Article by Andrew Fogg
I just seem to keep coming across different versions of what I suspect are a series of articles about hypnosis as a secret weapon for golf and I disagree most strongly with that - now that's a surprise coming from me, the Golf Hypnotist!
Well, I fully agree with the idea of golf hypnosis as a secret weapon for better golf and I support many of the author's opening arguments. If he'd put his name in the article, I'd even go so far as thanking him here.
Anyway, here's some of what he says that I agree with
"Using hypnosis for golf can be your secret weapon on the course. Hypnosis directs your mental focus and harnesses the power of your other-than-conscious. Crystal-clear concentration under pressure is the secret of success of all the great pros….
The remarkable thing is that even though most golfers acknowledge that the game of golf is mainly a mental game almost no one does anything to improve their mental focus."
He even goes on to say some nice things about Milton Erickson - the father of modern hypnosis and the model for much of NLP as well.
So what am I uncomfortable with then? Well, it's the later suggestion that hypnosis can be used and the implication that it should be used in a negative way to somehow spoil your opponent's game. Quoting another of the articles:
"It's great to use hypnosis to improve your own game, but some people take it farther and, let's say, 'help' the rest of the foursome by using hypnosis against them.
When someone uses hypnosis this way, an opponent who's a superior golfer may find themselves somehow shanking the ball, having their drives slice into the rough, making poor club choices, deciding to try to drive the green when they shouldn't, or making any number of other such mistakes."
The article goes on to suggest
"It's up to you to decide the right and wrong of this, but a certain type of hypnosis does give someone the tools to influence their opponent's state of mind in addition to their decisions. Some say 'All's fair in love and war'. Maybe that's true in golf as well."
For me this suggestion goes totally contrary to the spirit of golf and no different than suggesting that you actively seek to use hypnosis to distract or disturb your opponent's play. Apart from any moral consideration, that sort of behaviour is outlawed by Section 1 of the Rules of Golf.

Answer by Stephone
I tried it once for a few days i don't know if it helped me though but looking at the swings can really make you think you can easily do it yourself. Maybe if you stayed with it for a few weeks hopefully it can help your swing mentally.
Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments!
Most golfers are looking for ways to gain an edge or cut their handicap.
Preferably both.
The thing is golf is almost entirely a mental game.
It's a mental battle between yourself and an opponent.
And it's a mental battle within yourself.
That's why many crafty golfers have turned to the power of conversational hypnosis to give them that special advantage.
Either to program themselves for success on the fairway and the greens...OR EVEN to use it as a weapon...
Maybe you've been up against someone who had steely concentration, made few mistakes and wiped the floor with you?
Or perhaps you've played someone else who put you off' by subtly seeding doubt in your mind with their words and then went on to clean up on the scorecard?
The fact is they could well have been using some of the secrets I recently came across in this amazing new course called, "The Power Of Conversational Hypnosis"
It's by maverick hypnotist Igor Ledochowski, the author of the "Deep Trance Training Manual" and a world renowned Hypnotherapist trainer.
It's the most ADVANCED course ANYWHERE on conversational hypnosis.
In fact here's what Oprah Winfrey interviewee, certified Hypnotherapist, and star of the Mental Success inspired hit film "The Secret" says about it...
"I didn't believe this material would be that good, but it turns out to be a breathtaking course on using hypnosis in everyday conversation.
"I've never seen or heard anything this complete, powerful, or convincing.
"I love it."
Dr. Joe Vitale - mrfire.com
Joe has one of the sharpest minds around and he's transformed his life over the years from sleeping in a car with a weight problem to being a multi-millionaire, a movie celebrity and uber healthy.
He knows what he's talking about when it comes to programming your mind for success by using hypnosis...
What's even better for you is this course is being released for a limited time as a digital course so you'll be able to access it immediately.
* It comes with 16 Full CDs (as MP3s)
* The Full Transcripts + Manual (620+ Pages)
* The How To Master Conversational Hypnosis Cheat Sheets
* The How To Destroy Resistance With Stories Cheat Sheets
Each 'CD session' comes with a set of simple exercises at the end so you'll easily be able to practice any aspect of hypnosis whenever you want to 'brush up' before you hit the golf course.
You'll also have the 620+ page manual including all the transcripts to the CDs with an extremely detailed index, so all this powerful knowledge is always at your fingertips whenever you need it.
The site is live right now and the full digital version is available for over 3 times LESS than the physical version!

Could Hypnosis Help You Win the World Series of Poker? Free Poker Perfection Self Hypnosis Mp3 Released For All Poker Players To Try
Birmingham, UK (PRWEB) June 20, 2008
To celebrate the launch of their brand new poker mind power system, Think Like A Poker Pro have released a free self hypnosis mp3 called Poker Perfection.
The word hypnosis is derived from the Greek word hypnos, meaning sleep. Hypnotism is often presumed to make someone go under a state of reduced consciousness while the person remains awake. The general behavior of those under hypnosis are being extremely positive to suggestions, and achieving a high level of relaxation.
Hypnosis has already helped millions of people around the world lose weight, quit smoking and overcome many other challenges. To quote Matt Damon, poker playing star of the movie 'Rounders', "I should have done it years ago. It's amazing I didn't even want cigarettes anymore." describing his hypnosis experience to Jay Leno on The Tonight Show in 2004.
As far back as 1956, many European and Eastern Bloc Olympic teams travelled with hypnotherapists, and after the L. A. Lakers winning game against the Sacramento Kings in 2002, Coach Phil Jackson credited their morning practice of self-hypnosis, meditation, and visualization with giving the Lakers the belief that they could win.
Hypnosis is also now widely accepted in golf with many of the top professionals using it to improve their game. Golf Digest magazine says Tiger Woods undergoes extensive mental training including hypnosis.
In fact thousands of sports stars have successfully used hypnosis to become champions in their field and there is no reason why poker players should not benefit from these techniques to improve their game too. As so much of poker is about strength of mind, it could be said it is the perfect arena for hypnosis.
So is it really possible for some people to use hypnosis to become a better poker player automatically? Think Like A Poker Pro.com believe so and have just launched their Think Like A Poker Pro challenge. Everyone who plays poker is invited to visit their website ThinkLikePokerPro.com to download their free poker self hypnosis mp3 called Poker Perfection.
"Learning poker strategy is vital" said Iain Legg from Think Like A Poker Pro, "but we believe improving your mental game could give you the edge over opponents. Poker requires being able to focus for long periods of time, and winning at any sport requires you have belief and confidence in yourself and your abilities. Hypnosis can help with this and it's so easy to get started. Self hypnosis simply requires relaxing and listening to the professional hypnotherapist's words on the Poker Perfection mp3, and as a wonderful side effect, it should help you feel totally refreshed".
The team at Think Like A Poker Pro have also been experimenting with other subconscious programming techniques such as brain entrainment, subliminal messaging, visualization and using unique research on luck and intuition and say early results have been impressive. Visitors who download the free mp3 will get details of the full poker system which includes all the techniques used by the team.
To take part in their challenge simply visit their website and as well as getting the free Poker Perfection self hypnosis mp3, visitors will also be given a free 7 part multimedia ecourse. This explains the science behind hypnosis and the other mind power techniques used in the system.
The Think Like A Poker Pro team have already helped hundreds of thousands of visitors explore the power of their minds at their other website RealMindPowerSecrets.com since the launch in June 2007. Now it's the time for poker players to discover their full potential.
