THE

What we need to do first of all though, is such a
vital part of this process but is almost never included in the standard goal
setting and achievement processes.
If we go back to the analogy of the sat nav and
consider how the machinery actually works; the whole sat nav system is
dependent on one piece of information.
Not the location, not the route, not the motorway,
but the one thing we need to start the whole process, is a real clear and
accurate PRESENT LOCATION. We
cannot even start the engine and move unless we know EXACTLY where we
are now. The sat nav just will not work
unless it knows its CURRENT POSITION, then and only then, can it begin
to calculate how to create a route to the required destination.
In just the same way for you to begin your journey,
to where you want to go, you know you have to have an honest and clear look at
where you are right now.
What you need to create is possibly the most
important piece of writing that you have done in the past 10 years.
You need to create what we will call THE NOW
DOCUMENT:

Write out in sensory, rich detail a complete
description of you NOW:
- What is your golf game currently about?
- What are the good patterns?
- What are the patterns which are getting in the way?
- How are your relationships impacting your golf and your life?
- What do you like about yourself?
- What do you dislike?
- Who are the people that have had the biggest impact on you?
- Who do you admire?
- Who would you like to be more like?
I want you to take a blank piece of paper and do
this now. Let the pen really flow, be
honest and open and get down on paper the good and the bad. Just let it all out.
This exercise should take you quite a while, so
really give yourself some quiet time to let all of your thoughts flow out of
you.
