If you find this newsletter helpful, please tell your friends, associates and golf instructor. Thanks for helping us grow. "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" If you are new to my newsletter, welcome aboard. My mission is to help you lower your sc ore 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. Once you have done your homework, you will have laid the foundation to have one of the best mental games around. The next step is to continue to work on improving your mental game (polish your wheel) until these insights become an instinctive part of your ment al makeup. 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 s erious look at them. Play well and keep polishing your wheel, Michael Anthony P.S.

GOLFERS LOCKER ROOM BULLETIN BOARD I am pleased to announce that you can listen to my mental golf tips weekly at GolfSmarterTips Podcast.

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 ar e 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 c up 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 new book Michael Anthony's Mental Golf Tips, which contains 75 of my previous 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 critic al 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."
