Golf – Tee off with confidence

Hypnosis is used to reprogram your instincts to play more effectively and to reliably enter that state of mind and body we refer to as “flow” or “being in the zone.”  When you enter the zone, you find that everything feels easier and great performance becomes an inevitable consequence of the way you are feeling.  However, to flow into the zone you need to be relaxed!

When we talk about sports psychology we often speak of “process focused,” you become one with the activity itself.  When you’re in the zone, all extraneous thoughts disappear.  Out there on that first tee there should be no thoughts of the last round.  Past failures and successes do not exist – because there is only right now!

Conversely, if you become too “outcome focused,” then you lose touch with what you are actually doing as your mind wanders to the imagined outcome of what you are doing or about to do.

If you are imagining what others will think of your performance, how your game appears, whether your score will be better or worse than before and so forth, then you lose touch with the game itself, because all those concerns are outcome rather than process focused.

When you play at your best, all else fades away and the only reality becomes the present time and the present action.  Tension, anxiety and self consciousness all block the Zen-like trance state needed to play at your best and flow into your game.

Performance Hypnosis aims to turn you into a performance machine, making you reliably able to tee off in a relaxed and composed way every time.  You need to enjoy your golf and relax with it – and you can still be competitive and driven!
