The Players Coach Toolkit
Performance Yard Card
Your affirmations, one performance cue and your motto on a card that lives in your yardage book.
Fill it out once, update it as you grow, and keep it with your yardage book and pin sheet every tournament round.
Benefits of the Yard Card
- Creates relaxation, confidence and mental clarity.
- Gives you a performance cue to use under pressure.
- A daily reminder of a positive mindset on the golf course.
How to build it
- Write in the 3 affirmation statements you find most valuable. Pick your favorite, most impactful ones.
- Write 1 performance cue that gives you the best opportunity to hit a quality golf shot. Only one swing thought, such as "Tempo" or "Feel my arms falling to the inside on the downswing."
- Write your motto. At Ohio State our strength coach would say "Let's put some money in the bank today!" so our motto was "Money in the bank." It does not matter what it is, but it has to be personal to you.
- Add your Confidence Resume: your best shot with each club, with the hole, course, weather, yardage and result.
- Make it as personal as possible, then keep it in your yardage book with your pin sheet during tournament rounds.
Under pressure you do not rise to the occasion, you fall back on what you have prepared. Your yard card is that preparation in your pocket.
