Fix Your Golf Swing Without Working On Your Swing

Possible?.. You bet!

I recently had a Division 1 golfer come by to see me about improving his focus on the golf course.

We worked on three things:

  • Connecting with Balance feedback to prevent losing the swing to balance.
  • Finding the pictures the subconscious uses to make the golf swing and then modifying them to improve his shots.
  • Using the above two elements together within his routine to lock his mind into the present and play each shot from his subconscious mind with zero distractions... In other words, to move himself into the zone for each shot... And then snap right back out until he was ready to hit the next shot.

The result?
  • Where he could only fade the ball, he left playing the ball both ways with pinpoint control.
  • Every club was not only more accurate, but longer as well... Adding as much as 50 yards to his average drive.
  • The knowledge to feel and immediately correct any bugs that tried to creep into his golf swing.
  • The ability to move the ball either way from a neutral stance, using only balance and visualization to shape the shot.
  • The ability to hit any shot in the book... With his eyes closed... Almost more accurately than with his eyes open!
  • The ability to swing at any shot up to 120% knowing he would never lose the shot right or left.
We never worked on his golf swing!

There was NO golf Psychology involved.

There was NO hypnosis involved.

This is NOT NLP.

So what did we work on?

  • We worked on awareness of the processes that the subconscious mind ALREADY uses to create and control motor movement in the body.
  • We connected with those processes consciously.
  • We taught the conscious mind how to help to tweak those processes to improve mental and physical efficiencies during each shot.
  • We added this process to his routine.
  • We boosted the golfer's confidence about 1000%.

We were working on Bio-Visual Focus.

So I have only one question...

If I can get those results and never address the swing itself... WHY would anyone spend time working on their golf swing?

You don't have to...

After 25 years of research to end the frustration of inconsistency on the golf course and inconsistent improvement, I not only solved the problem... I unlocked the hidden secret of golf.

Ask yourself if you would like to see the result my golfer saw...

If so, I explain how it works here: Unlocking golf's greatest secret.

Check it and let me know your thoughts... If you dare!

Hit'm well.

Does Your Golf Swing Slip Away On The Golf Course?

Maybe you've been here...

You know you have a big match coming up this weekend, so you spend nights at the driving range refining your golf swing. You practice your short game and your putting. You know in your mind that you can play better than you have so far this season and this week you're going to be ready.

Although you were nervous, you pulled off a great drive on the first hole. On the golf course, you're playing like a well oiled machine. It's the best round yet and then...

A routine shot goes a little sideways and you try to shrug it off. You scramble and save a bogie, but that's to be expected now and then...

The next drive is a little loose and you get that feeling... Oh no, not again!

Then the approach shot; 100 yards, your favorite distance and chunk!

What the!!!

Have you been there? I think we all have. I've even seen pros chunk seemingly easy shots.

But that doesn't make it any easier to face the rest of your foursome.

The question is: If you're playing well, what suddenly changes to cause this type of breakdown?

What do golfers usually do when this happens? They usually go to the driving range to work it out. Sometimes they have some serious anger to vent. I've seen golfers do some pretty crazy things after experiencing a meltdown on the golf course, none of which could possibly fix the problem.

Why? Because the problem is where they aren't looking. The problem is in their mind.

IT ISN'T A MENTAL PROBLEM THOUGH...

No, it's HOW they are using their mind. Let me explain.

What do you do when that first shot gets a little squirrely? You wake up and try to focus a little more on each shot...

But that seems to make things worse? So where can you turn if your increased focus makes things worse?

You know the feeling...

That's the feeling of despair that haunts golfers because there is nothing left and things are getting worse. That's when many golfers start drinking.

I once saw a golfer shoot a 43 on the front 9, get so drunk he could barely speak and turn in a 31 on the back 9 for a total 74. Unbelievable!

Instead of thinking, he took his mind completely out of the picture and ran on auto-pilot... He quit TRYING to focus and let his mind do it naturally.

You see, when you
try to focus, you actually think more and focus less. Let me explain.

Real focus comes from the subconscious, where
trying to focus makes you think more consciously.

This is important because the subconscious brain controls the body's movement, something the conscious mind can't do very well.

So what should you do? Well I don't recommend getting drunk. It rarely works.

The subconscious controls movement by thinking visually, in pictures. That is the secret of focus, thinking in pictures.

But there's still a problem. If you've tried visualizing your swing or maybe the shot without great results, there is a good reason it may not have worked as good as it should have.

You see, the mind also monitors feedback from the body to make sure that the movement is correct. For visualization to work, it must connect with the body's bio-feedback that the brain is using to moderate its movement.

Sounds complicated, but once you see how it works, it's actually easier than any other way of creating consistently accurate shots on the golf course.

What's even better is that once you get in touch with your Bio-feedback, the corresponding pictures come up automatically because your brain already does this for your normal everyday movement.

The Golf Swing is in the Mind

I just returned from a practice session with a student who plays the mini-tours. Like many golf professionals, his problem is keeping his mind out of the golf swing on the course. I was showing him ways to use his mind differently, but in conjunction with where it should be during the shot. We talked about mental pictures and getting in contact with the feedback the body generates.

After 40 minutes of experimenting with different ways to use the mind to benefit the process, he had an interesting comment. He noticed that in that 40 minutes he didn't hit one shot bad... not one. We never talked about the golf swing, but his was working flawlessly. What I didn't realize was that he expected to hit some bad shots. I know that since his conscious never came into play during that 40 minutes, there was no way to hit a bad shot, and now he knows it too.

Was it golf psychology? No way! That only comes into play between shots. No, I would have to say it was a matter of great focus. Not focus on thoughts but rather pictures created using the body's own feedback system. That feedback and those pictures did two things. They kept his mind from hurting his shots, and the kept his swing working flawlessly. What more can you ask for?

But have you ever heard of a golf teacher who doesn't teach the swing, and doesn't teach psychology?

So the question in your head should be; "Why is golf swing instruction and golf psychology such a big business if better result can be generated without them?"

Oh, it's just how the golf instruction marketing arm of the industry has worked to make you believe that that is what you need...

Feel used yet?

I want you to ponder this for a while. How can you learn the golf swing without golf swing instruction and keep your mind straight on the course without golf psychology?
