In mystical stories, a genie is a magic spirit who serves the person who calls it forward. Genies are very much like your subconscious mind because they give you exactly what you ask for.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Which part of your mind is playing the game of golf when you are in the zone?<\/i><\/p>\n
Your subconscious mind. If you let go of control of thinking in your conscious mind and allow your subconscious mind to swing the club you will access your peak performances without the effort. \u00a0Everyone knows how to do this because it is a form of daydreaming.<\/p>\n
Golfers think they have to control all the aspects of the game. Their worries, judgments, criticism, and thoughts about themselves keep them focused in their ego centered conscious mind instead of allowing the subconscious mind to \u201cJust Do It.\u201d<\/p>\n
How do I stay in this mental state where golf is so easy? <\/i><\/p>\n
A 30-handicap woman played the front nine in one over par. At the turn she saw her husband and excitedly told him all about her extraordinary game. On the back nine she tried to duplicate her miraculous feat and shot 54. By thinking and analyzing, she took herself right out of the easy, trusting mode of playing.<\/p>\n
\u201cStaying in the present is the key to any golfer\u2019s game. Once you start thinking about a shot you just messed up or what you have to do on the next nine to catch somebody, you\u2019re lost.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0 — Paul Azinger<\/p>\n
Staying in this mental state where you are calm, have a heightened sense of intuition, mental clarity, intensified concentration, and are totally focused on shot-making, requires that you stay in the present. Here are some mental keys to practice for staying in the zone for an entire round or successive rounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I\u2019m in a zone, I don\u2019t think<\/b> about the shot or the wind or the distance or the gallery or anything. I just pull a club and swing.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0 — Mark Calcavecchia<\/p>\n
