Improving your golf happens with confidence
If improving your golf was all about the swing, then why do
we have balloon-score rounds right after taking our lessons
and spending hours on the practice range? Because golf is a
mental game right?
The meaning of the word "confidence" and how it applies to
golf is everything for improving your golf and what happens
to us on the course when we're playing. . The greatest shot
killer is not bad mechanics, it's DOUBT!
Also remember Brad Faxon's words: "most golfers just suffer
from too much doubt when it comes to putting."
If you haven't experienced doubt on the putting green
before and seen it's ugly effects, then you are already the
greatest putter in the world and I want to know your secret.
So many top pros have recounted in interviews that the best
putting they ever did was when they were in their teens.
Why? Because they had their best mechanics? Because they
have a more steady nervous system in their youth? No, it's
because they are full of confidence and have reached a
basic fundamental skill level. They have very few past
failures and disappointments that cut into their natural
cockiness. And that's all you need! The best putters in the
world have long recognized this.
Do you remember being a teenager and you felt invincible?
Like you could do anything and nothing bad would happen to
you? As we get older, things happen to us and we become
more afraid to try things and we get closer to our own
mortality.
When I was a teenager, I can remember being unafraid to go
swim out to 10 foot waves in the ocean so that I could ride
them in with my little blow up raft! Getting rescued by the
lifeguard one time cured me of that real quick. I went
river rafting once and after running a class 3 rapid,
walked back up to the beginning of the rapid and SWAM it! I
can also remember jumping off a 50 foot cliff overhanging a
lake without knowing what was under the water. I look back
at those times and think "how in the world did I ever
survive being a teenager?"
Could you go back to that time, in your head and create
that state that is stored in your unconscious mind for
confidence? Of course you can, just call upon your memories
of those events and re-experience them right there on the
course.
And that's all there is to it. They are just feelings
you've had in the past and your memories can bring you
there again. Those memories are your most powerful weapon
to managing your mental state when you are improving your
golf game. Manufacture confidence and remove doubt and
watch your scores drop!
