Michael Anthony's Mental Golf Tip Newsletter Issue 238: Wednesday - May 28, 2008 Hi Determined Golfer, If you find this newsletter helpful, please tell your friends, associates and golf instructor. Thanks for helping out. "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" If you are new to my newsletter, welcome aboard. 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. 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 mental 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 serious look at them. Play well and keep polishing your wheel, Michael Anthony P.S. Once you read this section "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" several times, you can skip it in future newsletters and go directly to the "Golfers Locker Room Bulletin Board" for inspiring success stories or updates from me. After several repetitions, just seeing the words "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" will automatically remind you to keep working on improving your mental game. Click for access to my private mental tip archive GOLFERS LOCKER ROOM BULLETIN BOARD I am pleased to announce that you can listen to my mental golf tips weekly at GolfSmarterTips Podcast. Special Announcement I'm pleased to inform you of the SeniorGolfExchange.com. It's a Private Members' Club for Home and Hospitality Exchange - for senior golfers worldwide. Golf travel experiences money can't buy - whether playing or watching. Because they have just launched their exchange program, they are looking for Foundation Members (the ground breakers, pioneers or early adopters ) who won't be put off by the fact they won't yet find hundreds of Members listed. To remove all financial risk for my Newsletter subscribers who take up Foundation Membership on my recommendation to check them out, they will not invoice their Joining Fee until you have successfully arranged your first exchange through them, which will save far more than the $99 Joining Fee. This delayed invoicing of the Joining Fee is in addition to the $0 Annual Subscriptions for the first two years for Foundation Members. The SeniorGolfExchange.com has never allowed this offer to be made before, which is in recognition of the value they place on the quality of my Subscriber List, and the credibility of my recommendation to check them out. I am not receiving any compensation for making this recommendation. I'm doing it to help Graeme Smith, its founder, get his valuable program off the ground. If you want more information about the SeniorGolfEchange.com or would like to take advantage of his generous offer to become one of its Foundation Members, click here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Monkey Mind" If you have read "The Mental Keys" and many of my mental tips or listened to my CD "Polish the Wheel," you have heard me tell you over and over to focus on improving the process and allow the outcome to take care of itself. Part of the process is to play in the present without thinking, especially about the future outcome. By doing this you optimize your brain's chemistry and dramatically increase your ability to perform. If you are fortunate to be able to play in the zone, you know from personal experience the fastest way to lose the zone is to start thinking about the outcome. The quickest way to lower your score is to stop thinking about the outcome, focus on your target and instinctively hit the ball. Since many golfers have been programmed by society to be outcome oriented, here is an image called the "monkey mind" that may help you let go of your propensity to hold onto outcome thinking. In India monkeys are pests and people don't like to have them around. They catch monkeys by making cages with bars just big enough for a monkey's fingers to slip through. Inside the cage they place a shiny object that is very attractive to monkeys. When monkeys see this shiny object, they slide their fingers through the bars to grab it and won't let go. Rather, than letting go of the shiny object to be free, the monkey holds on and gets caught. Your mind is restless and loves to think. When addressing the ball, your mind will think about many things, especially the outcome, if you let it. Start viewing these thoughts as shiny objects. Decide if you want to continue holding onto these shiny objects or let go of them and be free to play on instinct. Instead of holding onto these shiny objects with a "monkey mind," let them go. You can attain control of your mind by constantly striving to let go of your thoughts. You do this by focusing totally on your target and seeing your ball when you hit it. Once you accomplish this, your mind will be free of thoughts and your scores will fall.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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."
