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!

The Secret is The Law of Attraction…
…And it works every time with everything, including our golf game. So…don’t settle for mediocrity, and don’t settle for less anymore.
First, you must ask for what you clearly want – set an intention, visualize your goal, have a dream… Clearly state your end result, whether it is to break 100, be a 7-handicap golfer by the end of summer, or as in the case of Andrew Ruthkoski from Muskegon, Michigan play on the PGA Tour and be top 10 in the world. Like Nick Faldo keeps repeating, we gravitate toward the picture we are painting. Act as if it is so. If you just pretend on a daily basis, no matter how far-fetched, or scary, or silly it may seem that “it” is yours for the taken. Stars will realign and Providence will move through you – you will be shown how, but not until you fully commit. Visualize your end result…stop…take a snapshot picture of what that looks like, notice where you are now…and then make the necessary changes one at a time.
Step two, the second you commit God / The Universe answers – what you really, really want you get. Likewise, what you really, really don’t want you get. Apply this principle to everything, including what you’re thinking with every shot. Yes, we always get what we ask for – even lack or where we don’t want to go. Wanting something and not having it is a lack mentality. “Ask wisely, with love, for everything you want,” Mark Victor Hansen. Simply let it be and give thanks.
Whenever negative thoughts come up begin shifting your attention and thinking to more and more beneficial thoughts and beliefs – gradually you will drown out the negative ones and one day you’ll wake up a new you, letting go of old foolish self-sabotaging behaviors…wondering how it used to be with a smile on your face appreciating becoming your new desire. There is a process in creating a champion’s self-image, which runs everything in our life, including our golf game.
The third step in this process is that you align with this Well-Being, this pure positive energy and allow it in. This is what golfers call being in The Zone…and you can be there more often than ever before. Just take the next logical step. It’s dream plus action, which equals how plus manifestation. The how’s will be clearly shown once you fully commit. Pretty soon…you’re living the life of your dreams. Be patient and embrace the process – growth can be, and usually is messy. Most will want to quit, run away, or crawl back into their shell – or worse blame others and come up with all kinds of excuses. Take responsibility for being the creator of your life and you will be well on your way. You are God’s greatest creation, and you are meant to win!
I emphasis all of this again and again – because most will fail to set such a lofty goal for several negative based reasons, and many will die with the music still in them. Many have “wishful thinking” thoughts waiting to be ready. Summers pass and years go by. The time is now…and you will not have to think but for one second why you received this message today. Most will think they are undeserving or unworthy. Few will trust in the power of intentions and live the life of their dreams.
Remember challenges, adversity, and obstacles are what builds and strengthens our internal fortitude. We are both challenged in this life and blessed with amazing gifts.
