For the past 21 years with my 4 C’s Program, I have been helping golfers overcome their mental stumbling blocks that keep them from playing at their personal best. The four areas that golfers want to improve the most are; Control, Concentration, Consistency and Confidence. All four of these areas involve your thoughts and emotional reactions. Without positive thoughts and emotions you will create stressful situations that will sabotage your round.
Using your mind correctly is the key to great golf. Most golfers spend their time trying to perfect the physical swing and view the mental game as a last resort. It is only when you accept that you know how to swing the club that you can trust yourself to play well. Of course there will be miss hits. No round of golf was ever perfectly executed. The challenge of the game is to do the best you are able and to accept the results.
The golf swing is a very complicated maneuver using many different muscle groups, at times moving in opposing directions. World-class golfers know that this complex movement cannot be accomplished successfully by conscious thought about how to swing the golf clubs.
Your subconscious mind controls the movements of your physical body. Peak performance is obtained when golfers trust their subconscious mind to swing the golf club automatically without trying to make something happen.
If there is a secret to golf, it is using your two minds in the proper sequence. To determine the yardage, strength of the wind, landing area, and which club to use are functions of the problem solving, analytically conscious mind. Swinging the club easily and effortlessly for the best timing and tempo is the result of relaxing that thinking mind, and allowing the subconscious mind to access the programming you have put into it.
To learn how to move from your thinking conscious mind into your allowing subconscious mind to access your peak performances for lower scores and more fun, contact Joan at 828.696.2547.
