Mental Training For Golf
How many of you implement mental training for your golf improvement program?
I know most of you realize the importance of focus and concentration, but what
type of training program do you do to improve this aspect of your game?
So many times we see the pros and many, many times we experience mental blow-ups
right on the course! What a crappy feeling that is! Playing great and then all
of a sudden your game goes south quicker than you can blink!
Mental Golf Tips
As golfers, we are "tip junkies". Can't get enough of them...and always
want more. This holds true for a mental golf tip.
All it takes is a simple input in your brain you connect with and it can
make a HUGE difference in your performance!
There are dozens of golf books focusing completely on the mental aspect
of golf. These books all have slightly different approaches to golf, but
each has valuable tips you can apply immediately.
Training Your Mind
We all know as golfers, our minds can make or break our outcome! It's no secret
that "blowing up" during a round is a common, very painful occurrence for most of
us amatuer golfers.
Why not train your mind, just like I want you to train your body? Really focus
on the "now" during a round of golf and even practice. Training your mind specific
to your desired outcome in golf can't hurt!
Mental Focus
When you focus on EVERY shot you succeed right? Maybe not 100% of the time,
but much more than if you didn't stay in the moment. Focus
for golf is critical! Lose focus and kiss your score good-bye! Maintain
focus and dominate your playing partners!
Haven't you ever heard a golfer talking to himself out loud? "You dummy...why did
you hit that shot?" "I suck!" Do these sound familiar? Have you said them
to yourself...or better yet out load? I know I'm guilty!
How about when you experience
a blow up hole? How do you handle it? Can you "get back on the horse" and
shake it? Or do you carry it with you as excess baggage the rest of the round?
