, one of the most important pieces to the puzzle is the ability to recognize the areas where you are confident and skilled as well as the areas that need improving. Dave Pelz (a leading shortgame coach who works with various tour pros) has developed a system to identify these strong and weak aspects of the shortgame. It is a fairly simple test where you hit 10 shots from various locations around the green. See below for the scorecard and assessment of your “short game handicap”.

Use this system as a starting point to identify the best and worst parts of your short game. From there, you will know exactly what needs work and what simply needs to be maintained. As a final note, make sure that you don’t neglect the parts of the game in which you are confident. One of the biggest mistakes a player can make is to spend a lot of time on their weaknesses and let their strengths fall by the wayside. Maintain your strengths, improve your weaknesses.
