Please read "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" at the end of this newsletter. GOLFERS LOCKER ROOM BULLETIN BOARD "Well, I did it. I won the Golf Channel Amateur City of Las Vegas Championship! "My friend told me about the Golf Channel Am Tour a few weeks ago. I figured that the only way I can really test myself was during competitive rounds against opponents striving for the same thing as myself. I joined the Am Tour Championship/Scratch Division and my first event was at my home course of Las Vegas National where Vic teaches. "I opened up shooting 4 over on the front 9 recording a double bogey on #6. Once again, I stepped aside and had a little talk with myself. I thought that I was in the right mental state throughout the round as I listened to you CD on the way to the course. However, after #6, I shot even par and then something happened...I entered the "Zone". I birdied 10, 12, 15 and 17! It was if (and it probably was) my subconscious took over. I shot 72 and won the Championship Division. For me, this is and was a great accomplishment towards my goals for the year. "Mike, thanks for the continued words of support. I know that if I was not "polishing the wheel" of the mental game and studying the Mental Keys and not "polishing" the process with Vic, I would be right where I was a year ago. "Thanks again for everything." -Greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 "Half Full or Half Empty?" The whole goal of the mental game is to create a mental state that optimizes your brain's chemistry, which in turn increases your ability to perform. If you have fear or doubt that you can make a golf shot, you lower your chemistry and decrease your chance of making a successful shot. You can transform your negative emotions into positive ones by creating a mind-set that your glass is always half full. You don't want to play with a glass that is half empty. The liquid is in the middle of the glass, but there can be two different emotions to the same fact. One is positive; the other negative. It is up to you to decide if your glass is 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. The way you create the mind-set that your glass is always half full is to look at how your probability of success influences your emotions on every golf shot you face. If you have an easy shot and you're confident that you can make it, your glass is half full. However, if it’s a very difficult shot, many golfers feel that their glass is half empty and worry about missing the shot. A way around this up-and-down swing of emotions is to select only positive emotions when looking at your probability of making the shot. Even if it’s only 1 in 100 that you can pull the shot off, you have a choice of focusing on the 99% of not making the shot or the 1% of making the shot if everything goes right and expect everything to go right. Your only other choice is to look for a safer shot if one is available. If you decide to go for it, you can raise your chemistry by focusing totally on the 1% 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 if everything goes right and not even think about the 99% probability of not making it. No one is a fortune teller and you don't know what will happen. However, if you train your tape that your glass is always half full and expect to make the shot if everything goes right, you will elevate your chemistry to a very high level. As a result you will make a lot more shots playing with a glass that is half full, instead of half empty. The nice thing about it is that it's your choice and it will reflect in your score. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Super Bonus...
