- Talk Yourself Into Better Golf With Golf Hypnosis For Positive Self Talk
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Do you talk to yourself when you're playing golf? Well, if you don't, you may have a serious problem. It's called brain death! Self-talk, otherwise known as internal dialogue or intrapersonal communication, is one of the main functions of our conscious mind. It allows us to make sense of our conflicting thoughts and to express our ideas and feelings to ourselves. Most of the time we talk to ourselves internally and sometimes, particularly after a bad shot, we share our self-talk with everyone in ...

- The Bad Golf Psychology Of Listening To Negative Tv Golf Commentators
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - How much do you listen to the commentators on televised golf? Do you think they're good for your golf? Well I used to think that watching golf on TV was good golf psychology. Now I'm not so sure.
So what happened? Well after writing my recent article about talking yourself into better golf, I sat down to watch a replay of the television coverage of the World Cup from Mission Hills in China. Now I 'm always thinking very positively after completing an article, so I was amazed at how ...

- Planning Your Play Around The Course Can Save You Strokes
By: Philip Fox | - How many times have you seen a tournament player huddling with his caddy over a little notebook he pulled from his pocket before selecting the club to use for his next shot? Often, right! That is probably because it was the caddy who filled the book with notes as he walked the course behind the greens keeper who was setting up the tee box markers and placing the pins for that days play.
The caddy paced off distances to every hazard and to every pin placement, marked off the relat ...

- The Golf Psychology Of Thinking Less And Playing Better Unconscious Golf
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - I've been thinking about the application of golf psychology to the issue of the swing thought. In other words, what do you and should you be thinking about when you actually swing the club. It seems that every time I watch someone play they seem to be taking an inordinate amount of time fidgeting with their grip, their stance or their play. The more time they take to get round to swinging the club, the more likely they are to hit a bad shot. One golfer I met recently admitted to almost running b ...

- Power Play Caiman Irons - Discover The Secret
By: Glenn Ellis | -
Who says an advanced game improvement model can't look conventional? While it does feature a moderate topline, reduced offset and classic profile at address, the secret is in the sole and rear cavity mass stabilizing bar. Enhanced perimeter weighting and wider, thicker sole focuses weight where it is needed for most golfers to experience a higher ball flight, a more solid feel and with precision accuracy. Put some muscle between you and the ball and fire away in confidence.

- 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 Instruction: Five Tips To Help You Play Better Golf For Duffers
By: Wayne Hudler | - Golf is such fun on so many levels. The obvious thrill of the competition, the challenge presented by the design of the course or the excitement of chasing a new lowest score ever are just a part of the many elements of the game of golf that brings us back time and time again.
The quest for our new all time lowest score is one of those that runs deepest. We possess a strong personal belief that we are capable of better play and lower scores. This belief drives us to all manner of h ...

- Trust Your Unconscious Golf Mind To Align Your Club For A Better Pre-shot Routine
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - How much is the accuracy of your golf shot influenced by club alignment at address and how much is down to your instinctive or unconscious golf ability? Now I'm not talking here about the complexity of aligning the various parts of your body when you address the ball. That's a subject for your golf pro, not your golf psychologist. All I'm interested in here is the alignment of your club face at address.
I've been writing a lot recently about the importance, in golf psychology terms, ...

- Speed Up Your Pre-shot Routine Transition For Better Golf Psychology
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Golf instructors often talk about the transition in the golf swing as that pause between completing the backswing and starting the downswing. They often suggest that slowing down the transition is one of the most important keys to hitting a good shot.
Well, I'm not qualified to comment on the technicalities of the golf swing. However, I am qualified to comment on what for me is an even more important transition in golf psychology. It's the transition from the conscious analytical p ...

- The Golf Psychology Of Going On A Pre-shot Routine Journey With Your Right And Left Brain
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - As a golf psychologist, I am especially interested in the importance of separating the conscious and unconscious elements of the pre-shot routine and the actual striking of the ball. In an ideal world, we should use our conscious rational mind, sometimes referred to as our Left Brain, for planning our shots and our unconscious instinctive mind, or Right Brain to manage the execution of each shot. Yes, I know that there's lots of controversy in psychology circles about where these functions actua ...

- Managing Your Emotions On The Golf Course
By: Roseanna Leaton | - I am a really lucky person. I absolutely love the game of golf, and "bad shots" just don't get to me in the way that they do a lot of other golfers. 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".
I guess that I'm lucky in that the score doesn't matter to me. I'm not playing golf ...

- Play Better Golf Psychology In The Now And One Shot At A Time
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - One of the key success factors of better golf psychology is learning to unconsciously play one shot at a time - in the moment, in the zone or "in the now." And this applies equally to every shot you play on the practice ground, in a friendly game and in the most important round of your golfing life. Playing in the now means that you're protected from any poor, indifferent shots and ill-judged shots that went before. It also means that you're protected from future uncertainties and expe ...

- Focus Your Golf Mind On Your Target Not The Hazard For Better Golf Scores
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - One thing I've learned from golf psychology is how my unconscious mind automatically follows where my conscious mind leads. Have you ever noticed that if one of your playing partners warns you about a particularly difficult bunker or some hidden golf hazard on a hole, your ball seems to be mysteriously drawn to that hazard? And it doesn't matter whether they were trying to help you or to put you off. So if youre standing over the ball thinking or saying to yourself, "Don't hit it in ...

- Golf Psychology Focus On Why You Play Not How You Swing For Golf Enjoyment
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Improving your golf enjoyment has more to do with the golf psychology of addressing the reasons why you play golf at all than with addressing all the things you're trying to fix in your golf swing.
One theme that comes up a lot in my thoughts and in my writing is the idea that one of the main reasons for most people playing golf is the pursuit of enjoyment, both for ourselves and the people we play with. As a golf psychologist, this is also my primary motivation in my working life a ...

- The Fast Track To Better Golf In Your Unconscious - Slow Play Kills Your Golf Mind
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - How long did your game of golf take this weekend? Maybe 3 hours or less if you played on a traditional Scottish championship course, 5 hours if you played a fourball around a more modern country club or even more if you played in a serious open amateur event. I remember playing in a two-ball at Royal Troon, as the guest of a 70 year old friend, and getting round in 2 hours and 20 minutes and we were chased around by the Club Captain playing in a foursome. I can also remember playing in top amate ...

- Milton Erickson Learned To Walk As Tiger Woods Learns To Play Better Golf
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - I've been thinking further on my recent article about Tiger Woods apparently using an unorthodox form of anger management to help him release bad shots. The way we learn anything useful in life tends to be on the basis of trial and error. We try something new and it works - we learn from it. We try something new and it doesn't work - we learn from that too, possibly even more.
Milton Erickson, the father of modern hypnotherapy, often used the story of how he learned to walk again, a ...

- Practice In Your Mind With Hypnosis For Better Golf
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Now I'm confused about golf practice and just how much leads to better golf. More importantly, just how much is good for golf improvement? I'm confused because I keep getting contradictory advice from the books I'm reading, TV programs I'm viewing and the stuff I'm browsing on the web.
As a low handicap golfer for over 40 years, I've done a fair bit of work on the practice ground and had lots of golf lessons from lots of good coaches - some of the best in the world in their day. H ...

By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Have you noticed how much better golf you play after a good night's sleep? Well I hadn't, but a couple of articles I read recently made me think about it more closely. And yes I think that's right.
Now one of the beneficial side effects of almost every hypnotherapy session is that the client reports sleeping better afterwards. What's more, my clients also tell me that they wake up on time, feeling refreshed and eager for the day ahead. This seems to happen whatever we're working ...

- Improve Golf Game With Better Swing
By: nugy | - If you are a golfer then the most important trick of your trade is your swing. The importance of a good swing can never be over emphasized.

The first drive is always the most important one of the game. Making it into or close to the green should be your aim because that might decide whether or not you reach par.

By: Denise Villani | - The golf professionals do have something that they agree on. If you do not keep your balance during the entire swing, it is not possible to have a good stroke. It sounds simple to keep your balance, doesn't it?
