nicole.
absolutely.

If my goal( this is known as an overall goal ) was to become the worlds greatest short game player , i would have to first set myself some smaller goals ( these are known as immediate goals ), learning to chip, pitch, play from bunkers and putt and then to practice them and by doing so i am striving to reach my overall goal.

Since reading Dr Bob's book i have carried this phylosophy over so that i have a goal in every aspect of my life.
