Focus

"The only thing a player can control at golf is his own game; so concern about what other competitors may or may not be doing is both a useless distraction and a waste of energy."

-Jack Nicklaus

2003 Buckeye seniors on FOCUS:

• Focus is when your mental attention is centered on what you need to do. Nothing else can get into your head.



• Focus is when someone can resist temptation in the present to further pursue a goal in the future.



• Focus means concentrating on your responsibility.



• Focus means total concentration. Committing to something and staying with it until it is done and done right. Never giving up.



• Focus is the ability to concentrate on something by ignoring outside, important forces that can interfere with the task at hand. Taking advantage of all opportunities that facilitate the task and increase the chance of success.



• Focus is disciplined and zeroed in on the goal and only the goal.
