Golfing Myth #3

​ 18-Apr-2018 | Travis Harrison Golfing Myth #3 – Golf is 99% a mental game Most golfers harbour the illusion that they could potentially be a professional golfer if they could just get their minds right. Sure, it seems logical. The mind controls the body, which controls all the actions you take du********* determines the outcome. But that’s all it really is – a myth. If you could think your way to success then everyone would be doing it. If it was just a matter of getting your thought process right and then following through with an amazing swing then golf would be the easiest game in the world. And we all know that’s not true. You can perform as much mental imagery as you like and imagine yourself hitting the most spectacular hole-in-one you’ve ever seen, and still not be able to actually do it. That’s because you don’t hit the ball with just your body, or just your mind. The process undertaken during your golf swing is the culmination of the mind and body as a unit, instead of isolated parts. We start playing bad golf when there is a disconnect between these two parts that results in system breakdown. For instance, you might be feeling completely mentally switched on and alert, but your body is sore or tired, and it just won’t perform the way you want it to. Or your body feels great, but you had a bad night’s sleep and you just can’t focus. Everything you do in golf needs to be a unified effort between your mental toughness and your physical conditioning – your ability to control both your mind and your body together equate to better performance. We’ve all had those days when everything just seems to work (and also those days when everything just seems to go wrong) - you find yourself playing your best golf when your mind and body are working in harmony. So to improve your golf game, get rid of the belief that it’s all about your mental game and toughness or ability to put mistakes behind you and make good decisions. That’s only one part. To make your practice time effective, spend it focussing on your mind-body connection. RETURN TO BLOG
