Look At The Cup Hit putts from three feet out while simply looking at the cup. Three feet is no major accomplishment, but it is a starting point to help you "visualize" a target in your mind. Simply take your stance, get ready, find your balance and look at the back of the cup, then stroke the ball into the cup. You will learn to drop your mechanical swing thoughts while concentrating on the cup. Get Out Of Your Box There is no one perfect shot for every circumstance. Your shots can get there in more ways than one, and many times it is a very good idea to “get out of your box,” and open your mind to new shots you have never tried before. Avoid Disaster Rounds The disaster round of golf occurs usually when someone heads to the practice range and is trying to fix their swing before their round. This is something we all have been faced with and compelled to do from time to time, but it is bringing the wrong energy toward you. By worrying about your swing mechanics you bring fear into your game before you play. Worry and doubt are negative energies you need to avoid. Simply go to the range to warm up and get loose. Let Go Of Controlling Thoughts By letting go of pre-conceived or controlled thoughts of how a hole should play, you allow for better outcomes. If you find your ball in the bunker, your round of golf can still have tremendous wonderful results. Your ball in the bunker is merely a path to the final desired destination of par. Accept the shot and go on from there. Proper Grip Pressure When you are on the range and practicing it is very important to sense and feel all the parts of your body before, during and after the swing. As you grip the club, feel it in both hands when you place them on the club. You should be able to sense all parts of your hand while gripping the club. That grip pressure should be even throughout the hands, not one hand holding on strangling the club more than the other. It should be balanced, and on a scale of 1-10, your grip pressure should be about a three (enough to hold a baby bird in your hand and not hurt it). |

Take Your Shoes Off! Agreat way to feel what balance they have in their swing is to take their socks and shoes shoe’s off! It looks a little odd, watching someone take their golf shoes off while on the range. After you adjust to the grass and usually cooler conditions your bare feet have been subject to, take a short iron in your hand (a pitching wedge or nine iron) and we begin to work on the balance you have in their swing. As feel the ground underneath, you are bringing in new sensations you have never had before because your shoes have blocked those feelings. Concentrate on your posture and try to get to feel the majority of your weight underneath the balls of their feet. Normally most golfers have too much weight on their heels when they are in their shoes, so I am trying to get them to put a little more weight forward at address. The smaller minority has too much weight forward at address, but in either case, work at getting your weight under the balls of their feet. Drop The Clutter In Your Mind As you learn to plant the picture of your intended target in your mind, you begin to drop the clutter of thoughts you used to have with swings that had a poor picture. Just like on the putting green, you become more focused on the target and sense your body more. Find A Comfortable Posture Your body should be comfortable as you take your address. There should be no tension or pain in your lower back. If you find some, adjust your posture to lesson that tension or pain. Remember, if you feel it at address it is only going to cause you to react in your swing as you make your stroke, and generally that reaction is not the one you want, it is a reflex that happens in-voluntarily to prevent pain in your swing. Invite The Sweet Spot Into Your Swing Most golfers do not realize that thinking about something, or the sweet spot, is inviting the essence of that something into their swing. Whatever you think about is becoming an active part of you and your thoughts are drawing that nearer to you. To take this one step further, since the sweet spot is a feeling you receive when the ball is struck squarely, if you associate that thought of the sweet spot and its feel, you add more positive energy toward your desired outcome. Free Yourself From Your Outcomes Your mind may be trying to use you and as it is doing so by placing destructive thoughts or images about yourself or your game inside of you. These thoughts are like a disease and this is putting the feeling of dis-ease in you when you are playing. You must be able to be free from the outcomes of your shots when you play. Release yourself to simply watch yourself when you play and notice what is happening. Judgment is not needed here, rather just observation of what you are thinking, feeling and sensing as you move from shot to shot. |
