How did golf icon Jack Nicklaus approach a golf course he hadn’t designed or played before? 

He walked the course backward, consultant Vicky Merrill told the Pacific-West Fastener Association.

“Play with the end in mind. Know where you are or where you are going or you will just drift.”

Speaking at the Pac-West autumn conference in Vancouver, Canada, Merrill, of Dsamih Consulting LLC, emphasized the Pareto Principle: “Concentrate on the important few; Ignore, delegate or delay the trivial many; and have the wisdom to know the difference.”
