Do You Have The Self-Discipline In Putting To Create A Positive Golfing Mindset?

November 9, 2010 by · 6 Comments 


Putting Is All About Having A Positive Golfing Mindset!

Putting is based upon feel and self-confidence.  An average putter believes he  can get up and down in two putts,  no matter what the length of his first putt  is.  A great putter will make 80% of his putts inside of 6 feet, and very rarely will he ever 3 putt from greater distances.  Great putters will take their time to practice on and around the greens. Doing this practicing consistently as a daily routine, they know it must be done in order to keep their edge. Amateur golfers don’t take their time to realize that almost 40% of their golf scores occurs from your putting. Almost 60% if you are chipping around the greens. Yet this is the least practiced! Why is there such a huge difference between these two type of golfers with regards to their golfing mindset when it comes to practicing?  The end results are obvious!

I always felt that this was my strongest part of my golf game.  Anywhere from 100 yards in.  Including chipping and putting.  I have played on many different greens with different types of grass textures, but I always had a knack for reading lines that weren’t there.  I learned by watching others including pro’s, and observing how they prepared themselves to make their next stroke. Golf is based upon having a positive golf mindset,  and self-confidence.  Being focused mentally and prepared especially around the greens.

In the past year this became my weakness. Why?   Because I used to practice when I had the opportunity during the work week to work on my golf skills at the driving range and practice putting green. I would do this three times a week, and then play with the golf club on the weekends. The opportunity to focus and improve was there, and I knew I had to take advantage of it.

Do You Fear Making Mistakes When Your Golf Mindset Isn’t Correct When Putting?

Golf Mindset Is Important When Playing!

If you fear making big mistakes in playing golf then your not alone. Tiger Woods and other great superstars who stand to win big paychecks from making or losing on short putts have this same fear as a weekend golfer.  Taking the safe route has its own costs and rewards.

I had just made a great third shot to within 2ft of the hole on the 15′th hole, it was a par 5 on my home golf course.  I made the no brainer putt to put me two under par for the round. It dawned on me waiting on the 16′th tee that I must be leading the club championship,  and I had the greatest opportunity of my lifetime to break 70,  which I’ve never done before.  It was a realization moment that woke me up out of my dream state that I was in.

Does Learning Through Yoga Mindsets Will Lead To An Improved Golf Swing Mechanics Overall?

Yoga Video Tree Pose - Vrksasana

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.

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?
