There’s plenty of things you can do to improve your golf mental game, you’ve already taken the first step by realising that you DO NEED to improve your mental game. There are THOUSANDS of golfers who don’t believe that their mind has ANYTHING to do with their golf! Once you start doing even a LITTLE golf mental training, you will be beating these guys hands down and you will chuckle as you listen to them ‘self talk’ themselves out of a win.
A great place to start would be to read ‘Golf Is Not A Game of Perfect’ by Bob Rotella.
If you find that this book has sparked your interest even further, then your next step would be to take an online golf mind training program. The one I use is ‘Golf Mental Training Program’ by Wade Pearse.
It is an EXCELLENT program, I researched several before I decided to buy it and I haven’t looked back since. It has given me SO much confidence in my game and I don’t stress about the bad shots AT ALL anymore, instead, I just look at each shot as a separate challenge.
There are lots of great golf mental tips and you would be surprised at how often some part of the program will pop into your mind out of your subconscious when you are playing golf and that’s the aim of training your mind for golf, you don’t CONSCIOUSLY think of things, your UNCONSCIOUS mind takes care of everything.
It has golf audio sessions, NLP tehniques, golf hypnosis downloads, golf mental game videos and is overall a very, very thorough program that deals with all aspects of your mental golf game.
I’m very comfortable in recommending it to you.
Good luck and I hope it all goes well.
