How To Play Golf In The Present

By Chad Jones

When the best golfers in the world are competing at their highest level of play, they often utilize two strategies called the “Think Box” and the “Play Box.” The Think Box is the place that is approximately three yards behind the ball where a golfer stands to begin their pre-shot routine. It is important to decide in the Think Box which club to use, the desired ball flight pattern, lining up your target, and the wind variable, etc.

Next, the golfer will cross the “Decision Line” and step into the “Play Box”. This is where there should be no other thoughts other than to aim, address the ball, and execute the golf shot. The main goal for all golfers is to never allow oneself to THINK IN THE PLAY BOX. The next time you tee it up, challenge yourself to play an entire round of golf using the Think Box and the Play Box. This will help your golf game tremendously and lead to lower scores.
