Has there ever been a more
frustrating game than golf. One day your drives are true and
your puts hole out in one, the next you bunker every drive and take
double figures to sink your ball.
Why is this? You understand
the techniques and the mechanics of golf, you practice regularly.
How is it that you can play so well one day and so badly the next?
And it affects us all, whether we are just starting out or Darren
Clarke, the inconsistencies of golf plague everyone's game.
They say that 90% of golf
is played in our head and the conflicting fortunes of all golfers
would seem to prove this, I would go a stage further and say
that 90% of golf that most of us play is in our CONSCIOUS MIND.
The problem is
the conscious mind is an outcome focused instrument and is designed
to ask questions and to compare things. Questions like "What was I
doing yesterday? Why does it feel different today? Why can't it be
as easy today?!" Doubts and fears begin to surface and we start to
question our ability to replicate what we have done before.
And sure enough as a 'self fulfilling prophecy', the more we doubt
our talent the more likely we are to fail! Questioning
and uncertainty takes us out of the flow. The
FLOW
is a process based experience. It is
based on trusting the process from a subconscious level and simply
playing.
The Hypnostyx Golf Partner
programme uses two techniques to raise confidence levels and relax
the golfer back into the flow. These techniques have been
taking the US by storm and have been credited with reducing
handicaps by up to 35%!
EFT - stand for
Emotional Freedom Technique and can be described as Acupuncture
without the needles. By tapping on certain 'meridian' points
EFT restabilises the energy flow throughout our bodies. To
understand the major benefits this has for golfers read the US

Hypnotherapy -
Visualisation is a great tool for all sportspeople. Picturing
yourself winning and embedding that event in your subconscious mind
will raise your success rate on every occasion. The one truth
that is guaranteed is if your subconscious mind thinks your a
winner, within the physical limitations of your body you will be a
winner!! |
