GOLFERS LOCKER ROOM BULLETIN BOARD

Bula from Sunny Fiji Michael,

"I started playing golf 2 years ago at age 53, and must admit I am a person that has been virtually coached on the Web.

"Your mental inputs to the game have indeed given me that edge to think through my game before I take any shot. My handicap is now at 14 after being rated at 27 when I started, and I aim to take it below 10 before the year is out.

"Thank you for your inputs."

Cheers,

Tubu

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

"The Importance of the Mental Game"

To fully comprehend the importance of the mental game of golf, a golfer has to clearly understand what is the purpose of the mental game, and how does one achieve a great mental game?

Almost daily, more and more research studies are being released that reveal that much of human behavior, health, and performance are affected by the chemistry of the brain. If a golfer knows how to control the variables that make up their mental game, they can positively influence the chemistry of the brain, and increase their performance.

One of the keys to developing a great mental game is to clearly 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, or at your highest level of mechanical proficiency.

In this limited space I can only briefly touch on some of the mental keys that will help golfers to lower their score. Your thoughts, diet, exercise, rest, environment, and physiology affect the chemistry of your brain. While they are all important, the fastest way to lower your score is to change your thoughts from negative to positive.

The easiest way to do this is to understand that all of your thoughts have two components: facts and emotions. You may not like some of the facts that you experience during a round of golf, but it is important to realize that facts are merely facts - fair or unfair. It is even more important to become aware that it is the emotions you attach to these facts that affect your performance.

Positive emotions cause your brain to secrete beneficial chemicals that will improve your performance. Conversely, negative emotions cause your brain to secrete chemicals that adversely affect your performance. As simple as this concept sounds, it cannot be denied that you will always play better when you are positive, then when you are negative. Now you know why the mental game is so important.

All I have to do to help a golfer shoot lower scores at any level is show them how to reduce their negative emotions and increase their positive emotions. It is almost like magic and works every time if you use "The Mental Keys".

The more you learn to master your emotions, the better you will play at any level. The more you master your mechanics, the lower you will score. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

In golf most negative emotions originate from concern of the outcome. The key to controlling your emotions is to realize that you cannot serve two masters and be effective. You can choose to be process oriented or remain concerned with the outcome.

The only purpose that the outcome has is to give you direction and feedback to make the necessary adjustments to improve your mechanical and mental games. If you train your mind to focus solely on the process of improving and do the work, it is only a matter of time until you achieve your desired outcome.

If you insist on serving two masters by being concerned with the outcome while you are trying to improve the process, you greatly diminish your chances for success.

The next time you play a round of golf, stop looking over your shoulder at your score. Instead, play one shot at a time totally in the present. If you do, I guarantee you will end up with a lower score.

My mission is to help you lower your score by increasing your awareness of how your mind processes information and providing you with insights on how to improve your mental game.

It is important for my new subscribers to get up to speed as quickly as possible. If you truly desire to lower your score, read my book and listen to my CD (part one) before and (part two) after you play as well as read my mental tip newsletters.

My advice to my old subscribers is to keep polishing your wheel if you want your scores to continue to fall. Since my mental tips are designed to enhance and reinforce your understanding of "The Mental Keys," keep reading them as well as rereading my book from time to time.

Some of my newsletters contain new tips and others repeat past tips to refresh your tape. If you keep polishing your wheel, your scores will continue to fall. I guarantee it!

Once in awhile, I send out a Golf Announcement to inform you of other golf products that will help you to polish your wheel. Please take a serious look at them.
