Card 21 of 41
There's no target score: be the casino
Play the odds, not a number.
Why
Stepping onto the hole (or the round) with a number in your head — 'today I break 90' — makes you results-obsessed and pushes you to gamble when you shouldn't. Your score is just a lagging result of your habits; as James Clear puts it, 'your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits'. In golf, be the casino, not the gambler: the house doesn't bet on a number, it plays the odds over and over and wins in the long run.
