If golf is 90 percent mental, why don't golf clubs offer psychiatrist's services?

Don't "Be the ball", BE the target

By Jennifer Scott

In the movie, Caddyshack, before they swung, golfers repeated the mantra, "Be the Ball!" This is OK for a funny movie or if you're a beginning golfer who's likely to miss the ball if you don't pay supreme attention to it. But for anyone else it's ridiculous.

Because you're better than that. You don't want to just hit the ball. You want the ball to go someplace. Like...a Target. It would be much better for you to "Be The Target." To focus intensely on the target. To picture your ball going to it. To have it so burned into your mind that you can still see it in your mind's eye when you're addressing the ball.

Watch the pre-shot routine of any good golf professional. What do you think they're doing when they stand in back of the ball, in line with the target? They're picturing the ball flying to the target.

This is what my Golf Clients do through Self-Hypnosis.

No, they're not in a trance. They're just relaxed. Through instant Self-Hypnosis, they're able to picture something happening and then let it happen. My golf Clients "see" the ball going to the target while they're looking at the ball they're about to hit. The connection with the target is never lost.

Want to improve your scoring? Before every shot, make the target your image.
