Golf Compass — Assessment
Four Shields map and golf and why it steadies your round.
Golf Compass uses the Four Shields map as a framework to improve decision-making in golf by addressing vision, body, reflection, and structure. East focuses on selecting a target and committing to a shot, emphasizing clarity but warning against overambition. South emphasizes tempo and balance for consistent contact, cautioning against excessive effort. West involves quick reflection and learning from each shot to avoid rumination. North stresses routine and discipline to maintain steady play, warning against rigidity. Each shot can involve all four shields: choosing a target (East), maintaining rhythm (South), learning from outcomes (West), and adhering to a plan (North). Missed shots often indicate a lapse in one of these areas, such as poor target selection or rushed tempo.
