GOLF PSYCHOLOGY is not just about managing your mind it is also about having a common sense approach to the game. That is why golf psychology is becoming a very important topic these days. This is what the mental game is all about.
Golf
Golf happens in the mind, and it’s not just a matter of good or bad thoughts, because there is a crucial time period in every shot when ANY thought will ruin your game. Golf is about managing your mind and your expectations. When a professional golfer is under pressure, the last thing he can afford is a shred of doubt in his mind. Doubt ruins the golf shot because doubt is a conscious thought and ANY conscious thought good or bad is your enemy when it comes to movement, or the swing portion of the golf shot.
Tiger Woods is a perfect example of the importance of the mind in golf. He has the ability to not think of anything during the swing. Unconscious sabotage (in golf psychology), is caused by the mind sending negative ‘signals’ for the body to follow during the swing on particular shots. Your own unique brand of golf psychology will permit you to gain a clear path between your unconscious mind and your physical game.
Training
Listening to “Motivational and training material” EVERYDAY is one of the ways to improve your golf psychology. The reason you don’t hear many successful golfers talk about their mental training is because they know how powerful it is. The main thing to know is that mental training and golf psychology is a secret weapon which can transform your results very quickly, and overcome problems which you may have been experiencing for years.
Online
Online golf instruction is becoming a popular search for the new golf enthusiasts who may not be interested in much more than improving their game. Of course, with the plethora of e books and online texts out there that claim to teach you the various methods involved, no doubt you’re a little overwhelmed. There are a wide variety of golf guides online and there should be no difficulty finding one, however, you need one to include the finer points of golf psychology.
Conclusion
Golf psychology is the mental aspect to golf which most players overlook in their quest to improve. For me, golf is about being prepared and ready on the course and automatically doing the right things using the power of your unconscious.
