All in the mind?

[jimhop51]

Apparently golf is a game that is played upto 90% in the mind. If you could improve your game by being able to relax and to fully focus on your game, would you be tempted to try hypnotherapy?

I reckon I would try it if only to fully remember every thing that I know but seldom use in golf.

Things like if our ball is on a upslope in a bunker, I don't always remember to set up with my shoulders level with the slope, but if hypnotherapy would trigger something that helped me to remember to set up correctly then it would be useful.

Normally after a bad outcome to a shot that I don't do that often, that's when I think to myself "I know how to do that , so why didn't I remember? " oh yeah a brain fart!

As I tell my non-golf students. When you are new to "xxxx" it is 90% in the body.
Only when you are really good, does the 90% in the mind become reality.

If I had a good swing, and played good golf, I'd go for hypno-anything.

Something I never really thought about until someone highlighted it to me recently...if you think a round can last 4 hours yet in that time we take roughly 85 shots, each of which lasts about a second. 85 seconds of actually physical swinging in 4 hours means there is almost 3h59m of thinking to be done. So, yes, a large part of it is the mental game.

Is this in addition to, or instead of, the 47 other methods and techniques you've got buzzing around your mind?
