Staying Fit For Golf In The Spring By: Roseanna Leaton | - I just glanced at a fun golf poll out of sheer curiosity and was absolutely horrified at the answers. I got sent a link to new girls golf online magazine, GottaGoGolf, and got hooked by the following question: -
What's your plan to be ready to tee off in 2011? (Ok so now it is 2012.)
Now, there are a whole load of possible answers to this one, and some of us are keener golfers than others, which also affects the way in which we might respond. The choice ... Tags:Golf mind, mental golf, mental golf game, hypnosis, golf hyp
What Makes Golferaid The Best Golf Drink? By: Travis Belfon | - Health and energy drinks have been around for some time now. It is not uncommon to see a student chugging an energy drink during finals week or a health nut drinking one before working out. Health and energy drinks are certainly not magic potions that bring positive results, but they often can be nutritional. Most energy drinks contain stimulants that make the body and brain work more effectively.
Health and energy drinks help students cram for exams and people work out, so how doe ... Tags:golf mental, golf drink
One Bad Shot And Cannot Stop Thinking About It By: Roseanna Leaton | - A golfer told me the other day that his problem was that as soon as he hits one bad shot he finds that he just can't stop thinking about it. It then ruins his entire round. There are a lot of golfers who will identify with this feeling and share a similar reaction. I can't help wondering why golfers let this sort of thing happen?
The three occasions you are most likely to get nervous are:
Over a crucial shot.
Playing the last 4 or 5 holes of a good round.
Before an important round.
The symptoms of nerves are different for you than they are for me and to anyone else, they affect us all slightly differently, but they won't be too different.
Best Way To Set Up To The Ball In Golf By: Roseanna Leaton | - How many times have you seen someone hit a shot in the wrong direction only to realize afterwards that they had in fact been aiming right where the ball went? You might also have noticed that a golfers weight distribution at set up bears a significant impact upon the shot that they subsequently produce, be it good or bad. These are such easy things to fix so why do golfers get them wrong time and again?
Make Strengths Learned In Other Sports Benefit Your Golf By: Roseanna Leaton | - Many people who have played other sports at a high level end up playing golf as well. Golf is an attractive sport to many people and it is interesting to observe how sports people incorporate aspects of their primary sport into their game of golf.

Stages Involved In Learning To Play Golf Well By: Roseanna Leaton | - Golf is a challenging game to learn. There are few golfers who do not find themselves both surprised and a little frustrated by its complexities.
One's first thought is that it really should not be too difficult to play golf. You are after all simply aiming to hit a ball with an appropriate implement and direct that ball along a fairway. And eventually you have to get it into a hole, again using an appropriate club.
Six Golden Rules Of Golf For Everybody By: Bruce Baird | - The endless pursuit of the golfing experience has probably caused more anguish and joy than any other sport in which we participate. Some golfers seek outer guidance for their experience and others blame forces outside of themselves.To those who consider golf as a spiritual journey, we offer up these six commandments as a guide along your personal golfing path.
1. Golf teaches success and failure-neither last very long.
How To Putt With Confidence By: Roseanna Leaton | - Putting with confidence tends to be a transient commodity in the life of a golfer. You go out one day and your putting just feels right, you see the line almost as if somebody has painted it on the green for you and you just know instinctively how to stroke the putt so as to achieve the perfect distance. On those days, you feel so confident in your putting it's as if you own the greens. You just keep hearing that great rattle of the ball falling over the edge right into the centre of the cup. ...

What Is Your Golf Thermostat? And How Do You Have It Set? By: Paul D'Arcy | - To keep the temperature in your house or workplace at a comfortable level you will most likely have a thermostatic controller. You'll set the temperature dial so the heating comes on when it gets too cold and the A/C will kick in when it gets too hot.
To do this, the system is switched on and off by a thermostat switch, so when the temperature passes the level you have set it switches over to make sure you stay in the zone you have decided to set for yourself.
Travelled on a plane for a golf holiday, maybe to Spain, The Algarve or the USA, the flight crew unfailingly go through the exact same checks before every take-off.
And if you are like me, you'll be glad they do! It always gives you a sense of comfort and confidence.
You like me, and most club players will sooner or later have a good old fashioned moan and gripe about a player shooting a score much better than their handicap "says" they should score.
In fact
We have all seen or even been part of some angry discussions about the credibility, integrity and even the parentage of anyone who scores better than they should.
Release Your Golfing Tigress By Understanding Your Golf Mind By: Roseanna Leaton | - You can spend hours and hours working away on the range, but what matters is how you play when you are on the course. We all know this and bemoan this undeniable fact of the world of golf. Any keen golfer knows the difference between range play and golf play.
The keener you are the more you practice and the more you play. I played golf yesterday with a couple of ladies who passed comments which I am sure you too have heard.
Your Attitude Determines Your Golf Game By: Roseanna Leaton | - Darren Clarke has just won the British Open 2011, his first Major in over 20 years of playing professional golf at pretty much the top level of the game. Darren felt that he was in a good place at the beginning of the week and he displayed the impact of his attitude in the way he mastered the elements at Royal St Georges.

Mental Pressure Changes From One Round Of Golf To The Next By: Roseanna Leaton | - The build up to an Open tournament is always exciting for golfing enthusiasts. We leaf through all of the magazine articles, watch the golf channel and listen to every interview. We avidly discuss who's going to be up there with anyone who will talk golf.
The big question during the couple of weeks prior to the British Open (in the UK at least) was whether Rory McIlroy would manage to win a second Major in quick succession. And so we all watched with bated breath as Rory teed off on ... Tags:Mental golf, mental pressure in golf, cope with mental pressur
Winning Golf The Rory Mcilroy Way By: Roseanna Leaton | - Golfers have been avidly following the career of Rory McIlroy over the last few months, if not years. His first three days of play at the Masters 2011 showed us exactly what he could do, although the final day's play also aptly demonstrated how easily ones golfing game can take a swift turn for the worse.
The same thing happened to Rory more than once, but he showed us what he's got in glorious form during the US Open this year. Most club golfers can relate to this pheno ... Tags:Winning golf, mental golf, tournament pressure, golf mind
Golf Mind Tips For Approach Shot Accuracy By: Roseanna Leaton | - How do you prepare mentally to give yourself the best chance of making an accurate approach shot? Sometimes that shot is going to be from close range; at other times it will be from a longer distance away. Sometimes the pin will be accessible whilst at other times it will be well protected.
Some greens are small, as at Pebble Beach, but they may also be enormous. The greens themselves differ in both gradient and speed. Weather conditions also affect your choice of play. Whethe ... Tags:Golf mind tips, golf mind, mental golf, approach shot accuracy
Cosmetic Surgery For Your Golf Mind By: Roseanna Leaton | - What does cosmetic surgery and golf have in common? This may seem to be a strange question because at first these two things are so totally different. But there are aspects of golf mentality which align with the emotional links to cosmetic surgery.
If you look at why people seek cosmetic surgery it is because they want to look better. This is the obvious reason. But underlying that, they would like to feel more accepted, attractive and confident. These are the real reasons why ... Tags:Golf confidence, golf hypnosis, golf swing, golf, mental golf
The right golf psychology is critical to winning under pressure. Golf writer Peter Dobereiner's saying "Half of golf is fun; the other half is putting" cannot be more true. That's because for most golfers, the higher the stakes, the more difficult the short putt. It's simple to make a short putt when the outcome doesn't mean anything. But that exact putt is tougher when it's worth even just one dollar. It's ...

Golf Mind Skills For Tournament Play By: Roseanna Leaton | - I am an avid golfer, but I'm not actually a very competitive person by nature and so have not got a temperament naturally suited to pushing forwards in tournaments and playing golf with a primary goal of winning. I'm naturally more comfortable being part of a team or being second in line. That's just me and I am sure there are many other golfers who share this temperament.

Visualise Your Golf Shots And Mental Golf Practice In 3d For Better Golf Hypnosis By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Effective visualisation is one of the key golf psychology tools for improving your golf score and your enjoyment of the game. It's also one of the secrets of hypnotic golf. However, for most people, including me until recently, that visualisation tends to be two dimensional, a bit like looking through the viewfinder of a camera or at a picture on a television screen. Yes, I know that I could imagine some depth perspective, but what if I couldn't actually see the bottom of the pin over that high ...

Golf Tip: How To Use Psychology To Improve By: Max Johnson | - Many amateurs do not fully utilize a golf psychology tip to help them shoot lower scores. Professionals are much better at monitoring their bodies and emotions.

The regular folk like us do not have this luxury however, there are some things that we can monitor and do to help us relax if we get tense on the golf course:

Technically Perfect Golf Does Not Always Win Over Good Mental Golf By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Have you noticed that the winners on the professional golf tours around the world aren't always technically or statistically the best players.

Sand Traps And How To Escape Them By: Roseanna Leaton | - How many times have you stood on the tee or in the fairway and thought to yourself "stay out of that sand"? And then you settle in to take the shot, make contact with the ball, and you know immediately, instinctively that your ball is flying like an arrow towards that trap? It seems so unfair that you make all that effort, only to by stymied by a pile of beautifully raked sand! It's as if the ball is being pulled by a great big powerful magnet directly to the place that you did not want it to ... Tags:Golf hypnosis, golf mind training, mental golf, golf, hypnos
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.
