Concentration!

John Richardson (of BreakParBlueprint) pointed me to this video on Youtube and it's a great lesson in how to control your mind on the golf course.

Nick Faldo was giving a lesson when someone asked

"How do you train concentration?"

That's a fair question because Faldo, in his prime, demonstrated tremendous mental strength.

A little like Tiger today he was often accused of being aloof but the results speak for themselves.  14 majors for Tiger and 6 for Faldo..  In every success story there are clues and here Faldo reveals his mind-set and approach to this key issue.     More...

Golf Visualization: Here's How to Develop it.

We've all been told by the great golf pros that we must visualize our shots before we actually swing through the ball. Jack Nicklaus was famous for his extraordinary visualization skills. He would say that he never made a shot without first visualizing everything about the shot first in his imagination. He would create movies of the flight of the golf ball and have zooms in and out like a camera. He would even play the movie backward from his target or the hole back to where it left his club face!      More...

"Anger or Instant Amnesia?"

While in his prime, Seve Ballesteros was asked during an interview how he keeps from getting angry when he misses a putt or shot. He replied, "Instant amnesia." Instead of getting and remaining angry, Seve merely forgot about it, and went right back to the business of playing golf.

Unfortunately, most golfers get upset or angry when things don't go as they wish while playing a round of golf. To compound matters, golfers tend to carry their anger for several holes or even the entire round after they have made a mistake or missed a putt or shot. Does this happen to you?    More...
