Then you translate this thought using your senses,\u00a0 (seeing, hearing, and feeling) by <i>picturing<\/i> it in your mind or imagining how it would feel. Then you practice physically.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to learn a skill is to practice at first without looking for a result.\u00a0The best way to learn the golf swing or a swing change is to practice the movement by itself, without hitting balls.\u00a0Too often, golfers take a lesson, and expecting a miracle, go right out on the golf course to play.\u00a0As soon as there is a miss-hit, the golfer begins to &#8220;fix&#8221; his swing, or revert back to the &#8220;old swing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Every golf swing is the result of the information you put into your mind.\u00a0When a golf swing results in a missed shot, it is the mental preparation that needs to be corrected, not the swing itself.<\/p>\n<p>Once the swing motion has been learned, the golfer must learn to trust that he knows how to swing the club.\u00a0Trusting in this knowledge will allow the golfer to move to the next level. If you are always looking for the &#8220;perfect swing&#8221; or the &#8220;secret&#8221; to the golf swing while you are on the golf course, you will always be rehearsing and won\u2019t get into the game.\u00a0You are playing &#8220;golf swing&#8221;\u00a0not the game of golf.\u00a0If people in show business didn\u2019t trust their ability to perform, there wouldn\u2019t be any opening nights.\u00a0Every time you play golf, rehearsal is over and it is time to play on &#8220;the golf course stage&#8221; by trusting your\u00a0learned abilities and your own golf game.<\/p>\n<p><em>Improve your golf game now by listening to PMI self-hypnosis CDs in the privacy of your own home.
