| Michael Anthony's Mental Golf Tip Newsletter Issue 267: Wednesday - February 3, 2010 Hi Determined Golfer, Please do me a major favor, and tell your golfing buddies and golf instructor how "The Mental Keys" are helping you to lower your score, 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 Michael "I want to thank you for your work on the mental game. It certainly improved mine. I can't say it made my scores that much lower, but I made me far more consistent. "I've had many rounds now without any doubles and that makes a huge difference in scoring, as anybody knows. Also, every time I stand up to a shot, I believe that I can make it. I don't make them all, but I'm making more - puts, approaches and even fairway woods. It's amazing how well you can put when you believe that the put, even a long one, could go in! "When I'm going head to head, the pressure is just in the background and doesn't affect me as much. Take a breath, focus, make a swing and see what happens. Now that's living! Er, I mean golf!" -Rob Baker ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 "Reduce the Variables of Golf" Golf can be a very complex game because the mechanics of a golfer's swing is not a simple thing to learn and execute instinctively. However, the more you can reduce the variables of golf, the simpler the game becomes, and the easier it is to lower your score. Unfortunately, many golfers trying to lower their score spend most of their time and energy on buying expensive equipment or practicing without taking lessons. Besides not taking lessons and practicing, the average golfer neglects to work on improving the simpler variables that they have more control over. Fortunately, there are three other variables that influence a golfer’s performance and score. They are 1) course management or strategy, 2) physical condition, and 3) the mental game. These variables are much simpler to control than the mechanics of the golf swing. Course management or strategy is simply playing the golf course within your mechanical and physical limitations. Whatever level of mechanical skill you have attained, learn what your probability of success is for each club in your bag and base your shot selection according to your skill level. Don't try to be a hero unless you have a legitimate chance of making the shot. Be realistic and play within your limitations. Being in good physical condition is very simple to control, but requires strong discipline to follow a structured stretching and exercise program. A strong flexible body makes it a lot easier to repeat a complex golf swing, especially towards the end of a round of golf, when many out-of-condition golfers are getting physically tired. It's a simple choice. Either get - and stay - in shape, or pay the consequences by shooting higher scores. The mental game is the simplest variable to control if you know how. It requires the total realization 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 to play in the zone at your full potential. Golf is a funny game in that it has its share of ups and downs, which vary from hole to hole and from day to day. The most important variables that you can control are your attitude and state of mind. If you control your attitude and always keep your cup half full, it's a lot easier to put up with the emotional roller coaster of golf. A positive attitude allows you to remain confident when the golf gods turn against you and gives your subconscious a chance to figure out what is happening mechanically. If you reduce the variables, you will have more fun playing golf and shoot lower scores. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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."
