How to use the journals
The journals are tools, not exercises. Designed to be used in a few minutes, against the rhythm of a round you were going to play anyway. Here's the practice, in three steps.
Each week · 30–60 minutes
Set aside time each week to work through the journal. Set your intention, plan your practice and decide what matters most. This is the deeper work, done off the course, where the mental game is really built.
This one habit changes everything.
Before the round · 5 minutes
Before you tee off, review what you want to carry with you — your reset cues, your focus, how you want to show up today. Not the score you want, the mindset you'll take to the first tee.
You're not tracking results. You're building awareness.
After the round · 10 minutes
Spend ten minutes before you put the clubs away. What went well mentally? Where did you lose yourself? What will you carry into the next round?
Each journal carries 24 rounds — up to 24 weeks of golf, depending on how often you play. That's months of proof you're growing, even when the scorecard doesn't show it yet.
As Robert Collier said, “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”
Common questions
Start with Play With Purpose. It builds your mindset foundation — helping you set intentions, understand your patterns and show up with purpose before you even reach the first tee.
Play The Next Shot is your on-course companion. Once you're comfortable with the foundation work, you'll use it to reset in the moment, recover from bad holes and stay present through your round.
If you've bought the bundle, don't feel like you need to use both at once. Start with Play With Purpose, pick it up before your next round, and you can begin with the round review section straight away. Go back to the earlier sections as you have time.
There's no right or wrong way. It's your journey.
The bundle is how most people begin: preparation and reflection together, sold for less than each on its own.
