Long Game – Your Perfect Swing! – Session

I’ve written much about the futile attempt to achieve a perfect swing. Golfers and announcers dissect top pros swings down to the smallest detail in hopes of finding the magic bullet that they can apply to their swing.  Here’s the deal folks, it’s not about a perfect swing, it’s about achieving a repeatable swing…one that works for you.

There are so many different ways to swing and win. Yes, you should follow an instructor or swing coach’s advice if you believe in his/her system. Once you have it…once you’ve shown that you can use it effectively, as you do on the practice range, then you know you own it. All that’s left is bringing back what you know you already can do.

This session below will help you do that.

Mental Toughness – Focus – Session

I often hear from golfers, after a round,  that they just didn’t focus and if they had, they wouldn’t have missed that putt or shot…And when I press them, they admit that they had no plan or intention at the beginning or during the round to foster this.

We are all pretty good at giving ourselves a cue or reminder for a swing thought for instance. Why not one to trigger “Focus?”

There are a number of things that cause us to lose our focus and concentration…

Lack of motivation. The answer to this is in deciding and reminding yourself of your reason for wanting to improve your focus and and as a result, your scores.

Expectations cause you to lose focus. These cause difficult emotions, tensions, and anxiety that destroys the coordination you have in your fine motor skills.

Significant Distractions. You will be given a tool to deal with this in the first session below.

Before you go out for your next round, here’s some suggestions to dampen your expectations and put things in perspective for you. Review these before every round.

 

1. It’s not your life, it’s not your wife, it’s just a game

2. We are fragile beings and can die tomorrow. How does this putt compare to that?

3. What if you were able to float your body out in space and watch the spot on the earth where you are golfing…while connecting to your higher belief systems…up there, at that moment

4. Will the legacy you want to leave your loved ones be affected by this shot?

5. Does this round have any relevance to your overall purpose/mission for being alive on the planet right now?

6. Wow, this tension, stress, tightness feels a lot like being excited and energized doesn’t it?

The fact is, YOU ARE ALREADY GREAT AT FOCUSING, when you want to or need to.  You do it in your work, vocation or studies and you do it in your play. You do it well when watching a movie or book that you enjoy…or even a tasty meal.

Focus is more a matter of emotionally framing your round for how you want it to go before you go out on the course.

Add a tool to “practice” your focusing…and you should be set. The tool, is how to be in the present. You will want to use the Focus induction here to practice using this tool in hypnosis.

Golf is supposed to be fun!! Decide that that is your main objective and then you will just naturally play to your potential and keep your focus…Just like when you watch a movie you really like.

And then when you get up to that pressure putt or back 9, then you can easily focus and be calm as a monk. That’s how it works….for you now…doesn’t it?

Mental Toughness – Confidence: Part 2 – Session

The next part of this exercise in building Confidence is an important stage in the Mental toughness game. In week one you had a chance to listen to the audio and practice through a game of golf. Now you can drive this home.

What did you notice during the game? What distractions crept in. Were there real fears, or things which just seemed like it? Either answer is ok. However, this will help. You made it this far- now you’re ready for part 2 in this important lesson…

Mental Toughness – Confidence: Part 1 – Session

So where does confidence come from? It comes from previous success or a belief in the ability for success. Can
we create confidence when no previous success has been experienced? That answer is a resounding YES!

We must first unblock the pathway to confidence. Everyone has some old mental baggage that we carry around just
like a heavy backpack. It’s our old programming or tapes that came to be mostly when we were in our youth but could have been at any time.

Any time you had a difficult emotional event in your past, it most likely created a disempowering belief inside
you that now brings up tension, anxiety, stress, yipping, doubts, fears, etc at the wrong time…just when you want
to do your best is when it is most pronounced.

Hypnosis is the most effective way to undo that past programming. Our mind in hypnosis operates just like a
computer.

You may be thinking that you don’t need this section…that you are already confident…that you just need some
reinforcement of swing mechanics in every facet of the game and then you’ll be good.  Wrong again. You will
never reach your true potential until you clear all of your interference. The formula for success is:

Performance = Potential – Interference

This is part 1 of a 2 part process that I would recommend you take at least 2 weeks to go through. Listen to the first
session and allow to come up whatever comes up. You will need to do your own therapy here but I have given you the
guidance to get down into the basement of your mind where this stuff lives. You may have interesting dreams during
the process or some difficult things might come up that you have repressed. Allow yourself to process them and
follow the instructions given to clear them. This works very well in my office and will work very powerfully for
you as well.

Short Game – Sand trap shots – Session

Like most of the games within the game of golf, you will play your best sand trap shots when you flat out just FEEL like you own those shots.  When you have confidence in this area like the pros, you’ll get up and down in 2 more often than not.

The way to get confidence here is to… relate and associate the sand to some good feelings and to convince yourself at the unconscious level that this is one of the easiest shots in golf…which it really is. It is the one the shot in golf that has the most room for error with regard to where the club strikes the ground.  This knowledge, going into the shot, will give you great comfort when you think it.  Haven’t you seen the pros in a tournament talking to the ball and telling it to “get in the trap” when they know it’s going to miss the green?

I cover some of the mechanics with the intention of helping that and to strengthen the 80/20 about sand shots. You should already know about opening up your stance in the sand and activating the bounce on your SW appropriately for the type of sand and lie that you are in.

As with other areas of the game, you want to look at being in the beach as a good thing! Most pros think this way. Why? Because you have much more control over spin and the largest margin of error of all the shots in your bag. Sand is very forgiving.

Like all these recordings, bring up the emotion and the imagery that works for you in achieving the confidence and surety that you are a GREAT SAND PLAYER!

Short Game – Chipping and Pitching – session

The overview for this section is that you have to get it into your head that… this is what you build your game on.  The pros know that up to 80% of your practice time should be on the short game. There are so many benefits to this improvement route I don’t know where to begin. Bottom line, when you have a stellar up and down game, you can beat anyone regardless of how far they hit. Sam Snead didn’t call Paul Runyon “little poison” because he was long off the tee. Paul, at 5′ 7″ beat him often by wizardry around the greens.

You probably already know the fundamentals of the short game as a serious player so I am not going to do much with that.  What we can improve on is to create that state that allows your creativity to come out and then a trusting mindset around this part of the game.

A genuine love of the challenge of the short game is also going to motivate you to want to practice more and everywhere. Working on your short game in your house, your backyard, your garage all will make you really good friends with your wedges.

Tiger, Phil, and the rest are known for their creativity around the greens. You have that too but you must allow the right side of your brain to come alive when playing these shots.

The second major key is to use the left side of your brain to make the smart, strategic decision and keep the odds in your favor for a perfect shot. The fact is, this is one of the few parts of the game where your
decision-making process plays the greatest part of your success with the shot. And you always want to have SCORING LOWER as your number one priority. This boils down to choosing the high percentage shots most of the time…which means, keeping the ball as low as you can.

Every time you see the “W” on any of your wedges, you are going to think of it standing for “WIN” from now on.

Go get ‘em.

Eliminating the Yips: Part 3 – Session

Stage 3 builds on what you did during parts one and two, so if you haven’t thoroughly gone through those audio sessions, you’ll want to do them first with full INTENTION. If you have, by now, you should at least be feeling more hopeful about not doing the yips anymore. It’s ok now to start building up a great feeling that you can be in control of your bodily responses. After all, your unconscious mind IS YOU, and nobody else.  Think about how this works for a moment, and you’ll understand why this system is getting results for people who use it…

What if your golf game was teaching you powerful things about you and enjoyable at the same time?  What if every session helped you to focus on the most important things in your game and life? Wouldn’t you then be retraining your  mind with good habits and helping you to be mentally tough, avoiding pitfalls. What then? What if you were to find that the only difficulty is bringing yourself to do these simple exercises? That’s good! That’s exactly where you want to be, because it doesn’t get any simpler than that.

There is a difference between something being so easy that it’s meaningless, and something so deceptively simple and easy that it’s brilliant. This is why you are now part of an exclusive club of golf game enthusiasts who are actually getting results. These shortcuts are only shortcuts to direct experience that matters. They don’t really shortcut your game- you know you can’t do that. This is why the system works when you hold your INTENTION. This is why any system works (if it’s a good one) when you ALLOW for the change and let go of the past.

Third week: Ok, this recording might be a little weird. I know. But guess what… The yips are weird too. Just go with it and get your results.

The yips are unexplainable using the conscious mind. However, the unconscious mind created it and knows the mechanism to release the habit. Go along and follow instructions, it works! The therapy in this recording was created by one of the most brilliant hypnotherapists on the planet and I have personal experience of success with it for golf and healing a torn meniscus on my knee. I went a year and half and continually reinjured it. I was about to have surgery on it and then took a training from him and we used this process to heal the tear. It’s been 7 months and I’ve had no problems ever since. This has worked perfectly for all sorts of yip behaviors in sports and ties up the 3-part therapy perfectly.

Eliminating the Yips: Part 2 – Session

Stage 2 builds on what we put into practice during week one, so if you haven’t been using that audio session, you’ll want to go there first…

Second week: this is where the real work happens to undo the cause of the behavior of yipping. Put everything you’ve got into doing this intentionally and make it as real as you
can…because yipping is as real as this work…

There will be times that I ask you to do communicate with yourself. I will give suggestions of what you might use but only pick that which is true for you. Allow for other messages and signals that need to be communicated that I might not have thought of.

Use the pauses to do the work.

Long Game – Driving Accuracy – Session

The most important point you want to hold in your mind along with your intention to become much more accurate with your driver is the fact that if you have hit a perfect shot in the past with your driver, then your
unconscious mind (ucm) has stored all of the instructions for being able to repeat that…

If you have hit many perfect shots, then it is all the more easier to call upon these instructions when you want it. Every time you drive perfectly, from now on, you want to really celebrate that shot in your mind. Bring up the emotion about how excellent that is and how it feels. This sends signals to your ucm to associate the driver in your hand and that event to your intention.

The more you hit great shots and then couple it with a strong command to your unconscious, the more it will “understand” that that is the program that it is supposed to run when you get up there on the teebox with your driver and evoke it to perform.

Another way to put it is…when I make a bad shot with my driver, I don’t attribute it to poor mechanics that I need to “fix.” Every instructor will tell you that you do your “fixing” of your swing on the practice range. No,
instead, I come to the conclusion that I just did not make a direct communication to my ucm to play the perfect shot and/or I created some interference that got in the way.

Success in recalling and repeating an accurate shot comes from communication and repetition.  Yes, you want to have good swing mechanics and have a swing coach teach you a swing that is likely to increase your chances for squaring that clubface up at impact and following through down the target line (my square and point principle).

But that is only half the battle. At some point, you have to TRUST your body, your ucm that it knows how and then let it do the work.

Begin the work of trusting here:

Long Game – Increasing driving distance – Session

Key elements for increasing your driving distance that hypnosis will improve are:

1. Improving your swing mechanics to get every bit of energy you have available efficiently transferred to the end of your club for maximum impact

2. Increasing flexibility and strength within your body

3. Creating a strong emotional framework and belief that you can swing faster while keeping your accuracy.

In this recording, we will be teaching your unconscious mind some of the specific instructions you want it to accept in order to put those concepts above into your driving efforts. This is supplanted by the fact that you have hit a “longest” drive of your life in your past. This is your absolute minimum current potential (given bodily changes).  We first want to be 100% confident that you have these instructions in your memory and can bring it back. Secondly, you will be pushing past those limits with this recording using the concepts on the course and mentally rehearsing them as reality while you listen.

Much of the improvement that you will experience here will again be due to your intention and commitment to the belief that you have the power to change your mind and as a result, your body. Not only to actively program these messages but to go out on a course and keep that intention in the front of your mind.  I would recommend starting out by holding that belief on fun practice rounds and then on competitive rounds, focusing simply on the task at hand, namely, the pre-shot routine and rhythm while on the tee with your driver.
