What do you BELIEVE?

When you play golf what do you believe to be true for you?

Do you believe you are an unlucky golfer? And then find evidence on the course that proves it!

Do you believe you will make or miss every putt?

Do you always play a certain hole well or another not very well?

Or something else?

Whatever you believe that is true for you, I guarantee you will find evidence to prove the truth. Have you ever heard someone say "I knew I was going to do that" well if they knew why did they do it! Generally, it is negative, a missed putt, a shot out of bounds or something else.

Rarely do I hear after a good shot, "I knew I was going to hole that putt" or "Hit that drive long a straight".

What if, you started to change what you believed and actually looked at being successful, holing that putt or playing that good shot? Would things change?

Well, they would if you started to play and practice with a different mindset.

Golfers who make the statement "I can´t putt" then promptly miss that short putt and cry "There you go I told you so" must get some crazy kind of pleasure from being right. You see one thing your unconscious mind does is always listen to what you say, and when you make a statement it has to look for evidence to prove you are right. It has been doing this since the day you were born. Always listening, always serving and always looking to show you you are right.

What would happen if the mindset was "What do I need to do to make this putt?" or "Which part of the ball do I need to hit to send the ball down the required line?" you have to look for something else, some new information and a new pattern is created.

You may need to find a golf coach who can help you find a way to help you develop more skills so that you have a swing you can believe in. Maybe all those poor shots are your unconscious mind giving you a nudge saying "You need help"

Whatever you do you have a choice, whether you think you can or think you can´t you are right and you will find evidence either way.

Would you like to hole that putt or miss it?

Would you like to hit the ball on the fairway, out of bounds or in the water?

The choice is yours, it is always was and always will be. If you find it is not possible, find a coach who can help you to understand what you need to do.

Whatever you do, enjoy it or do something about it
