Michael Anthony. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" If you are new to my newsletter, welcome aboard. Please read "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" at the end of this newsletter. GOLFERS LOCKER ROOM BULLETIN BOARD Hi Mike, "I have been using the mental keys as described in the book and listing to the CD to and from the course each day before and after I play. It really is helping me keep my mind in the right space to play good golf. "I am currently representing my home course North Lakes in division 1 pennants, a match play formate for 0-9 handicap players no handicap used in the match. I won 4 & 3 on Sunday and this is due to me using the 4 step routine and alway thinking my glass was half full even when I hit a bad shot and let a difficult up and down. "Thanks for giving me the tools to improve my mental game, which is so important in match play." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It makes my day when you email me your success stories or ask for my help after you have read my book and listened to my CD. Don't be shy. It is always good to share positive feedback with your fellow golfers. Your generosity in sharing your experiences with others will help inspire them to keep polishing their wheel and help you sink an extra putt or two :-)
MENTAL TIP by MICHAEL ANTHONY "What If I Miss?" This is a continuation of my last newsletter's tip "Half Full or Half Empty?" If you believe that your glass is half full, you will have a higher level of chemistry than if you believe that your glass is half empty. As simple as this concept sounds, it can make the difference between making the shot or missing the shot because it makes the difference between whether your chemistry is high or low. Assuming that your risk/reward ratio favors taking the shot at hand, you raise your chemistry by focusing totally on the probability of making the shot and expecting to make it if everything goes right. That's the key. You have to focus totally on expecting to make the shot, and not even think about the probability of not making it. Let's assume your glass was half full when you hit the ball, but you missed your target. Does your glass remain half full or does it become half empty? If you're mentally tough and realize that missed shots are a part of golf, you will keep if half full. If Old Man golf has his way, he will have you convinced that your glass is half empty before the round of golf is over. Many golfers normally blame their mechanics when they miss a shot. Then they start making swing adjustments while they are playing. If they are not careful, they will end up changing their entire game before the round is over. Then they have to go to the driving range to find their swing. What happens in many cases, it's not their mechanics that were off. It was their mental state that was off because they started thinking that their glass was half empty. This changed their chemistry and caused their mechanics to be off. That's why golfers can quickly regain their swing on the driving range before they finish hitting a bucket of balls. Once they become relaxed and their chemistry improves, it allows their normal swing to return. Unfortunately, they go away thinking that they found their swing, instead of realizing that they found a glass that was half full. If you know what your probability of success is and make allowances for your missed shots, you will be able to keep your glass half full when you are playing. Otherwise, you will start blaming your mechanics and make it easy for Old Man golf to ruin your day. So the answer to the question "What if I miss?" is make sure that your glass is half full before you start changing your mechanics while you are playing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Super Bonus... When you order my book and CD, you will receive my Michael Anthony's Mental Golf Tips book, which contains 75 of my favorite mental tips. If you read a tip a day, you will be amazed at how much it will help you to keep polishing your wheel and shoot lower scores.
If you are not working on improving your mental game, you are playing golf with only half of the equipment. If you have not read The Mental Keys to Improve Your Golf, your mental game will benefit greatly by seeing the whole picture instead of just pieces contained in these mental tips. My book gives you the tools to improve your mental game. My CD Polish the Wheel makes it much easier to keep using them. "To develop a great mental game, it's critical to realize that your mental state affects the chemistry of your brain which in turn affects your ability to perform. Then, it's just a matter of reprogramming your mind to optimize your chemistry so you can play in the zone."
