Have you ever lost your focus during a round, only to have it cost you a shot or more? Or, maybe you’ve had your mind go blank in the middle of a swing?

Though at times it feels as if your focus goes up in smoke, you’re actually always focused on something.

But to play solid golf, you’ve got to know how to regain, train and maintain a laser-like focus on the right parts of your game.
