How many times after a missed shot have you realized what you had done to cause it? Taking the time to focus and prepare mentally produces the results you desire.<\/p>\n
Focusing on your score accomplishes the reverse effect<\/strong> of what you are trying to accomplish. When you think about your score you are keeping your focus from giving the shot your full attention. Your main objectives are hitting your target and putting the ball in the hole.\u00a0 Do not become attached to the results of your actions. You know how well you can play with the result you should expect. When that doesn\u2019t happen, frustration can negatively affect your mindset and game. Let go of expectations and any attachment to the outcome.<\/p>\n Give every shot your full intention and attention!<\/strong><\/p>\n It is my belief that all missed golf shots are due to mental errors. The key to playing consistently is to prepare your mind 100% the same way every time so your results are consistent. Your pre-shot routine is the tool to bring your focus into the present. Practice your pre-shot routine on the range until it becomes habitual and you don\u2019t need to think about it. This will turn your preparation over to your subconscious mind for allowing your body to perform effortlessly according to the information you have given it.<\/p>\n When you let go, everything is effortless. Your thoughts are no longer producing emotions that move you out of your desired focus.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n Instead of focusing on what you want to avoid, or upon the results, spend more time visualizing and imagining what you do want to focus on. Practice being in the state of mind where nothing exists except your awareness and hitting your target.<\/p>\n Ways to focus on your mental pre-shot routine! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Play “in the zone” with Joan<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Entrain Your Heart & Mind for Peak Performances<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Improve your concentration and mindset to play focused golf by listening to PMI compact discs in the privacy of your own home.
