Ten Great Tips to get you Playing Better

TIP #6: Visualization

Visualize......The key to golf!!!

After you have developed a repeatable swing and are able to play on the golf course with some confidence, the next step and probably the most important is the development of your visualization skills. Even if you are not real confident in your golf game it is still good to work on developing your visualization skills.

When golf first began the golfers had to rely a lot on feel and feel is directly related to what you visualize. Feelings are the results of your thoughts. What you think is what you feel. We all have the ability to visualize. It is just a matter of wanting to develop that skill to the fullest potential!!! We all have other obligations to take care of and we do not always have the time to practice our golf game. That is the great thing about visualizing. It has been proven that you do not always have to physically do some things to develop them. Just by sitting at home in your favorite recliner, for five minutes a day, you can think about those putts that you made in your last round of golf or you can think about those awesome long and straight drives you had off the tee. Believe it or not, you are practicing in the comfort of your own home. By thinking of those great moments you are reminding yourself of the fact that you can do it! Thinking of positive thoughts makes you feel good and when you feel good your brain and your body will store that information more often and sooner rather later it will become a habit!! Disciplining yourself to do a little every day is the trick!! Frequency is the key to practicing.

The beauty of visualization is that it is simple, and it works!
