A Golf Mind Coach will transform your whole approach to your golf

Golfing Excellence is a golf coaching company, firstly focussed on golf mind coaching, and secondly, in facilitating a total coaching approach working with Golf Professionals and Physiology Specialists.

A focus on the swing has made golf harder than it needs to be

At Golfing Excellence we realised that the emphasis in learning and coaching in golf has been on the golf swing and skill with little or no improvement for the majority of golfers.

The mind game and physiology was sidelined and has been neglected since the 1970's.

Golf coaching and marketing took a left turn in pursuit of excellence. Unfortunately to the detriment of the majority of golfers.

It was fine for elite golfers because they knew it was important to work on their mind game and physiology, and continued to do so. But unlike the amateur, they had the full picture of what was needed.

Follow Tiger Woods as a model of excellence

For instance, Tiger Woods' father taught him Tai Chi, fitness training, the mind game and mental toughness as much as he did skill from the very beginning of his golfing life.

Earl Woods was Tiger's golf mind coach.

At the general golf coaching level and for the average golfer, skill, technique and technology became the primary focus.

The foundation for behavioural excellence of any sort including golfing excellence has always been the mind and physiology, and how you use them. It just got lost in the translation so to speak.

Time to Rethink your golf

Golfers got caught up in one of the major illusions of the game. "Golf is about hitting the ball".

In reality, golf has been about playing to a target and playing through the ball to a target. Your focus needs to be on your target, not the ball. Looking at the ball and your focus are not the same thing.

Your golf coach may have lost the plot too!

Unfortunately, in response to the requests of the market, most golf professionals who coach responded by teaching people the swing, technique, how to hit the ball and to buy the latest and best driver and clubs.

In focussing on hitting the ball most golfers overhit off the tee and then get tentative the closer they get to the hole through fear.

Now it's time to shift the focus back to golf improvement

To improve your game we need to learn the golf mind game. Without this you will be severely handicap your ability to be consistent and at your best.

For instance: your ability to relax is your doorway to high performance, staying focussed, tapping into your natural rhythm, saving strokes, good decisionmaking and strategy, and having the ability to score.

How do you do this? Through your mind and physiology.

There is so much to learn and apply you can't do it on your own. You literally need to "change your mind", to totally rethink your game and thinking about how you play golf.

You need the help of a golf mind coach to transform your mind and your golf game.

Your Golf Mind Coach - Roderick Fraser

Roderick Fraser, founder and owner of Golfing Excellence is a Golf Mind Coach.

He is a Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Ericksonian Hypnosis and Timeline Therapy. He also has an extensive background in business as a High Performance Consultant.

NLP is about modelling behavioural excellence. As such, Roderick is unique in his approach working with the whole person in golf.

He works with you at the level of your mind, values, beliefs, thinking, physiology, emotions, language, focus, memories, confidence, fears, doubts, decisions, strategies and much more that leads to your behaviour, skill, capabilities and results.

This includes working with a golfer at various levels of awareness in the conscious and unconscious mind.

What a Golf Mind Coach is not

Roderick has been a golfer for 30 years since early teenager years. He is not a golf professional so he will not teach you the golf swing. His coaching is based on being a great mind coach not on being a player.

Good players are not necessarily good coaches. Coaching is an art form and requires its own unique set of talents.

Roderick's own game as ever is an inspired work in progress in pursuit of Golfing Excellence.
