Zone

1. A designated area or section of a golf course, such as the driving range zone, practice putting zone, or specific playing areas marked by course design. 2. A mental state of peak performance where golfers experience heightened focus, confidence, and optimal execution of shots. Being 'in the zone' describes when everything feels effortless and shots are executed with precision and flow. Sports psychologists often work with golfers to help them access this optimal performance state more consistently during competitive rounds.
