The Golfers Mind
"The inner game has always been the last frontier in golf. Why? Because the source of all excellence is within, and because that's usually the last place we look for it."

How Does Hypnosis or NLP Work? Can Hypnotic Training
And NLP Improve My Game? You BET!
Imagine you wanted to lose some weight, just for a minute even if you are the fit and healthy size you would really like to be now, because I don’t know you so you really, for all I know, could be couldn’t you?
Now imagine that you had tried many times to give up those fatty calorie packed food by using sheer will power alone, employing your conscious mind to "No, I am going to resist!" and yet, sooner or later, resistance crumbles and in goes the double choc chip muffin!
Now imagine a world where you are the fit and healthy person you really want to be.
See yourself in your minds eye and feel what it feels like to be the way you want
to be. Hear what people are saying about you, revel in the compliments and feel how
confident you are. Knowing this now what would it be like if you had done this without
sheer, useless temporary gut-
You know those days on the golf course where you are really fighting with yourself and your swing mechanics. When you are consciously “TRYING!” as hard as you can, like the gut wrenching willpower to resist bad food, you employ it now to try and force yourself to swing a certain way that you hope – PRAY – will keep the ball straight. Yet alas it does not work.
You see, you know, you cannot force anything for long before it all breaks down. Like taking a rubber band and forcing it apart with two fingers. You can do it but it takes effort and eventually the force cannot sustain the pressure and it gives in.
Now imagine you are playing the kind of golf you believe you are capable of, deep down,
when you are really hitting it well and golf seems easy, effortless and you play with a smooth rhythm and calmness, confidence.
And imagine too, that playing this golf does not take effort or force. It just seems
to come from a quiet inner calm where the instructions on how to move your body so
that the club-
Now you can let force go. You can remember to forget willpower and just allow thoughts of natural ability and inner programming to take over and as you do this more and more you will find yourself, magically, playing the golf of your dreams and getting utmost pleasure from your game. You are happy and fulfilled, proud of your performances and your friends are not sure where you got these new found skills of calmness, confidence and great ball striking from?
You see, this is what NLP and Hypnosis can deliver for you. But you really don’t need to take my word for it after all I am not trying to sell you a program I invented, just tell you about technologies that really exist and do work. If you want proof then you can just look toward Tiger Woods who has trained extensively in various forms of hypnosis.
If that’s not enough then just look toward virtually every top athlete and you will find that they are being trained using technologies like NLP and Hypnosis. Does it work? You bet.
It is becoming more and more common now for mid and even high handicap golfers to get down to single figure golf by using mind power interventions such as NLP for Golf and Hypnotic techniques for golfers.
Wishing You Blue Skies and 65’s.
Warm regards,
