In golf, as in life
How much quality time are you putting into your golf? How much practice time? How much mental practice time? Are you aligning with the flow of Well-Being and letting it happen, or are you struggling against the grain? Are you having fun? Is becoming a better golfer really one of your hearts desire?
All my life I wanted to be a better golfer. I worked really, really hard at it. I beat balls until my hands were bloody. I wiped the sweat off my brow so I could hit some more balls. I kept hoping I would find that magic elixir, the Holy Grail of being able to be in the groove with just the right swing. Year after year I kept getting the same results…until I had a breakthrough.
You see…what it takes is really putting forth the energy – much more than just playing and practicing. Sure, just doing it a lot will get you better results. I was just doing it a lot and it got me to about a 3-6 handicap in my prime. When I didn’t play or practice all that much my handicap would sore up to a 10 or more; I could barely break 80 anymore. Then I decided to recommit myself. I decided to trust the Universe with the power of intention. I decided to delve into my inner demons and really get to the heart of my fears. Yes, it is fear that holds many back from achieving their full expression on the golf course.
Fear of any kind is the number-one enemy of all golfers, regardless of ball-striking and shot making capabilities.”
—Jack Nicklaus
Therefore, if fear is the number-one enemy of all golfers, and who wouldn’t believe the #1 golfer of all time? Then, wouldn’t logic tell us that it is our fear, our inner demons that need to be worked on?
Although I knew this deep down inside – that I played scared golf some of, well probably much of the time to be honest. It took me many years to really, really get it. I needed to own it. I needed to embrace it. I needed to really observe myself and “be with” my fears and simply notice them. For what you look at, disappears. This is one highly effective technique that I use whenever I can. Does it always work like a miracle? Of course not! Yet, the key is to get back in the game. When you commit – I mean fully commit to your desire to play better golf, miracles will happen and you will be shown how. I was practicing and searching for the how before going within myself. I learned you don’t need to know “how,” that it will be shown to you.
The rest of my program is really designed to keep adding more and more beneficial beliefs to our own subconscious mind, which runs everything in our life, including our golf game. Beneficial beliefs gradually squeeze out the negative ones. You really become a new you – if you so desire to invest in yourself. It takes daily commitment. And I know most are unwilling. For those willing to put forth the commitment to playing better golf I invite you to follow me on facebook and on my blog at www.golfissupposedtobefun.com and please interact and post your comments. Together we can!
Be as you wish to seem,

great article Rand. Having reasonable expections is important and making sure that practicing the correct things in order to improve is a necessity.
Yes Nathan exactly, and most are unwilling to invest in themselves. Therefore, they keep getting the same results. Many will give lip service to this concept, then say it doesn’t work. It is the few who will actually do something about it, take action and stick with it. It is the few who will reap the benefits.
