The Four C\u2019s of Execution<\/em><\/p>\n

by Michael Riggs<\/p>\n

This is where the rubber meets the road\u2026 or, more accurately, where your club face meets the ball.<\/p>\n

When you are able to execute a shot properly, in most cases it is because you were at a high level of the Four C\u2019s of Execution — commitment, confidence, concentration, and composure \u2013 before and during the shot. When you hit an errant shot, this is usually an indication that there was a breakdown with one, or more, of the Four C\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Hitting a golf shot is a process, not an end result.\u00a0 In other words, if you do the right things you are more likely to hit fairways, greens, and make putts. What are these \u201cright things\u201d?\u00a0 While it differs from player to player, the right things suggest a balanced and smooth swing where the club face impacts the ball squarely. You and your swing coach need to determine and perfect your correct swing. Your swing must be based upon correct mechanics, yet custom your body. You must be able to repeat your correct swing, under pressure, and you need to be able to believe it will get the job done.\u00a0 These are the \u201cright things\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s talk about successful execution and The Four C\u2019s:<\/p>\n

The first is Commitment<\/em> to your swing. This is believing in it and sticking with it over the long haul. Too many players really don\u2019t believe in their swing \u2013 they aren\u2019t committed to it \u2013 and can be found continuously tinkering with it.<\/p>\n

Second is having the Confidence<\/em> in your ability<\/em> to prodcue your swing — and to truly feel it — time after time after time.<\/p>\n

Concentration<\/em> is the third C. This is your ability to stay focused on the feel \u2013 not the mechanics — of your swing from take away through to finish.<\/p>\n

The final C, Composure<\/em>, is your ability to remain relaxed and calm throughout your swing.\u00a0 If you cannot be at ease \u2013 especially at impact \u2013 you are not likely to execute your shot.<\/p>\n

The best players in the world know the Four C\u2019s of Execution very well. They work hard to be sure they are at a high level of the Four C\u2019s on every shot. It is when they are able to maintain a high level of the Four C\u2019s, they are most likely to hit great shots and have great rounds.<\/p>\n

S\u00b2 Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Complete a \u2018C\u2019 Check after each and every shot on the course. Start to notice where your mind is breaking down. Which C is the weak link?<\/p>\n

Success Story<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations to amateur player Emery Felton for breaking 80! Your commitment to your dream is admirable! Now, let\u2019s go for 75.<\/p>\n

In Another\u2019s Words\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWhen I have fully decided that a result is worth getting, I go ahead of it and make trial after trial until it comes.\u201d<\/p>\n
