Personality Assessment

The keys to the GolfPsych method are the Eight Traits of Champion Golfers. Their extensive research on the three major tours identified the eight personality traits that differentiated the regular winners from those who struggled.

These eight traits are:

• Ability to narrow your focus
• Self Confidence
• Dominance
• Self-sufficiency
• Emotional Stability
• Managing Tension Levels
• Abstract Thinking
• Tough Minded

How a you score on these 8 traits will help you understand why you have certain mental game tendencies on the golf course. Your scores are gathered through the use of a comprehensive questionnaire called the Game Book Pro. To take this assessment contact John and he will furnish you with an access code. The code makes it possible for the results from your assessment to be sent to you and to John so he can fully understand where you need to focus your instructional time.

Mental Skills Assessment

The other valuable tool GolfPsych and John utilize is a mental skills assessment that rates your abilities in eight key mental skills. This inventory of strengths and weaknesses will give you a blue print for improvement.

The Key Mental Skills are:

• Focus and Mental Pre-Shot Routine
• Calculations and Commitment
• Emotional Management
• Course Management and Game Plan
• Tough-Minded
• Confidence
• Independent Decision Making
• Tension Management
