Sample Page 1 – The Player's Mental Golf DISC Style Every DISC Style has potential strengths and weaknesses.  A key principle from the DISC methodology is that a strength overdone can turn into a weakness.  Below are strengths and weaknesses based on a the sample player's (David's) DISC style.

Competitive and Reasonable "David can be quite intense in his desire to succeed and can be hard on himself when his play doesn't meet his standards." Focused and Determined "David is usually quite focused and determined over the ball and wants to concentrate on the task at hand."

Sample Page 2 –   Using the Strengths of Both Sides of the Your Mental Style  This strategy might take more thought than some of the others, so take your time. Your mental golf style is a unique combination of action-oriented and analytical traits.  These contrasting traits can work together in your favor or they can conflict with each other if not managed properly. Jack Nicklaus masterfully blended DOMINANCE and CONSCIENTIOUS traits, and while you might not reach Jack's level of mental mastery, you can learn to use this temperament style to your advantage.  Read below to see how one golf professional approached this challenge - David is an instructor and master club fitter at The Sea Island Learning Center and has the same temperament style that you have.  Craig felt he was not playing anywhere near his potential prior to receiving his profile.  Once he understood how his DOMINANCE and CONSCIENTIOUS traits have a tendency to "compete" with each other, David came up with this solution - "I visualize my CONSCIENTIOUS traits as being my analytical/methodical thinker and my DOMINANCE traits as being my action oriented athlete." "For areas best suited for analytical thought like working on my mechanics on the practice tee or making strategy and shot selection choices, I put my thinker to work and let my athlete rest." "When playing shots on the course, I want to be action oriented and not overloaded with mechanical thoughts, so I put my athlete to work and let my thinker rest.  In the past, my action oriented traits and analytical traits tended to compete with each other so I felt like I mentally had one foot on the gas and one on the brake with my golf game.  My profile explained why I felt this way." David's game has improved and he feels far more relaxed when he's playing since adopting this strategy.   Describe how you can apply this unique strategy to your game.

 

Sample Page 3 –   The Player's Golf Temperament Tendencies David's Mental Golf Tendencies The following five pages describe your mental tendencies for these areas of the game - Gold Temperament Pre-Round Preparation Thought Processes Over the Ball Course Management Working With Instructors Golf Fitness As you review your report, please highlight and make notes on key points that have a significant impact on your game.  Be sure to note your strengths mentioned throughout the report. Golf Temperament Tendencies Think in terms of playing with positive energy throughout the round. David’s competitive nature significantly impacts his core golf temperament. He likes competing against other players, the course and his own expectations. His determination works in his favor except when he tries too hard and puts too much pressure on himself. This results in excessive mental and physical tension that hurts his performance. Deep breathing and other relaxation techniques can help him manage his mental and physical tension. David is results oriented and when he doesn't’ produce up to his expectations, he might be rather quick to anger. When anger gets the best of him, it affects his concentration, physical skills, and course management judgment. At other times, David takes a more productive path in dealing with frustration and by giving himself a “get with the program” mental pep talk to clear his mind and get his game back on track. Make notes on key points that have a positive impact on your game.
