The Players Coach Toolkit
Mental Game Scorecard
Score your process, not your result. Four checks on every hole for a Process Score out of 72.
Use it during every round, practice round or tournament. Then bring the Process Score into your Post Round Review.
Why score your process
- You control your process. You do not always control where the ball goes.
- Following the best steps in your shot routine increases your chance of executing each shot well.
- A Process Score next to your golf score shows if a bad day came from your mind or your mechanics.
The 4 checks on every hole
- Committed: I was fully committed to the shot.
- Pre-shot routine: I went through and executed each step in my pre-shot routine.
- Post-shot review: I checked my commitment, then treated the shot as Great, Acceptable, or a Learning experience.
- Move on: I put the club away and took my mind off golf until the next shot.
- Rate only your routine and commitment, not where the ball went. Do not grade tap-in putts under 2 feet. Four points per hole, 72 possible.
Tour players judge a round by how well they stayed in their process. Get your Process Score up and your golf score follows.

This exercise trains you to focus on the process, not the result. After each hole, give yourself one point for each process goal you kept on every shot. Rate only your routine and your commitment, not where the ball went. Do not grade tap-in putts under 2 feet. Four points per hole, 72 for the round.
- 1. Committed. I was fully committed to the shot.
- 2. Routine. I went through and executed each step in my pre-shot routine.
- 3. Post-Shot. Post-shot review: I checked my commitment, then treated the shot as Great, Acceptable, or a Learning experience.
- 4. Move On. Move on: I put the club away and took my mind off golf until the next shot.
