Are you mentally fit to play golf?

 

Where focus goes, energy will flow.

 

Most golfers are impairing their golf psychology.  They are literally killing their own mental toughness on the golf course, and most golfers do not even realize this!  They look forward to playing but will suddenly lose their swing, or their confidence or consistency and yet they will have no idea why.

 

The mind is the most menacing opponent a golfer confronts, so mastering the game of mental golf is essential.  The mind can be a golfer’s best friend, helping to develop the mechanics of a smooth, reliable swing and devising clever strategies for moving the ball efficiently from the tee to the cup.  But the mind also produces anxiety and tension, which can tighten the muscles and destroy concentration.  Suddenly the technically proficient golfer is slicing the ball and choking on a short putt.  Trying harder only seems to make things worse.  At that point, the mind is the enemy, and the only way to overcome its powers of self-sabotage is through applying the principles of mental golf- principles that will change the messages you are sending to yourself as you evaluate your performance.  Instead of focusing on the negative, the way the shot went wrong- you need to emphasize on what went right.  When a golfer hits a poor shot, they’re going to tell you all the bad things they did wrong regarding their swing/putt instead of focusing on what went right. 

Practicing deep breathing in times of stress can dissolve tension while playing the game of golf.  The only tension you want is what is needed to maintain and hold onto your club.  Anything beyond that needs to be eliminated as it will interfere with your performance.  The most important part of the mental game is awareness.

Golf is probably the most mental game there is.  The demands placed upon your mind are tremendous, so are you mentally and emotionally fit for golf?

 

No matter what level you are at with your golf, your mind set is an ultra-important part of your golf game.  Your mind set will dictate your ability to learn to play golf.  As with anything in life, a holistic approach is what is needed.  There is no point in honing in on great golf techniques if your golf mind is not being honed as well.  The right golf mind training helps you learn more quickly, retain and use more of what you learn and you are able to perform at higher levels.  Your muscles in your golfing mind train up in the same way your physical muscles do- with repetition.  It is therefore important to ensure that you are mentally rehearsing a strong and powerful golf mind.  Whatever mental images and thoughts you are repeating, you are strengthening.  Again, WHATEVER MENTAL IMAGES AND THOUGHTS YOU ARE REPEATING, YOU ARE STRENTHENING.  It is easy to train up your golf mind, so let’s see how you have been thinking.
