On Course Priorities

This month is about setting the tone - not just for how you play, but for how you prepare, recover, and carry yourself on the course. You're not chasing perfection - you're learning how to approach each round with intention.

Use this space to focus on what matters most as you begin your journey: rhythm, routine, and mindset.

  • How do I want to feel stepping onto the tee?
  • What will help me stay in the rhythm?
  • What part of my game will I focus on most?
  • One thing I will add to my game or routine?

A steady mindset builds strong foundations.

Reset Ritual

Mistakes happen. Frustration builds. But you don't have to carry it to the next shot. This is your moment to regroup and create your reset strategy. Think about what brings you back to centre?

  • When my round starts slipping, I tend to feel:
  • My reset cue will be:
  • A phrase I will return to is:
  • What I want to remember in that moment is:

The reset is where the round can turn.

Before you buy

Answered by Jacquie Smith, founder

Where do I start?
Start with the bundle. If you're choosing one, start with Play With Purpose.
Is it for my level?
Any level. I started golf at 60 as a complete beginner, and built these for exactly that person.
Buying it as a gift?
Each journal comes in a calico gift bag. Unopened journals can be exchanged within 14 days of delivery.
When do I write?
A few minutes before the round and after it. On the course you carry the reset you wrote, rather than stopping to write.
How much time does it take?
Five minutes before a round and ten after it, plus one longer session a week, 30 to 60 minutes, off the course, to set your intentions for the rounds ahead.

Built for the round in front of you.

On the first tee I found the same nerves I'd spent decades helping clients work through. I didn't build this as a golf brand. I built it as the tool I needed.

In Their Words

What players and professionals say.

Golf is a tough game. Even if your swing is in a great place, if your mind isn't, it's hard to perform consistently.

Claudia Lim
PGA Professional

I had a rough start in competition and realised I didn't know how to pull myself out of it. That's exactly when you need something like this.

Alison S.
Wentworth Falls CC

A genuinely practical bridge between knowing and doing. A resource with real, lasting value.

Rusty Cage
Golf Uncharted

They keep me focused and help me recognise progress. They keep my motivation high.

Lauren H.
University Park, Florida

It is not about being the best golfer out there or hitting the biggest shot but the best you can be on the day.

Kait Davis
Albury NSW

I didn't let those challenging shots spiral me into that all too familiar feeling of frustration.

Kate W.
Wentworth Falls CC

I look forward to messaging you to brag about my handicap coming down - thanks to you.
