The Mental Game Tiger Woods and Anthony Robbins as well as Jack Nicklaus know "Golf is 90% Mental" "Golf is 90% Mental" - Jack Nicklaus Most golfer spend a small fortune on their equipment putting their faith in the newest technology. But how much focus is spent on YOUR MENTAL GOLF GAME? Tiger Wood is probably more in control of his mental game than most of his competitors. There is probably more harmony in the positive outcome wish impulse before he releases his swing or put. His follow-thru is probably more affirmative and expecting than the rest of his competitors. Yet I'm sure he does not compare himself with them. It is his own mental game that is in play. Thru positive affirmations backed by learned positive experiences, Tiger has been able to direct his focus remembering the best vectors and applying them to the situation at hand with a greater frequency than most anyone in the game. He has the right mind set and visualization power to execute successfully. Because he does it more frequently, others summarize that he has greater control and harmony of his non conscious thoughts. Positive visualizations is the talking points of Anthony Robbins and countless professional self-improvement coaches. “Much of anyone’s game is played (or should be played) in the short six-inch course between the ears,” said Louise Suggs, winner of both the American and British Open Crowns. "We have learned more about the function of the Human Mind in the last 5 years through Science, new technology and extensive study than we have in the last century. In fact, we now know that over 85 % or about 5/6ths of who you are and what you believe is in the non-conscious or subconscious part of your brain. In an average golf game, we have over 20,000 thoughts that our brains have to process. Each thought influences or makes new neutron connections within our brain that creates or re-creates who we are, what we think, what we believe and how we perform. But what's really astounding is that over 95% of those thoughts are the same thoughts that we have over and over every day! " - Rich Douglas, golf pro. “The average individual,” says sports writer Grantland Rice, “has given almost no attention to mental control, which in golf should be an absence of conscious thinking as the stroke is played.” Psychologists call this automatic mastery a conditioned reflex. “The subconscious mind is probably the most important factor in being a good golfer. It keeps distractions on the course from ruining a good round. You should practice, develop your swing, and do most of your thinking on the practice tee so that when you play in competition, you can hit the ball automatically.” That’s what Wiffy Cox, the nationally known pro at the Congressional Golf and Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, has to say about it. “Trouble shots are surprisingly easy if you activate your imagination. You simply must be able to imagine exactly what flight the ball will take before you can play any shot well,” advises the great Walter Hagen.
The great “Slammin’ Sam” Snead writes: “First and fore-most, you must have confidence. Your second mental problem is concentration. Think the shot through in advance before you address the ball. Draw a mental image of where you want it to go and then eliminate everything else from your mind, except how you are going to get the ball into that preferred spot.” In the popular King Features syndicated newspaper column, “Mirror of Your Mind,” the question was asked of Joseph Whitney: “Can hypnosis improve your golf game?”He answered: “Properly performed, hypnosis is capable of changing mental attitudes at the conscious level. If faulty mental attitudes are responsible for a golfer’s inadequate performance, a change wrought by hypnosis could help him improve his skill.” Even after you have been over a course many times, it isn’t an easy layout to play, because most of the hazards are created by yourself. Willie Ogg, instructor at the Professional Golfers Association school in Dunedin, Florida, lecturing on “Tensions and the Psychological Freeze,” put it this way: “One touch of jitters makes all golfers kin. The ideal is reached when one has only to think of mechanical control for the mechanical action. This is a matter of inducing self-hypnosis or complete concentration.” This is the essence of self-hypnosis. Hypnosis distracts the conscious mind and allows the subconscious to function. Through self-hypnosis comes the “subconscious feel.” It is attained in the practice area as a measure for every shot. When you have this subconscious feel, then your swing becomes automatic. At Last!
