In golf, there's a saying that the game is 90% mental. But how often do we really train our mental game? I've discovered that my approach to golf instruction, which encompasses the mental aspects of the sport, has been transformative not only for my students but also for myself.
One of the most impactful changes a player can make is altering their internal dialogue. Your mindset can make or break your game. For me, this has meant embracing the power of manifestation and the law of attraction. This perspective has made a world of difference in my golf game, whether I’m making swing adjustments or competing on the course.
When I work on my game, I talk to myself as if the desired outcome has already occurred. This positive internal conversation builds confidence and sets the stage for success. By speaking in the affirmative and focusing on what I want to achieve, I pave the way for better performance.
My holistic approach to golf instruction emphasizes the mental aspect as much as the physical. Positivity never hurts, and it can be a game-changer when it comes to achieving your goals on the green. So, let’s train our minds and watch our golf game flourish!
As your chipping skills get sharper, the pressure on your approach shots will decrease. You’ll be more at ease knowing that even if you don’t hit the perfect shot, you can rely on your chipping to get you out of trouble.
Finally, as your iron play improves, you won’t feel as much pressure on your tee shots because you trust your ability to execute precise approaches. It’s a domino effect of confidence.(hint hint.. Mental Game! ! ! )
So, take it from me: start at the hole and work backwards. Trust in the process and watch your scores drop!
