  • Custom Fitting Golf Clubs
    By: Philip Fox | - Question: Do you believe that golf club design technology is advancing at such a rapid rate that one or two year old models are already obsolete? How about five or ten year old models? The major club manufacturers want you to believe it's true.

To me, when that ball ends up tucked under the rim of a sand trap, or right up behind a tree trunk, I am provided with an opportunity to be creative; I relish the opportunity to try something new on the golf course and then just watch what "pops out".

Now I know this goes against a lot of what I've been saying, but I'm talking here about the thin end of fear - nervousness. For many people, nervousness is the buzz of competition, whether we're competing with other people, ourselves or the golf course we happen to be playing.

    For many people the buzz is part of the enjoyment. Perhaps that's what Mark Twain was referring to when he wrote that "Golf is ...

  • Utilise The Fear In Your Golf Mind To Hit More Greens And Fairways
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - How can golf psychology help you in overcoming the fear you have about hitting a bad shot on the golf course? Many people interpret this as classic fear of someone suffering from the putting yips who's about to putt or the person suffering form the shanks and about to hit a short iron.

Perhaps your ball seems inexorably drawn to those trees on the right or that ...

As Henry Ford said "If you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right".

  • Keeping Your Confidence High Whilst Learning To Play Golf - Part 1
    By: Roseanna Leaton | - Learning a new skill in life can seem very daunting no matter what that skill is. Golf can seem very complicated, and any budding golfer can suffer from information overload. It is so easy to get tied up in knots thinking about grip, stance and alignment, setup and ball position, tempo and balance, and so on. The club can begin to feel like an octopus in your hands...and it's far too easy to not be able to see the wood for the trees; so let us just examine the basics of the game.

    By: Roseanna Leaton | - NINETY percent of golf is in the mind. If you feel confident when you swing the club, the ball is much more likely to respond as desired. If you choose an EXACT target for your shot, the ball is much more likely to travel in that direction. If you visualize the trajectory of your shot, again the ball is much more likely to fly in a similar way, and so on.


    On the flip side, if you don't choose an exact target, how can your mind direct your body to swing the golf club so the ...

The golfer's fears can relate to what other people think, or a lack of belief in your own golfing ability. Some of us find that the putter or the wedge takes on the feel of a snake or an octopus in our hands. Some of us freeze; some sweat and some move m ...

    You don't need golf instruction sessions to learn to drive the ball long and straight. But you do need to make a good shoulder turn. It creates the torque needed to strike the ball solidly. Good ballstriking helps lower your scores and trim your golf handicap. Unfortunately, not everyone makes a good turn. Some fear they'll mis-hit the ball if the turn too far. Others are unaware of the importance of a good turn. And some can't turn beca ...

    To hit the best shot we can we have to be totally focused on executing the shot at hand. By that I mean that we are totally focused on (1) our target and (2) the swing we want to make to propel the ball to that target.

    Jack Nicklaus famously said, "my ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset."
