A Great Story, A Great Experience, and a nike basketball shoes mens Great LessonI was recently invited to play golf with a friend of mine and it is a story that I have to share. The mind when given good visual images is capable of performing tremendous athletic performances. When you see real world examples of it in action, especially for higher handicap players, and how the creative side of golf if allowed to surface can overcome significant swing flaws, it is a story I feel compelled to share. It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon in south Texas. The fall season is here and it is a great time to play golf in Texas. The temperature is around degrees and while there are thunderstorms in the area, none of them will bother us this day. My friend is an handicap golfer, give or take a few strokes.

On easier courses he can break but today we are playing a private layout that is blanketed by tree lined fairways, heavy rough, very deep green side bunkers, and small undulating green complexes that are fast. I do not get to play this course a lot but when I do, it is a real treat. Nick Price and other tour players compare it to the Valderrama Golf Club in nike boots for men Spain where they hold Ryder Cup matches and European PGA Tour events. Exacting tee shots, lots of doglegs, elevation changes, and small greens are the setting for the day. Needless to say, this is not a pushover golf course. The Power Of Pictures and StrategyMy friend gets off to a slower than hoped for opening hole. The opening hole is not long but requires a very exacting tee shot because of nike jordan air retro very large oak trees outlining the fairway.

The strategy almost pays off. It is extremely important to identify your strengths and weaknesses and then develop strategies for every hole that play into your strengths. In many cases, especially for higher handicap players, that means ignoring your ego and playing with strategies that produce the lowest score not the longest drives and most daring approach shots. As we walk along on our golf journey that day he continues to offer hints of what is strategies are for many of the more challenging shots he faces. The Golf Mind Thrives On PicturesOur golf instruction emphasizes the importance of playing with pictures. Pictures give the brain a much clearer sense of what the intended action is than words. Pictures give the brain a better sense of feeling and golf is all about feeling, tempo, nike r max 2018 and touch.

When golfers try to execute based upon specific verbal queues the outcome will be suspect. What do you think would happen if golfers tried to play the game with this mind set? "I intend to keep my left arm straight until it reaches the : position on the back swing at which point I will rotate my left forearm degrees to the right and back which will set the club in a parallel position. From this position I will pause for. seconds and then fire my hips"... Sounds ridiculous and it is. Unfortunately there are many golfers trying to play golf this way instead of with pictures. Verbalizing Helps Picture FormationI do not know why my friend was in such a verbalizing mood but I did not interfere. I let him continue to tell me as much about his strategies as he wanted to.

Based upon these factors the player visualizes the intended shot, selects the club to perform the task, and picks a target. These activities are approached as a process and should be repeatable, consistent, and meaningful. The number of steps in the analysis part of the routine should be kept to a minimum ensuring the players ability to complete the routine in about seconds. The second part of the pre-shot routine is the triggering mechanism. This is the final moment in time before the player initiates the golf swing. Once the player has formulated the strategy for the shot, picked a club and identified the target, a count down sequence is started. The more precise the count down sequence the better the results will be. Imagine standing behind the ball while looking down the golf hole at your target.

Many great golfers treat the area around the ball like a bubble that only they have access to. Inside the bubble, there are no distractions or mechanical swing thoughts. Once the player enters the bubble the only thoughts are about nike men's air force 1 the desired feeling of the shot and the target. Many good players have a routine specific to entering the bubble and triggering the shot. Once you step into the bubble you want to limit the time before shot execution to about - seconds for full shots, and - seconds for putts and short game shots. The more consistent you make the time element the lower your scores will be.
