Spectacular finishes mark final golf championships

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Joan

Week after week exciting endings are happening in the final 2011 golf tournaments. Lexi Thompson, a 16-year-old Florida high school junior rewrote the record books when she shot a final round 2-under par to win the Navistar LPGA Classic by 5 strokes. She became the youngest player in the history of the LPGA to win a tournament. She also holds the record for being the youngest player to ever qualify for the US Women’s Open Championship. She was 12 years old.

Keenan Bradley, best known as (LPGA Tour player) Pat Bradley’s nephew, was five shots behind with only three holes to play after he made a triple bogey after hitting his chip shot across the 15th green and into the water. The 25-year-old played himself back into contention with back-to-back birdies forcing Jason Dufner into the 3-hole playoff. Bradley birdied the 16th hole in the playoff and won the final major of the season, the PGA Championship at the Atlanta Athletic Club. He has been a PGA Tour member for less than a year. His world ranking went from 108th in the world to 29th.

The 2011 Soldheim Cup at Killeen Castle, Ireland finished last Sunday in a dramatic ending that had everyone holding their breath. It was the classic story of an underdog team winning in the last few holes. The favored Americans led by one point going into the finishing holes of the final three singles matches. Suzann Pettersen started the European comeback. She was 1-down to Michele Wie with 3 holes to play. She birdied all three and pulled out the win on the final hole.  In the 2nd to last singles, Caroline Hedwall was 2-down with 2 holes to play against Ryann O’Toole. She won both to pick up ½ point for the Europeans. Azahara Munoz beat Angela Stanford 1-up in the final match to clinch the final score of 15-13 over the Americans in the last 35 minutes of play. Hedwall and Munoz were both captain’s picks!

And who could forget the drama going on at the same time across the ocean in the Fed Ex playoffs at Eastlake to determine the best player of the year. Bill Haas and Hunter Mahan, both 29, battled their emotions in a 3-hole playoff for the title. In a nail biting scenario both traded missed shots and then miraculous recovery shots. Hass’ splash shot on the par-4 17th hole will be replayed for years to come as perhaps the most sensational since Tiger’s chip-in at the Masters. Bill Haas’ approach shot hit on the bank and rolled down into the water. Hunter Mahan was already on the green. Haas blasted his shot out like a bunker shot and it spun to a dead stop less than 3-feet from the flagstick. Mahan missed his birdie putt and Haas made his par putt to tie the hole. On the 3rd playoff hole Mahan made bogey and Hass made par to win the FedExCup and the $11.44 million prize money. Hass is the first player in his 20’s to win the Cup.

And the drama continues with the President’s Cup, captained by Fred Couples to be played the week of November14th at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club, Australia.  After his win, Bill Haas was picked by Couples for the U.S. Team. His father, Jay is a captain’s assistant.

For consistency, anchor your best shots with emotion

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Joan

When I was meditating this morning, memories of long ago golf shots surfaced. I pictured the first time I visualized a shot that came off exactly as I had imagined it. I was 10 yards behind a 30-foot evergreen tree next to the green. I chose my wedge and pictured the ball flying up over the tree and on to the green. I was thrilled that it happened the way I imagined it. I have never forgotten the feeling and image even though it was over 45 years ago! Then I remembered my first hole-in-one where I was playing in a M-G. I focused on the flagstick and hit my shot directly over the flag. The ball backed up and fell into the cup. That was 18 years ago! Then I remembered scoring a double eagle with a driver and 6-iron which was even more exciting than the holes-in-one.

And there are many, many other memories of successful shots that have given me the confidence to know that I can execute them successfully.

How do I remember these long-ago shots so easily? Visualization + emotion.

When you go to the movies you not only see the picture, you hear the sound, and you feel the emotion of the scene. The more emotionally powerful the scene, the more memorable it is. Your subconscious mind doesn’t differentiate between negative (feeling bad) and positive (feeling good) emotions. It will anchor the events that are more highly charged emotionally and will recall them easily.

After your round how many mishits do you remember and reinforce by talking about them? And how many good shots do you remember and reinforce? Which ones are you installing more powerfully into your subconscious memory bank?

Decide now to anchor with good heartfelt emotion only those that you wish to repeat. Talking about missed shots only soothes your ego looking for relief from the emotional distress. Did you notice Novak Djokovic last week’s winner in the US Tennis Open shaking his hand as a physical signal to his mind and body to let go thinking about a shot he hit out?  

Reinforcing your best shots will guarantee that your subconscious mind will send those visualizations to your muscles for a repeat performance. For easy recall, anchor your successful shots with a strong internal feeling, and with a physical signal such as a fist pump.

Play great golf without collapsing under pressure

Posted on September 6, 2011 by Joan

As we near the end of the summer, the USGA, country clubs and golf clubs are holding their championships. If you are going to play in a tournament where you want to play your best, do you know how to keep from folding under the pressure?

It is important to determine what makes you feel the pressure. What are the thoughts in your mind that are causing you to feel pressure? Having a good mental game means changing your thoughts that would put more pressure on your performance. Do any of the following interfere with your ability to play at your peak performance level?

  • Do you get nervous when you are concerned with how others view you or your game?
  • Do you get nervous when you are too psyched up to win?
  • Do you get nervous when you think about having to make a shot/a putt?
  • Do you get nervous thinking about a similar shot you missed in the past?
  • Do you get nervous when you are in a hazard?

Jim Flick, a Top 100 PGA teacher says: “The game of golf begins in the mind: more than athletic ability, more than technique, more than practice, equipment or anything else. The mindset or attitude you bring to the game determines not only the enjoyment you desire from golf but also the level of proficiency you will achieve.” 

All great players get nervous.  When they are under pressure, their hearts beat faster, muscles tighten, breathing is uneven, their mouths are dry, they have butterflies in their stomachs and sometimes their hands shake just like amateur golfers. It is important to learn how to deal with these changes in your physiological system.

Tom Kite said, “It is a very positive thing, being nervous. It means you care, and it allows you to do great things if you know how to direct it.”

And Tommy Bolt described it as; “It is okay to have butterflies in your stomach as long as they are flying in formation.” 

Here are some ways the pros use to control their nerves:

1. Slow down your thinking, your pace, and your pre-shot routine.  “The more you hurry in golf, the worse you probably will play, which leads to even greater pressure and nervousness,” said Nick Faldo.

2. Slow down your heart rate to regain muscle feel. Use deep breathing, humming, whistling, stretching, shaking your wrists, or enjoying the scenery.

3. Think positive thoughts. Focus your thoughts and mental pictures on where you want the ball to go, not where you don’t want it to go. Your body will produce the last mental picture you have in your brain.

4. Stay in the present. Use your pre-shot routine to become focused on your target once you are over the ball, rather than on technique or possible results.

5. Keep it simple. Keep your swing thoughts simple. The less you have to deal with the better. Most amateurs don’t know what goes wrong when they hit a poor shot. In competition it is better to focus on tempo, rhythm, target and basic strategy instead of getting involved with swing mechanics. Use the swing you have that day to shoot the best possible score you can.

6. Keep the game in perspective. It is after all, a game that we play for fun. After you leave the golf course the missed shots won’t be half as important as you made them out to be. Putting golf in its proper perspective to the rest of your life can relax your mind and body, and help you put your best possible swing on the ball.

Jack Nicklaus said, “Being nervous is an important, positive event. It allows you to do great things if you control it rather than letting it control you.”

Be ready for that pressure putt with these 5 actions

Posted on September 2, 2011 by Joan

Putting is a game within a game. It is the part of the game where the ball never leaves the ground. It is the only sport where the ball finishes below ground.

Putting is an art form that requires you to create in your mind the path the ball will travel. Then you stroke the ball along that imaginary line with an artful stroke of gentleness or firmness depending on the conditions.

To putt successfully it is imperative that you trust your inner creativeness. Trust is more important than training when it comes to putting.

The better you become as a golfer, the more you will realize the important part that putting plays in scoring. Up to 40-50% of your score can be played out on the greens. Putting is the great equalizer in the game of golf.

Golfers miss putts because of the following reasons:

  1. Lack of trust: thinking too much about how to swing the putter
  2. Lack of decision: becoming tentative and indecisive
  3. Lack of focus: getting emotionally involved in the fear of missing

As with all mental training, it is important to train yourself in mental techniques to keep these negative thoughts from starting. Golfers know what to do to putt well, but when they get emotionally involved they get distracted. Here are some strategies to practice for overcoming the mental pressure:

  1. Take deep, deep breaths through the diaphragm. Hold the breath as long as you can and then exhale fully. This will slow down the controlling left brain thinking activity and begin to relax all the muscles in the body.
  2. Visualize a safe place where you feel calm. When you begin to feel the pressure, imagine yourself rocking in a hammock, relaxing in a hot tub, at the beach, or other place in your imagination where you feel calm and relaxed.
  3. Treat all putts the same. Keep your focus on each putt instead of putting pressure on yourself to play for a score. Use the identical pre-shot routine for a one-foot putt as you do for a 30-foot putt.
  4. Picture the hole in your imagination. Since you are not looking at the hole when you putt, it is imperative that you have a good visual of where the hole is, and the line the ball will take to get there.
  5. Enjoy putting. Be enthusiastic about wanting to putt. Know that you are going to enjoy putting a good roll on the ball, no matter what the results.

If you use these strategies and find that you are still feeling pressure from putting, call Joan for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.

How can I overcome the first tee jitters?

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Joan

Performance anxiety begins on the first tee when every shot counts. Anxiety about what might go wrong causes tight, tense muscles, which then produce off-line shots.  To be confident on the first tee, you have to be thinking positively, be relaxed and trust your golf swing.

Everyone participating in sports has anxiety at some time. You feel anxious because you lack confidence and then project what might happen. The most important thing you can do to relieve anxiety is to stay in the moment and let go of the outcome of your shot.  Keep your swing thoughts simple. The less you have to deal with, the more centered you will be.

Monitor the self-talk chatter in your mind. The banter heard on the first tee is an indication of the doubts going on in golfers’ minds. Golfers set themselves up for failure with excuses such as, “I haven’t played in a week” (so don’t expect me to play well),  or “My handicap just went up” (because I am playing terribly). This kind of negative self-talk will sabotage your golf game by raising your anxiety level. Instead, give yourself permission to play well by doing the best you can.

Begin to see the game (and yourself) the way you would like it to be by using the following mental golf techniques:

1.  Slow down your mental merry-go-round by letting go of outside influences.              2.  Bring your focus inward by breathing deeply to create a feeling of relaxation.           3.  Use your pre-shot routine to bring you into the process of creating a good tee shot. 4.  Adopt the attitude that the tee shot is easy since you use the club with the biggest   head and you can tee the ball up.                                                                                    5. Affirm that you believe in yourself and in your ability, and that you are going to really enjoy hitting the first shot of the day!

How can I eliminate negative thoughts that enter my mind?

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Joan

Negative thoughts come up from your unconscious mind where everything you have ever heard, seen, felt, tasted, or smelled is recorded.Your unconscious mind works like a computer. It records everything without judging or analyzing it. When you encounter a situation, your computer mind will bring up an experience from your memory bank that is the same or nearly the same. For instance, if you are facing a difficult shot, and your computer mind brings up a negative memory of a past shot that you missed on a similar looking hole, you will experience a negative thought.

If you emotionalize missed shots by getting angry, the program becomes stronger in your permanent memory bank and will surface time and time again, thus causing a series of missed shots. This is why it is so important to let go of the energy associated with missed shots. To stock your memory bank with good shot memories, reinforce and record them with a positive feeling of elation and success.  Look at the powerful success energy that golfers record with a fist pump.

To release and replace a negative thought:
1. Acknowledge it as part of your past history.
2. Think again!
3. Choose to release the thought and image.
4. Step away from the ball.
5. Breathe deeply to release the thought and to relax your body.
6. Create a positive thought or mental picture of the shot you desire.
7. Play your golf game by choice, not by chance.

Change your beliefs, Change your golf game

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Joan

Tiger Woods has announced that he will be back on Tour competing next week in the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone CC in Akron, Ohio. After 3 months of rehab on his left knee he has just recently started hitting golf balls. Is he mentally and physically strong enough to compete at the highest levels?

It is now two years since I had bi-lateral knee surgery; the total replacement of both knees. The pain in my knees before and after surgery has kept me from playing golf all that time. Because of my love of the game, and like Tiger because I have medical approval, I decided in May that I would begin to play once a week and tolerate the pain. Although Tiger hasn’t played in tournaments in a few months, I can commiserate with his situation and wonder how his knee situation will affect his performances.

Distractions

With practicie and play I began a process of mentally remembering my swing and body coordination. On the golf course I would remember my swing faults and notice when they would cause errant shots. Like most golfers I would analyze them and attempt to change them in my practice sessions and on-course. I didn’t lack confidence as I had the experience of remembering winning. But the pain was my main distraction as it caused physical tiredness. My main goals were to just finish 18-hole rounds. Last week in the extreme heat, instead of thinking about my swing, I focused on the things that I teach; rhythm, focus on the shot at hand, visualization, a consistent pre-shot & post-shot routine, relaxation, and deep breathing. My mind and pain no longer distracted me and I played in the zone, with my mind-body-emotions in sync, enjoying shooting an easy 80.

Transformation

A transformation is a complete change in something or someone. To move into the zone state requires a psychological transformation of your thoughts, beliefs, and resulting emotions so you can play unconsciously. Here are some examples of recent pro golfer transformations.

Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson, a magician around the greens has played in 17 British Opens finishing no higher than 11th place. His high flying shots were not conducive to the low flying shots necessary in the wind on the European links courses. This year he went to The Open having changed his beliefs about not winning. At Royal St. George’s, Sandwich, England he stated, “I’m  trying to pretend like it’s my first time here and to appreciate playing the ball on the ground and enjoy the challenge of links golf. I feel excited to. . .learn this style.” He finished 3rd in greens in regulation. Phil said, “I hit some of the best shots I’ve hit in the wind. Not just today but really all week.” He reinforced his new belief by smiling throughout the tournament in spite of the 35mph wind or sideways rain. He finished 3 strokes behind the winner Darren Clarke. Mickelson said, “That was some of the most fun I’ve had competitively.”

Yani Seng

22-year-old Taiwan Yani Seng, just won the women’s LPGA British Open and became the youngest player ever to win five major tournaments. She successfully defended her title in spectacular fashion with a final round 69, 16 under par, four strokes ahead of American Brittany Lang. “It is a great honor to win the British Open again,” said Tseng. “There is so much history attached to this course. I felt more comfortable this year because I learning all the time. My mental game is so much better.” When Yani stopped pushing herself to win more tournaments she released the self-imposed pressure and was able to enjoy playing once again.

Darren Clarke

At age 42, Darren Clarke is a strong ball-striker who was labeled an underachiever because he had never won a major tournament. He was ranked 111th in the world going into the Open Championship. He was emotionally down after shooting a 75 in the last round of the Scottish Open. Bob Rotella, his mental coach helped him to clear his mind of these mental distractions. They focused on Darren putting by letting go of thinking and trying. Putting well affected the rest of his game so he could play unconsciously. It was obvious that he was a transformed golfer as he won the Open 3 shots ahead of Phil. Clarke said, “I want to keep going. I still feel as if I can compete with the best players in the world.”

How can I hit the ball so well on the range, be confident, and then play poorly on the golf course?

Posted on July 21, 2011 by Joan

It is likely you prepare for your shots differently in the two places, but expect the same results. On the wide-open range, most golfers are not concerned with the mental discipline that is required for scoring. Then on the golf course, the score becomes the focus and the wonderful tempo and relaxed swing is left on the range.

Performance anxiety begins on the first tee. To be confident and play your best, you have to be relaxed and trust your golf swing.  Deep breathing will help you relax. It takes considerable practice to be able to trust your swing mechanics. Hit balls with your eyes closed to experience trusting your swing.  Also, practice the way you play. Train your brain by using your pre-shot routine with every shot on the range until it becomes a habit. If your practice routine and your on-course play routine are the same, your results will be similar.

Another thing to consider is your alignment and set-up. If you set up incorrectly, even a great swing won’t produce a good shot.  Every shot on the course is hit from a new position, which is very different from hitting from the same spot on the range. Lay parallel clubs down on the ground to give your mind a visual image of the target line. Always pick a target for each shot so you will get feedback on how you are doing. To repeat good shots anchor them in your subconscious mind with the wonderful inside feeling of hitting a solid shot.

July 2011 Current Golf News

Posted on July 10, 2011 by Joan

The USGA Women’s Open Championship may wind up today on the East Course at The Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, Colo. As of this writing, they are in their fifth weather delay.  Annika Sorenstam won her first major there in 1995. The East Course has wide fairways with large Donald Ross dome shaped greens. The USGA has toughened up the course with deep thick rough in two cuts bordering  the fairways. This course is among just 12 golf courses in North America and the Caribbean to have earned a 5-star rating from Golf Digest.

The tournament course is playing at 7,030 yards, the longest in Women’s Open history. Because the course is over 6,000 feet in elevation, the golf ball travels 10% further in the rarefied air. It is situated on Cheyenne Mountain and has spectacular mountain views. The greens are very difficult to read, and generally break away from the adjacent mountains.

I have wonderful memories of staying at the luxurious 5-Star Broadmoor Hotel and playing the West Course.  At 6,800 feet, the West Course is higher in elevation than the East Course. The fairways are tighter with more tree-lined holes. It has more doglegs and steeply-angled greens than the East Course. There are huge sand bunkers and there are water hazards on three of the par 3s.

I remember standing on the tee and not being able to see the fairway as it doglegged down the mountain. It was a terrific thrill to hit a tee shot that seemed to soar upwards forever and then disappear somewhere way down the mountain. Putting on the greens was a different matter.

We were told that all putts break away from the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun. While we constantly looked up to the tower for direction, the greens didn’t always follow this local rule. The women playing in the Open are also having trouble reading the greens. The Shrine is an 80-foot observation tower at 8,136 feet on the side of Cheyenne Mountain that overlooks Colorado Springs, The Broadmoor, the Garden of the Gods and the Pikes Peak area.

The trip to Colorado Springs was also memorable for our white knuckle car trip up the switchback road to Pikes Peak. Looking out the car window the mountain seemed to drop off just a few feet away. The higher we drove up to the 14,000 foot summit, the more severe the drop.  In July the summit was still covered with snow.

Katherine Lee Bates was a professor of English history at Wellesley College who was teaching in the summer session at Colorado College when she made the horse and mule carriage trip to the summit. She was so enamored with the view at the peak she wrote the lines to “America the Beautiful.” It was July 22, 1893.

Develop confidence by managing your emotions

Posted on July 4, 2011 by Joan

Summer tournaments are in full swing. By now you have experienced an increase or decrease in your handicap from the beginning of the golf season.

You may have experienced the disappointment of making a large number on a hole, of not playing to your potential, three-putting, penalty shots, or losing a match. On the bright side you may have experienced a chip-in, birdies, low scores, playing well with friends or winning in a tournament.

What do these two scenarios have in common? Emotions. Your performances are directly related to your emotions.

It is an interesting facet of the brain that we remember perceived good and bad things that happen in our lives. We remember them because of the intense emotions attached to the experiences.  These events are anchored into our subconscious mind for immediate recall. How easy is it to recall a hole-in-one or other emotional shot?

In weekly tournament play at my club I am always amazed at the golfers who are constantly anchoring  miss-hits with sabotoging emotions into their subconscious mind. In NLP we call this negative anchoring. Your subconscoius mind records everything literally and does not discern between negative and positive emotions.

Yelling at your ball reinforces your low self-esteem and lack of confidence. If you “talk” to your ball in flight and tell it not to go there (water, rough, bunker, etc.) you are putting emotion into what you do not want. The subconsious then records this message visually seeing the ball end up where you don’t want it to go.

And you say, “The pros talk to their balls al the time.” The difference is that the pros are reinforcing their original plan for the ball to go to a certain target, not where they don’t want it to go. They are not afraid of where it will wind up because they have practiced every possible shot and have confidence in executing it.

Golfers who talk to their balls are afraid they will not be able to successfully get out of a challenging situation. This fear then creates anxiety about the score.

And so you see that your emotions start with your thoughts. If your expectation is to hit a certain shot well and you don’t do it you will be frustrated, disappointed, humiliated. Instead of judging your result, determine what the thought was that created the miss. You always get what your last thought was.

Learn from your miss-hits so you won’t repeat them. This will release the emotion.

When you hit a good shot, always reinforce it in your subconscious with praise and a good feeling of success. It can be anchored with a smile, a fist pump or other energetic motion, but it is basically an internal process to build confidence. Whether you reinforce it with an outward expression or not depends on your personality.

Release fear thoughts for good results

1. Confidence allows us to bypass feelings of fear, providing us with the strength to face new challenges.

2. Don’t make choices out of fear. Develop confidence by practicing shots you are afraid of.

3. Use recovery shots as an opportunity to excel. Develop a plan for the best possible outcome.

4. Let go of fear thoughts. Focus on creating each shot to the best of your ability, and accept the result.

5. Step away and take a mental mulligan, if you have a fear thought prior to hitting a shot.

6. Reframe your thought process by thinking about what you love about hitting the shot.

Good results come from good thoughts

1. No one thinks in your mind but you. Control your golf game by controlling your thoughts.

2. Practice having a positive attitude. Golf is a game where it is necessary to maintain composure, patience and an attitude of loving the experience of doing your best.

3. Your beliefs and attitudes effect your emotional level. Reframe your thoughts into believing you can recover successfully from anywhere on the golf course.

4. Anchor your best shots with positive emotions. Feel the joy within of success. Then it will be easier to repeat the shot you want. Anchoring your poor shots with negative emotions will send a message to your subconscious that you want to repeat those shots.

5. Self-confidence builds from small successes. Every day recognize what you have accomplished.
