Does Learning Through Yoga Mindsets Will Lead To An Improved Golf Swing Mechanics Overall?
March 1, 2010 by Parshooters · 7 Comments
For the serious golfer the game is a dedication to improving one’s golf skills and mindset. It’s an opportunity to get away for some 4+ hours from the daily grind and stress of everyday living. Most of the time this isn’t done and instead we bring our anger, frustrations and temperament with us out on to the golf course. Instead what you observe most of the time is frustrated golfers heaving golf clubs, making vehement self-incriminatory remarks, swearing, and throwing temper tantrums that would rival those of a 2-year-old.
Focus is the last word you would use when observing images of the frustrated golfer. Golfers who don’t learn to appreciate the mental aspect of golf will remain frustrated or give up completely before mastering the game. Perhaps no sport is more wrought with mental hazards than golf. The game introduces a constant struggle between the conscious mind analyzing, alert, logical, understanding and the subconscious mind that deals with the intuition and the implementation of your long-term memory with regards to the golf swing mechanics.
The constant battle of giving yourself up to time in practicing and the amount of depth for available instructions contributes to golf’s reputation as an intensely mental game. There are volumes of detailed videos and books on the sciences of the game. Golf is a multi-billion dollar industry of golf equipment and one-on-one coaching is considered incomparable to any other sports. Yet all the instructions in the world won’t help you if you allow stress to seep into your game. Even though golf fundamentals are learned in the conscious mind, they are stored in the regions of the subconscious mind. Yet by incorporating elements of yoga into different positions, you can develop the mental discipline that golf demands. The Flow of Concentration.

If you want to improve this year in golf then be prepared to invest your time into learning your golf swing mechanics. Before you can improve you need to understand, analysis by breaking your golf swing down and then implement the changes you’ve learned. How do you do this? You can do this by taking golf lessons from a licensed professional, going to a golf school for a few days, or by increasing the amount of golfing your doing. The third option isn’t really a very good option, because you’ve built a permanently flawed swing into your memory banks. The first two options is the best way to learn but, it can cost you a lot of money over a period of time.
Then what is the best way to learn when first starting to play? You can’t expect to do anything in life unless your passionate about investing your time and energy into improving, be it in Sports, Music, Business or using the internet. The least cost effective way is to spend countless hours at a driving range. However, you’ve always heard that practice makes perfect. This is a fallacy, because practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes permanent. So how does a golfer know when his golf swing mechanics is correct or incorrect?
If you are ready to improve your golf swing mechanics then you need to invest into something worthwhile that will improve your golf swing. That would be Medicus the #1 swing trainer aid in the world. The Medicus Learning System is dedicated to assisting golfers of all ages. “Master the Basics” of golf through a consistent process of education, training and practice.
Does Fear Prevent You From Having A Proper Way To Swing A Golf Club?
February 9, 2010 by Parshooters · 6 Comments
Fear in making mistakes in life is a big part of being human . This I profess, that I’m not an expert on and therefore can’t give advice. You can do a google search and find millions of pages on this information. What I can give to you is my experience with regards to fear when playing the game of golf. Golf and reality have a way of blending into one another. I’ve seen all kinds of different attitudes from the most generous and forgiving to those you wouldn’t want to get near with a 10ft pole. Who are arrogant, frustrated, mean spirited, nasty and their outright ugly on the outside. I have a saying,”the better golfer you become the more of an asswhole you become!” Although I do know many golfers amateur and professional who are the kindest people and I’m proud to be their friend.
Playing in a mens club for almost 30 years, you do form a bond with the golfers your playing with. It’s like any other social function where you do get to know them and their families. Where you attend events and golfing get away trips. Playing collegiate golf I’ve had the opportunity to play on some of the finest golf courses in the Northeast.
Only one thing that hasn’t changed in the hundreds of years since the sport began, and which can momentarily turn grown men and women into frothing, enraged lunatics who have seemingly lost all sense of decorum and reasonable behavior. That is the simple mistake of not knowing how to have the proper way to swing a golf club. The golf club failing to connect and striking a small white ball properly. Sending it not on a straight true path but on a wildly curving arc into the woods, or even worse out of bounds. It has turned more than one Dr. Jekyll into a seething Mr. or Mrs. Hyde, hurling golf clubs into the air, breaking them like matchsticks over their knees, bellowing obscenities into the air instead of yelling fore.
How Important Is The Golfing Mindset When Trying To Improve Golf Swing?
January 26, 2010 by Parshooters · 2 Comments
Golf is a game made up of rules and standards. It’s more than that however! Golf is a mindset and self-confidence game. It’s made for those golfers who want to take on challenges away from the everyday grind and problems that we must endure in our lives.
That is why for an average golf round of 4+ hours we can forget about everything else in our lives and just focus on one’s own self interest in trying to improve golf swing or scores. You can call it arrogance and self-absorption but, the original inventor of this game did come from royalty.
There are many composites that are built into the psychology of a golfer’s mindset: Confidence Consistency Fearlessness Focus Positive Mental Attitude Trust Visualization
How Much Of A Factor Can Inclement Weather Have On Your Golf Swing?
January 13, 2010 by Parshooters · 8 Comments
As I watch from my window to the outside world, I’m only dreaming of the warm spring days that won’t becoming to New York for at least another three months. You see we were just hit overnight with 4″ of snow on top of the snow we received from the last snow storm. Where I live today it’s a balmy 17 degrees outside. Ouch!
That is why I’m thinking about bad weather conditions in golf. I’m sort of correlating between the two weather conditions of today and what it’s like when you have to play in all kinds of bad weather. Playing in bad weather is a challenge but, when you prepare yourself properly your round of golf doesn’t have to collapse.
All golfers find it difficult to play effectively in inclement weather. Rain, wind and cold will affect your golfing mindset. The way you dress, your golf swing, the flight of the golf ball and the speed and breaks of the greens. No amount of practice or instruction can fully prepare you for bad weather playing. Being prepared for bad weather will make it bearable for you to play when the weather does turn nasty.
Are You Developing A Successful Golf Mindset?

Golf is the one of the oldest games in world history still being played today. It’s a game steep in storied traditions and played by the wealthiest to the poorest who can afford to pay for green fees and golf clubs. It was born on the heather-clad, rocky shores of Scotland in the mid 1500′s and the game has evolved through hundreds of years. Queen Mary herself is credited for the birth of the game. She would get so mad and frustrated at English politics that she would go outside on the castle grounds and hit stones with sticks.
Golf clubs were formerly made of hickory wood are now composed of military space-age metals and composites made up of graphite and titanium. Golf balls also evolved from feathers to rubber wound threads surrounding a rubber core are now as advanced as the golf clubs.

How Can I Improve My Self Confidence In Golf?

Do you feel frustrated if you can’t drop more strokes in golf? Then your not alone most golfers can’t no matter how much they try to improve by playing or practicing even more then they have time to allow to devote to their game.
A golf mindset is critical, not only improving one’s self confidence in your ability to play the game but, how your going to react when you start playing poorly and the golf strokes start adding up. How are you going to feel when you lose out to another player’s bet or you have to buy the first round of drinks?
My friend Andrew Scott, a regular golfer like you and me had exactly the same problem and got even more frustrated after every round of golf. It seemed to him that he was suppose to practice a certain way on the driving range. But when he went out on the golf course his struggles became even worse. He started hitting with the wildest slices into water hazards, sand traps and out of bounds.
His power was null and void because he kept hitting the ground first before the ball. Most times topping and never getting the ball airborne. He had no control especially around the greens. He shanked a lot of pitches and chip shots. His self confidence was lacking because he missed a lot of short putts. There were rounds where he had over 40 putts. All caused by anxiety, fears and self doubts. At times you could say he was yipping which should only happen when you get older in life not when your younger.
