Play in the Zone – Session
September 2, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Just in case you missed it, I would highly recommend you go through the 3-part training for how to get in the zone. Go here for that. Below is a hypnosis session designed to supplant the messages in that training and give you some metaphorical guidance to find your way. Remember, it starts with flow and I believe that rhythm is one of the best ways to get that process going. How many times have you been in a zone-like state when you were at work and doing something you’ve done many times before right? Golf can be the same way at times if you put some intention into that. This session will stimulate that process. Listen as many times as you like, I don’t think you could listen to this too many times…the more the better to train yourself into that flow that leads you to the gateway of the zone.
As you listen, allow for images of your game to come up. See if you can feel some of the same feelings again from those past scenes that this session reminds you of. Put yourself on the course in a future round as you process the ideas. Think about all aspects of your game as you go through this session.
Greens and fairways,
Craig

Silver Member Session – Your Perfect Swing
Silver Members- this is your opportunity to understand the power this site puts in your hands- literally.
Part of your perfect swing is powering through the mental blocks which hold our strength at bay. This Session will help you break through those mental barriers- and others- which negatively impact your swing.
Remember to get the most out of your session. These sessions cost people $200 in-clinic. Prepare for your session by allowing yourself ample time- 30 minutes of uninterrupted time is all it should take.
Get familiar with the Inductions and find one that’s right. Then just select it in the player and let the Session begin. Repeat this a couple times before going out to the Driving Range or before playing your next round.
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.

Break 80 Without Practice – FAQs
Members Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the most important thing I should do first from this system?
A. To get the quickest return for your efforts, You should work on whatever you are weakest at first. If you are weakest at hitting the ball straight (like most people), then focus on square and point (using the mental techniques to work it). If you’re biggest problem is consistency, get your pre-shot routine down and wired incorporating all the major elements . The main point here is to work on one major area at a time until it becomes habit. (80/20 rule)
Q. What CD should I listen to first?
A. It is my suggestion to listen in order, as it will give you the idea that you really can significantly improve. Our tired, old ideas of golf improvement are our biggest hurdles. After that, go to the CD that makes sense for your situation, ie. if you are on the way to the course, listen to CD 4. If it’s wintertime and you can’t play, listen to CD 2 and then CD 3. You’ll know what you need, trust yourself.
Q. How long will it take for me to see significantly lower scores?
A. Plain and simple – It depends on how much effort you put into it. There are plenty of ideas in here that if used will save you strokes on your next round. For that kind of results, go straight to CD 4 before your next round. Over the next season, if all you do is the nightly visualization/relaxation routine consistently, you should easily lose the promised 10 strokes if you are an average golfer. You could potentially lose even more if you score over 100.
Q. Does this program work with other programs I have such as “Natural Golf” or other instructional videos.
A. Absolutely! The only section in this system that might come in conflict with other instruction is the physical swing ideas (3-position method). If you have confidence in your current method, by all means, USE IT and ignore this section. I offer it for those who wanted a solid, simple way of finding a decent swing on their own that has proven success behind it.
Q. My biggest problem is swing consistency. How can this program help that??
A. O.k, you are not alone with that issue. In fact, it was my biggest challenge for years and really most average golfer’s as well. What I teach about how to defeat that problem that you’ll find in the CD’s is:
1. Understand “square and point” (see member’s CD 1 page for detailed info)
2. Understand “constant swing axis” (also member’s CD 1 page)
3. Use techniques on Mental CD to pound those concepts into your subconscious.
4. Develop the idea of letting our unconscious play the shot the way it knows how.
We are going to trust the physics of 1 & 2 to hit the ball solid and straight and not worry about anything else with regard to “how to swing”. Then, we will use the rest of the program to “build consistency” into our playing by creating new habits out on the course (most importantly, a pre-shot routine). These new thoughts and actions will culminate with a swing that was created by you and patterned after your best shots that you’ve already had with each club. If in doubt about any of this, email me and we’ll talk more.
Q.How do I fix this: It seems that I worry about how I look while swinging the club.I can feel everybody watching me and it really screws me up.
This is so common with golfers. I know exactly how you feel. In fact, once when I was doing my one-on-one coaching with a member, I was trying so really hard to impress him how good I was that I was stiff as a board and chunked a few shots right after giving my advice. So, I stopped scoring and caring and whala, started playing well. You really need to etch down in stone a pre-shot routine that has all of the elements I talk about in CD2 and members page 2. This routine will not only help you build in consistency (a set of consistent motions culminating in a consistent swing motion), but it will KEEP YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND OCCUPIED.
This is the primary killer of our golf potential, that part of our mind that wants to “direct” things. It does nothing but ruin a golf swing.
You must train yourself to let your subconscious play the shots and get that little voice with the bad shots out of the way. The only way to do that is to give it something else to do. Play golf like you would ride a bike. Do you tell your arms and legs how to get on a bike and steer and pedal? No, you just get on and tell yourself to “ride toward your destination” and your subconscious takes care of it all. I struggle with this just like you. In addition to focusing hard on minute details of repeating my pre-shot routine, during my intuitive phase (after the practice swing) I begin to sing a little rock song I like (Midnight Confessions by the Grass Roots) inside my head, sometimes even a little bit out loud. I am actually remembering and singing the words to myself while in the act of swinging the club!. I start this song right after telling my subconscious to hit the ball to my target. THIS WORKS WONDERS! You can also the try the “da da da da” method (from Inner Golf) where you try to say or think “da” when you start your backswing, when you hit the top, when you hit the ball, and when you are done. You can also use the words “back, forward, hit, stop” in place of “da, da, da, da”. Again, the point is to keep your conscious busy with something other than thinking all those bad thoughts. You need to give it something to do or it will find something that will ruin your game.
Q.My biggest problems are with my long irons and woods. What can I do??
A. Here’s the biggest shocker to fixing someone’s long game…fix your short game and your long game will get better all by itself! Why is this? Because we swing “scared” with our long irons and woods as we worry about how far offline our shot will go. When you feel totally confident that you can get up and down from anywhere off the green with your wedges (it doesn’t really matter if you actually can, all that matters is whether you REALLY feel confident about it) , then you will start to have a free swing with the long game and you will trust the concepts of square and point and constant swing axis (see CD 1 and member’s page 1). This is the way us busy people will straighten out our long shots. Yes, you can go take lessons and practice the heck out of what is taught by your pro and that will work, but, who has the time?
The next thing is to swing the long clubs easier and take more club. I know it sounds simplistic but if you want to prove it to yourself, go out and try playing a round (or 9 holes) and leave your woods at home. As long as you’re not playing a 7,000 yd course, you will be as stunned as I was when I scored the same as I normally do when I bring my woods. Why? Because I had no balloon scores from hitting long shots OB or in the woods. The object of the game to breaking 80 is not to shoot for birdies or even sometimes pars. It’s to eliminate balloon score holes. You can make many small mistakes in a round and still break 80. It’s the large ones that kill us. Add in there playing a nice hard rock ball that doesn’t spin much. (I usually always play a “distance” 2-piece ball so that I can hit the dang thing straight first and foremost!) Understanding “square and point” and then pounding it into your subconscious with techniques on the Mental CD is the key to the “Without Practice” way of hitting it straight
Q. I’ve heard that hypnosis is a bunch of hooey and this other stuff, NLP and Superlearning sounds even more flaky. Why should I believe that any of it is for real?
A. There’s tons of science and proof behind it. You can spend days reading in Medical and Scientific Journals in libraries and on the web if you really want to be solidly convinced. Also, there are thousands of professionals making nice livings helping people through these methods for many problems such as weight loss, smoking etc. Recently, many have gotten into sports psychology and if they weren’t producing real results for people, they simply wouldn’t have a business. The bottom line for most folks is that top golf pros and sports psychologists are using these methods. I have worked with hundreds of average and professional people in my office with great success.
Q. How long is my purchase of this program guaranteed?
A. One year. If for anytime during that year you are not happy with the program, send it back and send me an email to let me know.
I know the program works and have included tools to make it easy for you (member’s pages, cheat sheet, etc.) All I ask is that you give it a good effort. I really want your scores to go down and so I didn’t want a short guarantee period to put the pressure on you. I have plans for more free ebooks and goodies over the next year for paid members as added incentive to stick with this.
Q. These tapes are 4-plus hours. If I had 4 hours to spend, I’d take lessons. How am I going to find the time to listen to this program?
A. The most often-overlooked time we waste in our life is spent in our vehicles travelling. I can’t think of a better way to multi-task than driving and listening to instructive audio CD’s. The information presented is no more difficult to understand and pay attention to while driving than listening to typical talk radio. Even better, when you need to focus on your driving, you can pause it. Also, doing household chores or working in the garage is a good time to spin a CD. You’ll find that you want to re-listen to these tapes multiple times to help the info soak in. P.S., I always recommend PGA pro lessons if you have the time and can afford it.
Please feel free to submit your questions to add to this FAQ.
Although there is strong support for the effectiveness of music in learning, we still know little about how the reported effects of music on learning are actually achieved. In the context of the studies reviewed here the effectiveness of music can be explained in several ways. Music appears to create a more pleasant learning environment in terms of affective criteria (Schuster & Mouzon 1982) which may improve performance. It further appears to have the potential to affect concentration and attention rate and in turn improve on-task behaviour (Davidson & Powell 1986). Music also appears to be associated with physiological effects such as a lowered heartrate (Blanchard 1979) and increased alpha brain waves (Lozanov 1978) which may be instrumental in improved performance. Finally, studies which included the reinstatement of music during testing (Schuster & Mouzon 1982, Smith 1985) indicate that context-cuing may be involved.

Your Perfect Swing Hypnosis Session for Silver members
I can’t tell you how many golfers I have talked to that have had plenty of golf instruction in person, in print, on videos, etc and still just don’t get any better. They are stuck behind their scoring barrier. Why? I believe it’s 2 reasons:
- They have taken in too much advice and don’t know what to buy into or what to work on and so they end up doing nothing.
- Or they get a good tip, at most they try it out once or twice but don’t make it a regular part of their game and then they move on to the next tip. How many times have you read a good golf article during the week and then failed to ever use that info on the course on the weekend?
This program was put together to defeat these 2 problems: The way to do that is to pick one major concept at a time, work on it hard in your brain until it is part of your thinking/performing, and don’t work on the next thing until you have the last thing down cold – INCREMENTALISM.
Secondly, I have provided you the tools to transfer this to the course in the form of the checklists, these member’s pages, and audio format for the easiest way to gain the power of spaced repetition. For the quickest, most efficient results possible for beginners, first work on Solid Contact and “Square and Point” with everything you’ve got. For those with a decent physical game, you’ll get your 10+ stroke reduction from the rest of the system
Whenever you see
this:
that is an item that you must put most of your focus on at first unless that area of your game is fine.
| To: “Without Practice” members:I could have kept refining, rewriting, and re-recording “Without practice” indefinitely. As it was, I must have recorded each CD about 8 times before my project advisor told me to stop it already and get the CD’s done. Well, in my mind, they will never be just right, especially since my research and trials are still ongoing and so, I came up with a compromise that I think will work for my desire to give you the best product possible and for you, the golfer, to actually get the information into play in your game for your SCORE IMPROVEMENT! With these backups in place, I now feel comfortable in just going with what I had and what you now have. Each time I listen, These member pages should fill in the gaps that may get created when you listen to the CD”s and if that doesn’t work, then Also, I would really like feedback from you on anything with regard to this system – good bad or otherwise. I will use this information to make the system and member’s pages more useful to you, the paid member. Please use the form below for that as well. Finally, I will be adding special deals and more free ebooks and ecourses in the future that won’t be available to the main site visitors so check back here and/or make sure your email is updated to be notified when they become available. Also, let me know if you find any broken links. Thanks, Greens and fairways! Craig Sigl |

90 min. interview with Zone Golf author, Kelly Sullivan Walden
Kelly Sullivan Walden has recently released her book: “Zone Golf” and I got to ask her anything I wanted.
This is some astounding information. She has worked with countless golfers but in a way that nobody else does, including me!
We talked about visualization and what that means, specific techniques to use on the course to manage your state, the building blocks of entering the zone. How to use your “heart” to enter the zone. Some quick exercises to help you get into the zone. An understanding of “Oneness” and “Quantum golf” and “interconnectedness” which is the real unique message she brings to this sport. We talked about the keys to having a powerful hypnosis session, how to reconnect to The Zone state that you might have experienced in the past and more….
The interview is in 2 parts below for members only. Enjoy.
