Putting – Improve Green Reading – Session
September 14, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
It is a well-known fact among golf teachers and instructors that golfers underestimate how much a putt will break. Missing a putt on the low side of the hole is often referred to as missing “on the amateur side.” This is not entirely true as it has also been proven by Dave Pelz in his putting studies that even pros miss putts more often on the low side as well.
Under-reading breaks on greens on downhill sliders is the number one reason for 3-putting greens. Putts always break more going downhill and so the golfer tends to put too much speed on it to compensate for the under-read break. The ball then screams past the hole and leaves a lot of work on the comeback.
This recording is going to address all that and put more emphasis on you trusting your unconscious mind to take in the subtleties of the environment on a putting green, make the proper calculations and then give the
instructions to the cells of your body all on automatic pilot. Because let’s face it…great putters do not guide their shots or strokes with their conscious mind. When golfers attempt to do that, it turns into tension or in it’s
extreme form, the yips.
The 80/20 on improving your green reading:
I would suggest recording on your scorecard all of your missed putts whether you miss on the high or low side. Over a couple rounds, you will see where your tendencies are. Becoming aware of this is the
first step in fixing the problem. If you consistently miss on the high side (you would be in a very small minority), then reverse in your mind some of the messages in this recording to work to improve on your
mistakes.
I would also recommend that once in awhile, you go to the practice green, crouch, and roll balls with your hand and focus on seeing the aimline and rolling it down that line. Then, really focus on the imaginery path it takes. Don’t look to see if the ball goes in the hole or not. Only notice if you followed your aimline and if the aimline was a good one after the fact. This takes away the whole putting stroke and teaches your unconscious mind to zero in on the aimline and improve visualizing a ball path in advance of the stroke. This is an amazingly powerful, but simple method to support the session below:

Eliminating the yips: part 1 – Session

A 3-part process
I read with empathy and fascination golfers descriptions and struggles with the yips. Everyone knows what it is but nobody seems to know the definitive way to get rid of the problem.
In trying to solve a problem, especially when you are working with the human body, wouldn’t it be most efficient to find the cause first? Unfortunately, much of Western Medicine and golf instruction ignores this and
treats the symptom. This is what folks trying to fix the yips do as well. Yes, you need band-aids and aspirin as part of your first aid kit but they aren’t going to cure cancer now are they?
Where am I going with all of this?
I’m setting you up for the recording below so that you get the benefit and release the yipping behavior. Many sports psychologists have rightly come to the conclusion that the yips are an accumulation of mental, emotional, mechanical, giving lead to procedural errors.
In short, your unconscious mind has stored negative emotions and memories that are attached to the act of putting to such an extent that it has now created a response that is similar to many irrational fears and
phobias. Why does it do this? It’s simply to protect you. Remember, the number one job of the unconscious mind (ucm) is to keep you alive. It doesn’t care about your golf game or your putting. Everyone is different but in those folks who get the yips, their ucm is running a program to stop them from putting because it believes it is dangerous to their health. How is that possible? Because the negative emotions surrounding putting are causing internal stress to you. Stress is a killer. Your ucm knows that and is trying to get you to stop playing golf because it’s made you a wreck of built up emotion that leads to physical illness. This stuff goes deep and nothing about your surface thinking or actions is likely to solve it. You can’t practice your way out of the yips.
The solution to fixing this is in:
1. Clearing all the negativity stored in the cellular intelligence of your body from your past experiences with putting, especially the fingers, hands, arms, etc.
2. Creating rapport with and teaching the ucm that putting is not only safe, but that it is beneficial to your health to golf and putt so that it will release the behavior.
3. Reconditioning a new response mechanism (undoing the “habit” of yipping)
The most important point for you to go with here is THE BELIEF that you can fix this problem. After all, you created it and so you can also un-create it. Nobody did it to you. You have everything you need inside for
physical, emotional and mental health. I would normally do the above steps in interactive hypnosis in my office. Online, you will have to be an active client and do your own work. I will give you the simple guidance to do that in the
recordings. This is powerful stuff, do not underestimate it.
Powerful intervention work through hypnosis is THE quickest and most effective way to get back to enjoying your game and your time on the greens. This requires your full attention, focus and INTENTION if you really want the results fast. The yips didn’t happen to you overnight and so they won’t go away overnight either but you absolutely can get there in a few weeks or maybe a bit longer. You may find some additional personal benefits outside of golf from working your way through this.
Do not attempt to putt during the first two weeks of this process unless the yipping is very slight or you don’t do it that much in the first place. Don’t expect a miracle during these first 2 weeks but it is possible.
Start by listening to this first recording at least twice in the first week and then move onto the second recording for 2-3 times or more in the next week. More is better, you can’t listen too much.
By the third week, you will have uncovered, cleared, and acted on what your ucm wants for you and will then be ready to do the repetitive work in the third recording. Keep listening to this and practice using the tools you have been given in this protocol. Alternate between this recording and the Putting Confidence recording.
If you still have problems, hit me up in the comments below or email. I’m here for you.

Putting Confidence – Session
September 14, 2009 by admin · 2 Comments
All golfers know that putting is a game itself within the game of golf. A great putter can more than make up
for weaknesses in other parts of the game. In my experience in working with golfers, performance on
the green most often simply comes down to how confident the golfer feels while lining up and
standing over the ball before making the stroke.
This ”feeling” or “knowing” that the ball is going in comes and goes for most golfers. I am here to tell
you that you already have the ability and can cultivate it so that it shows up much more often. This
recording uses NLP Anchoring and Association techniques to code the feeling into a unique stimulus that you
can charge up and re-trigger to experience that feeling when you most need to have a putt.
By the way, if you ever catch yourself thinking or saying “I must have” or “I need” this putt, you are
hurting your chances of making it because that causes tension and anxiety and interferences with your fine motor
movements needed in a putting stroke.
Instead, focus on your target path and then utilize the anchor you will set in this recording.
You want to “allow” the ball to fall in the hole from your efforts and just think how easy it is!
I recommend listening to this recording at least 3 times in the first week of it’s use and
then once a month to keep it fresh.
