  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • Mental Foursomes Practice With Golf Hypnosis For Better Golf In Your Mind's Eye
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Practicing golf in your mind, mental golf if you like, is just as effective as playing golf and physical practice on the range, if you want to play better golf. As I've written many times before, it also works a lot better when accompanied by golf hypnosis and other golf psychology techniques.

    But there's a problem. How do you imagine hitting shots from difficult lies if you're playing an imaginary round? Surely you'd have to hit bad imaginary shots in order to get into the difficu ...

  • See Yourself Putting Better And Enjoying Golf More With Golf Psychology
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - There were some amazing golf and putting psychology lessons on show with Phil Mickelson's stunning win at the Tour Championship at East Lake this weekend. Yes I know Tiger won the FedEx Cup and the $10 million with an amazingly consistent series of results. But given Phil's year, both on and especially off the course, his victory on Sunday was a simply joyous and breathtaking turnaround. Phil had looked out of sorts in recent weeks and after his quadruple bogey 8 on the 14th hole in the first ro ...

  • Visualise Your Target For Better Unconscious Golf
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - As a golf psychologist, I'm regularly asked by clients about what they should be thinking about in their golf mind when they're actually swinging the club or stroking a putt. Many of them will have some sort of pre-shot routine that prepares them to some degree for the shot they're about to make. A smaller number will also include some sort of visualisation of the shot they want to hit. However, very few will be thinking about that visualisation when they actually hit the ball.

    So w ...

  • The Golf Psychology Of Letting Everyone Else Complain While You Win
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - How often do you hear your playing partners and other people at the golf course complaining about things beyond their control? Maybe you do it a bit yourself. I know I have from time to time, especially in the past. You know the sort of thing I mean. More importantly, have you ever thought about the golf psychology impact that this has on their game?

    Now I'm talking here about a whole range of complaints. You'll hear some people whingeing about the conditions. Maybe it's too hot or ...

  • The Golf Psychology Of Self Hypnosis And Imagination For Winning Happiness
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - I felt so sad watching Sergio Garcia looking so miserable and failing to close out a much needed win in the Wyndham Championship at Greensboro on Sunday. It reminds me of how important our internal state is to good golf psychology and how we can use self-hypnosis to manage and control our state of mind.

    One of the fundamentals of modern psychology is the idea that whatever we consciously think about our unconscious mind does its best to deliver. This manifests itself in many ways an ...

  • Putting Psychology And Golf Hypnosis Into Perspective At Pga Championship
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Putting was clearly very difficult for all the players at Hazeltine in the 2009 PGA Championship, especially in terms of putting psychology. Now we all saw Tiger Woods missing a lot of mid-range putts that we'd normally expect him to see and I've already written about how those were the result of his uneasiness about the swirling wind. I'm more concerned here with a number of really crucial putts missed by Lee Westwood and the massive number of short putts missed by Vijay Singh.

  • Anchor Your Good Golf Shots With A Post Shot Routine Using Nlp And Golf Hypnosis
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - I've been writing a lot lately about the negative and positive golf psychology of fear on the golf course. While I've been thinking all about golf fear consciously, it seems that my unconscious mind has been quietly working away on the question of how we actual do this "fear" thing in our golf minds. Using a post-shot routine was the answer - to the problem, not the question.

    Now in NLP and golf hypnosis, we have many ways of managing a person's fears. If it's a full blown ...

  • Channel Your First Tee Nerves Into Unconscious Golf Resources For Better Golf
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - There's a danger we treat fear completely as a bad thing in golf psychology. 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. But you can get the same type of fear when faced with a shot that you "always" hit badly or a hole that you always play badly. Perhaps your ball seems inexorably drawn to those trees on the right or that ...

  • Winning With Golf Hypnosis Like The Pakistan Cricket Team
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - I know it's not cricket golf to talk about golf cricket in a golf hypnosis article, even if cricket and golf hypnosis are in essence the same thing. I'm also aware that many of my readers will have no idea what cricket is all about anyway. However, this story has as much to say about sports psychology and golf hypnotism as it does about cricket. In addition, it shouldn't be as long-winded as some cricketing stories as I'm talking about a quick form of cricket called the Twenty20 World Cup. Now w ...

  • Grind Out A Winning Score Using Golf Psychology And Golf Hypnosis
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Have you noticed how good some of the leading professionals are at grinding out a good score, even if they are swinging the club below their best or downright badly. It's interesting to note that the real greats like Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus always seem to be able to do this, however they're playing, and whatever the "rub of the green" throws at them when they get to the last nine holes of a championship.

    If I look back to my early years in golf, before I had any thou ...

  • 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 ...

  • Better Putting In Your Golf Mind
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - I hear that Darren Clarke's looking for putting improvement through golf psychology and working again with Bob Rotella. I know that Darren has worked in the past with Golf Psychologist Dr Karl Morris - after all, I've read Golf - The Mind Factor, the book they published together back in 2005. However, for some reason I didn't know that he'd worked with Bob Rotella.

    I can't say how delighted I am to see Darren's back competing in the 2009 US Open at Bethpage Black after qualifying as ...

  • Play Your Best With Golf Psychology Before Changing Your Unconscious Golf Swing
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - If you have hit good golf shots at some time in your golfing life, you already have the unconscious golfing ability to repeat those shots and score well. So, how well could you score if you played to the best of your existing golfing ability? Well, you can if you get the very most out of that ability before you decide to change your golf swing again.

    One way to find out how well you can score with your existing unconscious golf swing is to add up the lowest number of shots you've ev ...

  • Use Your Unconscious Golf Mind To Protect Your Golf Swing From Analysis Paralysis
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - I'm glad to be back talking about analysis paralysis and unconscious golf. These are two of my favourite golf psychology topics.

    Concentrating on how you swing will often prevent you from playing your best and most natural game of golf. You probably recall similar messages from me that tie into the concept that there's a place for thinking consciously on the golf course. That's thinking about where you want the ball to go and how you want it to get there. There's also a place for t ...

  • Overcome The Yips - Putting Psychology With Golf Hypnosis And Eft
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Using Golf Hypnosis, NLP and EFT, with different clients on almost every aspect of the game of golf, from the putting psychology and the Yips through to concentration and lack of confidence, clients often go on to seeking help with their lives in general. With so many common factors, you could be forgiven for assuming that there's a standard "cure" for each problem or opportunity a client may bring. The good hypnotherapist sees each client as the unique person they are, with their own ...

  • 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 ...

  • Find Your Lost Golf Swing Hypnotically And Improve Your Golf Confidence
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Have you ever heard golfers talk about losing their swing and their golf confidence during a round of golf? They were playing really quite well for a few holes and then suddenly they just seem lose it and hit a series of bad shots. Perhaps you've experienced this yourself. I certainly know that it's happened to me in the past and it just felt like I was a complete beginner again.

    Now, where does that good swing go when this happens and do we literally forget how we were swinging? We ...

  • The Top 10 Mental Golf Mistakes That Golfers Make

At least, these are the ones they talk about in the bar after a round of golf or in the office the next day. Although Id normally want to know a lot more about the individual before offering advice, Ive included my initial suggestions as to how to address each problem with golf psychology.

  • Who Is Using Golf Hypnosis For Golf Improvement - Apart From Tiger Woods
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - So whos using hypnosis to improve their golf performance apart from Tiger Woods and maybe Phil Mickelson? Well, taking first things first, its difficult to be sure whos using hypnosis because most people who do dont want to let on. Whys that? Well firstly, they want to keep the competitive edge that golf hypnosis gives them to themselves. Secondly, although its becoming acceptable for a top golfer to admit to using a mind coach, their marketing pe ...

  • Golf Hypnosis Leads To Success Over The Inner Game Of Golf
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - I'm just re-reading Timothy Gallwey's The Inner Game of Golf again after almost 25 years! It's fascinating and given my training in Hypnosis and NLP, I now see why it didn't work for me when I first worked with it. That insight may also help to explain that despite the plethora of tennis coaches teaching Inner Game techniques, there seem to be very few PGA Professionals claiming to teach. I know that's asking for a big bag of emails from the ones who do - I'd like to know who they are.

  • Golf Psychology Homework To Improve Golf Hypnosis
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Giving my clients homework tasks to improve their golf and get the most effective results from golf hypnosis sessions is one of the keys to my success. Its also something that I use to good effect with my clinical hypnotherapy clients as well. Homework can also be used very effectively with golf hypnosis recordings and with self-assigned tasks for self-hypnosis as well.

    So what do I mean by Golf Hypnosis Homework

  • Play Unconscious Golf In The Zone Or In A Trance-like Cocoon Of Concentration
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - So what is this golf mind and unconscious golf stuff that I'm always writing and talking about? And how does it actually work? These are questions I occasionally get asked by more sceptical golfers. Thankfully the vast majority of people I talk to either accept my explanations or trust me based on the results they've seen other people achieve.

  • The Mind Golf Secrets The Golf Equipment Industry Does Not Want You To Hear
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - When people write about the top professionals, they tend to talk about the externally visible aspect of their game their swing technique. Those same writers rarely tell you about the golf mind secrets of those professionals.

    So what about Jack Nicklaus and 90% of golf in the mind?

    When I started out in golf in the late 60s I recall hearing Jack Nicklaus talk on TV about golf being 90% in the mind. However, when I eagerly read his first book, The Greatest Game o ...

  • Golf Mastery 101: The Psychology Of The Golf Swing!
    By: Keld Frantzen | - Before focusing on the question of increasing faith with ones golf swing I like you all to think concerning this thought; you cannot only "Think" yourself a magnificent golf swing. Or else, we would all solely think concerning pots of gold arriving in our front rooms and we'd all be loaded. However, the pots of gold do not get there just by thinking concerning them, equally, our golf swing does not transform into that of Tiger Woods solely by thinking alone. Something needs to be completed to ge ...

    Now I know the valiant and expectant Ross Fisher's challenge effectively died in the thick rough at the 5th hole on Sunday. But he went on to succeed magnificently in a way that world number one, Tiger Woods, miserably failed to do t ...

    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 ...

  • Hypnosis Not Analysis Paralysis To Improve Golf Success
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - You will not improve your swing and achieve golfing success through analysis paralysis. People who teach you complex swing thoughts just clutter your conscious mind and block out the unconscious mental processes that already know how to swing the club to the best of your ability.

    Now don't get me wrong about the general standard of teaching from PGA golf professionals. It's truly magnificent and in nearly all cases the swing coaching advice they give you is well thought out, simpl ...

    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - Now I'm really looking forward to some unconscious golf at Doral over the weekend, but I'm not sure what sort of spectacle it's going to be with players like Mike Weir allegedly 'going unconscious' ' doesn't sound like a lot of action there.

    To be fair, the article I've just read from Lorne Rubenstein at Globe and Mail talks about the advice that Bob Rotella is giving Mike Weir in preparation for this weekend's World Golf Championships. And any advice from Bob is usually good advi ...

  • Better Golf With Hypnosis And Nlp - Your Own Virtual Caddy
    By: The Golf Hypnotist | - How many times have you seen a top professional golfer in deep conversation, when watching golf on television? It almost seems like there are two people out there playing as a team - one doing the thinking and one doing the playing.

    I was just watching the last few holes of the 2008 Open Championship again and marveling at the battle between Padraig Harrington, Ian Poulter and the amazing Greg Norman - how does he play golf to that standard over 4 days at 53 having hardly hit a ba ...

    By: Roseanna Leaton | - Your mind doesn't need to be your biggest handicap! Once you work out how to control your thoughts, and overcome sometimes unconscious negative thought patterns, your golf will reach a far higher level. As well as removing negative thoughts, you can also choose to fill your mind with positive expectations, as demonstrated by this Jack Nicklaus quote:-


    "I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in focus picture of it in my head. It's like a colo ...

  • How To Improve Your Golf Game With Subliminal Affirmations
    By: Mick Euan Tait | - It is said that the game of golf is 90% mental, so learning to control the inner game of golf is essential. Many golfers struggle for years until they realize the importance of the mental game of golf. So until you know how to implement the mental game of golf, don't spend any more money on the latest golf driver, golf training aid, or lessons.

    What do subliminal messages have to do with golf, you may think? Well, Tiger Woods has used subliminal affirmations since the age of 13. Most ...

    By: Annette Huygens Tholen | - Golf is known to be more of a mental game than a physical game. Jim Flick, mentor to Jack Nicklaus, has said "The mindset or attitude you bring to the game determines not only the enjoyment you desire from golf but also the level of proficiency you will achieve."

    My name is Annette Huygens-Tholen and I am a Master Results Coach, working on the mindset to help others get the results they want in life. Ill admit I have spent little time on the golf course myself and so I won ...

  • Improving Your Golf Happens With Confidence
    By: Craig Sigl | - If improving your golf was all about the swing, then why do we have balloon-score rounds right after taking our lessons and spending hours on the practice range? Because golf is a mental game right?

    The meaning of the word "confidence" and how it applies to golf is everything for improving your golf and what happens to us on the course when we're playing. . The greatest shot killer is not bad mechanics, it's DOUBT!
