Tiger Woods says “It is a thinking man or woman’s game. The psychology of golf entails mental toughness, self confidence, intimidation, gamesmanship, conquering inner demons, instant recall of past successes and being able to purge failures. It is the game within the game”.

This is coming from the best golfer in the world. Despite this, most golfers have focussed on swing techniques or getting the latest driver to try and improve their game. At the core of this seems to be a major misperception - golf is about hitting the ball.

We need to rethink the way we approach and play golf

In reality handicaps have not improved statistically in a hundred years. The average male golfer still has a handicap of 24 plus. We really need to rethink how we learn, coach and play golf.

If you are a golfer who is committed to excellence or improvement in your golf game, then a new approach is needed. Golf is just like martial arts, yoga, tai chi or any of the ancient arts, it is zen, a way of being.

Golf is a mind, physiology game. A game of consciousness. Golfing excellence is about personal excellence, and excellence is about constant and never ending improvement.

If you seek to be your best then you need to approach your golf as a way of being in mind and body. An integrated whole approach that requires you to be conscious and totally present. This is golfing excellence.

Any peak performer comes to realise that skill alone is not enough and usually leads to inconsistency.

You have a choice. You can have golf as the best meditation in the world or you can choose frustration and inconsistency as your trance.

You've heard the saying - "Oils ain't oils

Well golf coaches are like that. Most golf professionals do not coach the way they play. They coach you to hit the ball because that's what most golfers ask for.

The reality is, they play to a target.

Why fill your mind with useless swing thoughts. The only thing you need to focus on is the target. It's not where the ball is that is important, it's where it is going to land.

Your target!

Oh, and the other important point - you don't score with your driver, you score with your short game and putting.

Golf is a mind, physiology and skill game

Most golfers are willing to pretend they can work it out for themselves...yet with an understanding of some basic golf fundamentals and principles of the mind, physiology and skill, they could transform how they play golf.

It amazes me every time I'm out on-course as a Golf Mind Coach coaching someone in the mind/physiology game, how dramatically their golf improves. They find their rhythm, slow down, learn to relax, play more strategically and score well. Usually with a lot less focus on their swing.

The look on their faces. "Oh, I had no idea it was that easy and it would make such as huge difference!" We get your mind and body working with you. Most people work against themselves.

The right coaching and education will make all the difference.

Imagine coordinating sound mind coaching with a good coaching golf pro to work on your skill and the appropriate physiology professional to work on your body, flexibility and movement. And, of course.... make sure you are using clubs custom fitted to you as well as using a single brand of new golf ball suited to your style.

Then add a quality practice program. You will transform with fantastic results and improvement.

It is not for the faint hearted though. This requires dedication and discipline, a way of being that will overflow into your life and business.

There is a way to model excellence in golf!

Why handicap yourself when you don't have to. This is the essence of golfing excellence. Modeling excellence in all aspects of golf to bring out your best, natural game.

Consistency is one of the keys. Let's make it easy and set you up for success.
