Balance Your Golf Mind and Body for Better Golf – Focus on Your Hara
May 30, 2009 by admin
Filed under Guest Golf Articles
Moving from the balance of my life to the balance of the golf swing, I was intrigued to read recently about how many people view this as a key element of a successful golf swing. Now you know that I never comment on the mechanics of the swing as I’m neither a golf professional nor a swing coach. However, I do believe that balance is a key component of golf psychology and that psychological balance contributes significantly to balance in the golf mind and the golf swing. It also works wonders for your putting stroke.
When I was first studying NLP, Paul McKenna got us to do an exercise that he explained was based to some extent on Aikido. He asked for a volunteer and got her to just stand in an upright, relaxed posture and then to focus her mind on the audience. He then gently pushed her sideways with his hand against the outside of her shoulder. We saw how easily Paul caused her to sway off balance with just a light push.
Paul then asked the volunteer to focus all her attention on a point about two inches below her navel. Paul explained that this is known in Aikido as the ‘hara’ – the location of a person’s spirit and their centre of mass. He then repeated the push on her shoulder, but this time he couldn’t budge her, however hard he pushed. I was particularly surprised that the volunteer remained calm and relaxed despite Paul’s inability to shove her off balance. Paul then split the audience into pairs and I was able to confirm the experience for myself by working with someone much smaller than me. Despite his frailty, I couldn’t easily budge him when he focussed on his hara.
So what’s does all this have to do with golf, I hear you say. Well, just try it the next time you are out practicing. I did and I found that focussing on my hara when hitting a shot seemed to smooth out my swing and massively improve my balance. Let me know what it does for you.

Trust Your Unconscious Golf Mind to Remember to Play Good Golf, Ian Baker-Finch
May 30, 2009 by admin
Filed under Guest Golf Articles
Regular readers of my articles will be familiar with my rants about golfers changing their swings in response to what I see as their golf psychology problems. Sometimes they change their swings in the mistaken belief that they somehow need to play better. This generally seems to have one of two results and neither is better than trusting their unconscious golf mind to remember how to play well.
If they are really talented and especially strong mentally, they struggle their way through the changeover period and emerge a season or two later scoring almost as well as they did before the change. They of course believe that they are now better and more consistent golfers and clearly have a new swing. I’m thinking here of people like Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods. Now don’t get me wrong, they are both fantastic golfers. It’s just that they don’t seem to be any better as golfers than they were before their swing changes.
Nick Faldo was a phenomenal golfer and regular winner long before he had even heard the name David Leadbetter. I’m sure that he thinks he became a better golfer as a result of David’s swing changes and that may have helped him. I’m also sure that with the same self-belief, he could have won just as much with his old golf swing, possibly even more. I also think that he he’d still be competitive today with his old more natural swing. By most normal standards, Arnold Palmer is still playing fantastic golf in his 80th year and looks to be enjoying himself. What’s more, he’s still using the same far from classical swing he started winning with 60 years ago.
While I accept that Tiger’s latest swing change has in part been influenced by his need to protect his damaged knee, it’s not his first swing change. He’s still the world number one and possibly the best golfer ever, but is he as good as he was 10 years ago – most golfers get better as the move into their thirties? He’s almost overtaken Jack Nicklaus’ record number of major wins and he’s only 33, but Jack was still using the same old swing to win 7 more majors between the ages of 33 and 46. I hope I’m wrong, but I can’t see Tiger continuing to play that well for that length of time.
So what’s the second general result of top players making swing changes? Well, these are the people who lose their ability to score well, despite still striking the ball as well as ever. Here I’m thinking of people like Ian Baker-Finch and David Duval.
Now I’m sure you’ve heard the news that Ian Baker-Finch is making a comeback this weekend at the Crowne Plaza Invitational tournament at Colonial, where he won his only US PGA tournament back in 1989. You may even recall how Ian went on to win the (British) Open at Royal Birkdale in 1991 and a further dozen or so tournaments in Europe, Australia and Japan.
Ian’s game went downhill rapidly in the early 90s and he ended up missing the cut in all 18 tournaments he entered in 1995. Although he continued to hit the ball perfectly on the practice ground, to hole putts on the practice green and to play well in friendly matches, Ian decided that the problem was with his swing, so he spent a lot of time tinkering with it. He worked with a great many swing coaches, interestingly including David Leadbetter, before giving up the professional game and becoming a much loved television commentator on the US PGA tour.
So here’s wishing Ian Baker-Finch well with his comeback this weekend at Colonial. Let’s hope that he remembers how good a golfer he really is and let’s his unconscious golf mind get on with the job of hitting the ball as well as it remembers and he knows he can. Trust your swing, Ian! Your old swing, that is!

Titleist Golf Drivers
May 28, 2009 by admin
Filed under Guest Golf Articles
When Titleist introduced its 909 series of golf drivers, it maintained the classic, and instantly recognizable pear shaped club head and then that’s where the 909 Series have a parting of the way.
In order to accurately match the perfect Titleist golf driver to individual golfers, Titleist consider the angle a golfer uses when taking a shot and the speed he hits the ball. All golfers are different when it comes to these two factors and that is why there will never be a “one size fits all” Titleist golf driver.
So, in order for a golfer to discover which Titleist suits his game best, it is critical that he consider his own speed and angle and by doing this he will locate a Titleist driver that can maximize his driving distance.
The Titleist 909 series offers golfers three distinct driver options, which adjust CG (centre of gravity) to suit the way a golfer drives.
In order to achieve the ideal golf drive, a ball should have a high initial launch with low spin, but, if a golfer’s drive doesn’t match this ideal then Titleist can provide a driver to assist.
A golfer who drives with excessive spin may find his ball launches low, rises too high and then drops steeply would benefit from incorporating the Titleist 909D Comp or 909D2 into his game. However if his swing average is high, he may discover that the 909D3 will help control his spin more effectively.
A golfer, who suffers from a drive that launches high, sees his ball disappear into orbit, but, drops like a stone could improve ball trajectory by using the 909D3.
Titleist 909 D Comp drivers produces a high launch with mid to low spin. The 909 D2 offers a 460cc clubface and produces a drive with mid launch and mid to low spin, whereas the 909D3 titanium club promotes a mid launch with slow spin.
Golfbuyitonline have a whole range of Titleist golf drivers, which are available in a full range of shaft and flex options, and are happy to advice on the ideal Titleist golf driver to improve a golfer’s game.

Additional Training For Your Muscles To Aid A Proper Golf Swing
May 27, 2009 by admin
Filed under Guest Golf Articles
The proper golf swing involves all the muscles in your body. This complicated pivotal movement put some thirty-two individual muscles into play. Like any other skill, constant repetition done properly will improve form and muscle. The avid golfer can, by repetition and additional exercises developed specifically to develop those muscle groups that are required to execute a proper golf swing, improve his swing and his overall game play.
The Components Of A Proper Golf Swing
The three components of a swing are the backswing, the downswing and the follow through. The backswing stretches those muscles required to execute the optimized downswing, for it is the power in the downswing that is going to drive the ball across the fairway. Once the ball is hit the follow through comes into play. This is to reduce the chances of any injury and to get the muscles back into shape for a rest.
The power for the shot in the downswing comes from three areas: the arms, the torso and the wrists. The force generated by the torso is mainly a conversion of a pivotal force around an axis. Its primary function is to build momentum. This needs a strong foundation and a stable axis. The hip joints and the spine are the pivotal points.
The arms generate the bulk of the propulsive power required to increase the velocity of the club. After all the power generated by the arms and the torso, one may think that the wrist plays an inconsequential part in the swing. But it is the wrist that guides that final stroke that channelizes the force to hit the ball dead centre.
The Muscle Groups That Perform The Swing
Each muscle group in the body contributes to the game of golf. It is the muscles of the chest, the back and the upper arms that generate the force of the downswing. This force is transmitted to the golf club by the speed built up during the downswing. The main movers are the pectorals, the deltoids and the teres-latissimus muscle groups of the chest, the shoulders and the back respectively. The muscles of the forearm and the wrist control the direction of the swing.
Strategies To Improve Power And Speed
The goal of additional training, other than for the swing, is for strengthening the core muscles and to improve the reflexes. Abdominal exercises and balance drills help stabilize form. Weight lifting is for strengthening the leg muscles, the upper back, the chest and the shoulders. Exercises to improve strength in the wrist are required for those who hardly do any manual work.
Isometric training is added to additional training to improve the reflexes. Fast muscle response is required to transfer the velocity of the swing to the ball with minimal contact time. As such supplemental training to improve speed of muscle response is essential. A judicious balance of strength and speed will show remarkable improvement in ones game of golf.
Whether you are just starting out or just wanting to take your game to the next level, the author Ian Bell says that improving on your game of golf need not be difficult or frustrating.

The Fast Track to Better Golf in your Unconscious – Slow Play Kills your Golf Mind
May 26, 2009 by admin
Filed under Guest Golf Articles
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 amateur events and taking over 11 hours to play two medal rounds as a two-ball and no time for lunch. The quick round was much more enjoyable although we were both a bit out of breath by the end.
As a golf psychologist, I’ve often been falsely accused of contributing to the slow play at my home club. People assume that, with all the extra thinking going on, that my clients will take more time playing their shots. This may be true for people who implement long conscious checklists and complicated pre-shot routines, as outlined in many of the popular “so-called” golf psychology books and magazine articles. Have you noticed that those people usually don’t seem to start thinking about their shots until they have got to their ball and everyone else in their group has played their shots and are halfway to the green!
For me, golf psychology is about being prepared and ready on the golf course and automatically doing the right things using the power of your unconscious. Apart from it being inherently quicker, you also save time by hitting better and fewer shots. If you plan your shots in advance, like a chess player would, you’re more likely to hit your drive to the best part of the fairway and you’ll already know the ideal shot to play from there. All you need to do is to confirm your club selection and the shot you want to play and hand over to your unconscious programming to complete your pre-shot routine and hit the ball – with no need for complicated checklists.
The same thing applies to your putting. Just because Jim Furyk goes through a long and complex pre-shot routine before stopping walking away and starting again, doesn’t mean that you have to. If you’ve assessed the putt you have to play and can see it in your mind’s eye, then again you can trust your unconscious to get on and hit the shot. If you hit your approach shot near to your preferred spot on the green, you should already know what to expect from the putt, so just get on with it.
Now I’m not suggesting that you should hurry the shot, just that you shouldn’t waste time. The more time you take, the more time is available for that inner voice of yours to start sowing the seeds of doubt in your mind. And we all know what happens then.

Overcome the Yips – Putting Psychology with Golf Hypnosis and EFT
May 25, 2009 by admin
Filed under Guest Golf Articles
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 set of unique issues and expectations, and develops a unique approach for that client.
Nowhere is this more true than with putting, the game within the game of golf. Putting is the great equalizer in golf and we all have the opportunity for success, regardless of age, sex, build, health and level of fitness. Putting also accounts for approximately a third to a half of our total score. The lower your handicap, the larger the proportion of your score will be putts.
Golfers typically take as many as thirteen other clubs with them when playing golf, and yet it’s rare to see anyone take more than one putter. In addition, most of those other clubs are pretty similar to everyone else’s. My 3-Wood is unlikely to be substantially different from your one in terms of length, loft, size, shape or weight and the same is true for every other club in the bag – apart from the putter. How many times have you played in a fourball and every player has had a similar style of putter, let alone the same model. Do you often come across mallet-headed drivers, centre-shafted woods, broomstick sand wedges or long-irons with two-thumb grips?
You’re also likely to see much greater diversity in how people stand, grip and swing their putters than you ever see with the rest of the clubs. That’s probably why Dave Pelz, one of the leading short game experts, can take 387 pages in his Putting Bible to explain the complexities of the “flat stick.”
So it should be no surprise that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to putting psychology – any good work here needs to be interactive and iterative. To demonstrate what I mean, here’s an approach for a single-figure handicap golfer whose putting Yips are driving him away from golf after more than 20 years of enjoyment.
I know what he means about having the Yips. I remember having putting problems like that back in my younger days when I was playing off a handicap of 2. I still can’t believe that for over 25 years as a category 1 player, I averaged around 35 putts per round. I can even remember going round in 1 over par with 38 putts! Thankfully, that was before I got into golf psychology and things have improved quite a lot for me in that area.
So what could help him overcome the yips? Well, it would help to know a bit more about how they started for him and what he’s tried in his quest to get rid of them. Working face to face or even on the phone with a hypnotherapist, he could soon develop a helpful approach. Now, in the absence of that information, here are a few ideas he could consider:
- Putt while looking at the hole or your target spot, rather than looking at the ball. The separation of the conscious task of looking for the result and the unconscious task of swinging the putter certainly helped me when I used the technique.
- Relax yourself in a comfortable location and recall some good putts from your past or imagine what they would have been like. Just imagine you were hitting those putts again. It may help to do this after listening to my golf hypnosis recording. You don’t have to listen to the full 25 minutes, just listen for about 10 minutes and then do some putting visualisation in your mind. When you are physically practicing your putting or out playing, imagine the putt you are about to hit and “see” the ball rolling along your chosen line and falling into the hole. Then just step into the shot and let it roll.
- When you hole a putt, replay it in your mind both at the time and later when you review your practice session or round. If you miss a putt, just imagine that you holed it and replay the imagined successful putt in your mind.
Another, possibly even weirder, approach is to use a technique called EFT. Some people say it’s like a version of acupuncture, except you tap the meridian points with your finger rather than using needles! For me it works like hypnosis, in that you consciously have to focus on the tapping sequence while you unconsciously think about the problem you want to correct – the Yips.
I’ve already documented the EFT for Better Golf process in a series of four articles posted here. The process requires you to use a “Setup Statement” that’s explained in Part 3. I would suggest him starting out using a simple setup statement such as “Even though I have this putting problem, I completely and utterly accept myself.” Now I know this sounds a bit daft, even though it works wonders!

How to Control Your Anger on the Golf Course
May 24, 2009 by admin
Filed under Guest Golf Articles
Are you one of those people who cannot stop yourself from throwing a tantrum, or your club, when the golf ball goes off on a “frolic of it’s own”? In your defense, I’m sure that you only respond in this way because you care about your game. I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard this particular line of defense used by a golfer attempting to justify his bad behavior!
I’m sorry if I appear sexist here in my assumption that this is a “male thing” but it does tend to be mainly men who suffer from such outbursts on the course. Perhaps this is because traditionally men are more competitive in nature, or because they are more concerned about another’s opinion of their performance. Maybe this is in the male gene pool, dating back to when we lived in caves, and it was massively important then for the male to perform well. Perform or do not survive.
Certainly, many golfers act as if their life depended on that last shot. A stray ball dents ones pride and ones confidence. It affects you at a very personal level. And the memory of that stray shot goes round and round in your mind, haunting you and taunting you on its way. The rest of the game is ruined as you stomp from hole to hole, head down, muttering obscenities under your breath. The anger induced tension ruins not just your equilibrium and enjoyment of this fantastic game, but it ruins your focus and rhythm too.
A negative cycle of effect ensues. The tense rhythm of your swing snakes its way down your club from hands to shaft to club face…and the ball shoots off in strange and unexpected directions. Yet this shouldn’t really be unexpected. It is the natural effect of anger. When angry, not only are you restricted by tension, you cannot think clearly, you cannot focus, your mental capacity is restricted and imprisoned by your pent up emotions.
And in golf, you have to think clearly and focus upon what you want to happen. You have to relax and swing freely and mentally direct your ball towards the hole. Golf balls do as they are told. If you direct then in an angry manner, they will respond in a fierce and angry way!
So what can you do to stop getting angry on the golf course? There are many mental skills involved in playing great golf, and if you do not learn them your golf will never be that great. You can learn to take a step back, dissociate from the emotion and calm both mind and body. This is an art, and one which everyone can learn. You can learn to turn a blind eye to those shots which didn’t turn out exactly as you had hoped; you can learn to erase these negative memories from your golfing mind. You can learn to replace these thoughts and images with ones which are far more productive. You can learn to focus clearly and block out unnecessary distractions.
Ninety percent of great golf is in your mind, and hypnosis is the key to your inner mind. Try it for yourself – you can get a free hypnosis download from my website.

Golf – Easy Tips to Learn Golf Alone
May 23, 2009 by admin
Filed under Guest Golf Articles
Are you in search for a coach to learn golf and not able to find a worthy one? Don’t worry, this article will provide you all the essential tips to learn golf alone. It is easy to learn golf alone and many people have done it and so can you. Just follow these easy tips and you will be able to play golf in a short time.
- I’ll assume that you do have an interest in golf before you decided to play and you have seen other golfers play. If that’s the case then you must be familiar with most of the golf basics and you must have also seen the professional golfers play. Now it is easy for you to watch them play more closely and observe their shots. Practice what you have learned from them until it reaches perfection. You can learn most of the golf just by watching other people playing golf. It would be a plus point if you get your hands on some golf videos and study them clip by clip. Videos come with a benefit of rewind, so you can rewind the video if you were not able to understand any thing or were not able to concentrate on the whole shot.
- Practice makes a man perfect and I don’t have to say that this sentence applies on women too. No matter who you are, practicing something will make you perfect. But keep in mind that you’re practicing it the right way. Doing things wrong will not make you perfect and this is where your golf videos will come in. You can judge on your own or compare your golf game with a professional. Find the difference and try to minimize it by working harder on your game or by minimizing the chances of certain mistakes in your game.
Practice will be the key to success for you. So practice everything you’ve learned about golf and go to the golf course as often as possible to practice. Keep in mind that if you are not familiar with the basics of golf, all the above mentioned might turn out to be a bit difficult for you. But still, watching other people play golf will help you to understand it better.
