I’m sure, like me, you’ve stood on the tee and asked yourself ‘Where’s the fairway’? There are some holes that literally have huge carries, perhaps over heather or water. Some holes seem to have a sea of bunkers and then there are the trees, oh, the trees! It would seem that you have to just hit and hope, but does it have to be that way?
Why not actually pick a focus point? Choose a treetop in the distance, maybe a chimney stack or something on the horizon and set up to that point. Then simply swing along that line. Will it ALWAYS work? Well, there are many other influences but there is a much greater chance of you hitting the ball where you want it to go by ‘narrowing your focus’. Whenever we attempt to ‘steer’ the ball, the subconscious tends to take over and do what we are attempting not to do.

Do you struggle with your emotions on a golf course? Anger, disappointment, feeling annoyed after a bad shot?
The Mind Zone session on golf psychology is great for learning simple techniques to help with your golf. Imagine if you can overcome your fears of that bad shot or bad hole, and improve your own mental state to ultimately play better golf.
The session will help you to learn how to MAINTAIN your ATTENTION for the whole round, enabling you to have a CALM mind during your rounds of golf. If you can keep your emotions in check, think clearly and make great decisions, then that will only enhance your confidence in your ability to perform well, leading to better scores.
Remember, you are human!
Your brain is your control centre, not your muscles (despite what people often say about ‘muscle memory’). Your swing and stroke come from the instructions that you give your brain – so why not try to improve how you think on the course?
As you know, is not all about the physical swing (for that we’d certainly recommend lessons with your local PGA Pro) but is made up of several factors, one of the main ones being that phenomenal piece of kit you have ‘between your ears’.
Bookings are now being taken so please share this with your own club pro or General Manager. Why not use the evening as a fund-raiser for your Captain’s Charity?
