A lot of golfers get really hung up about visualising their shots. They have heard mental coaches talk about the importance of seeing the shot ‘clearly’. They see vivid images on TV of shot tracers and often the feeling is one of deficiency.

Over the past 25 years or so of working in this field I have come to know that creating a clear INTENTION of the shot you are about to play is important but worrying about the quality of your visualisation isn’t.

Delve into various aspects of improving one's golf game through unconventional strategies and mindset shifts. From breaking free of formulaic play to embracing a more spontaneous approach, we explore how golfers can enhance their performance by focusing on enjoyment and adaptability. Personal anecdotes highlight the benefits of playing with fewer clubs, using forward tees, and participating in endurance golfing events. Discussions with experts Jim Waldron and Fred Shoemaker offer insights on winter training techniques, emphasizing the importance of grip strength, swing control, and comprehensive movement pattern changes. Additionally, we stress the significance of mental approach, endorsing practices like journaling, gratitude, and viewing golf as a reactive challenge. By overcoming rigid methodologies and engaging with the game creatively, golfers can enhance both their experience and performance.
