How to be a more consistent golfer

Ask a fellow golfer what they'd like to improve most about their game and the overwhelming majority will give you the same answer: CONSISTENCY!

Golf can be a beautiful game. When it's going right.

But unfortunately, as we all know too well, it often isn't going right! Whether it's  mad case of the yips for no apparent reason or we're just having an off day (week or season!) it's soooo frustrating to see your game suffer when you know you can and have done much better.

What it boils down to is that we all want to play our A-Game every game.

Most people would prefer to play their best more consistently, than to improve their best!

Consistency is key. But how do you get it? 

Well, there's a word that Athletes like to use that describes the state that we all know, and desperately want more of....

The Zone

When you're in the zone everything goes right. It's effortless. It's art! Your drives are true and straight and you blast the ball with draw dropping power. Your short game would have onlookers checking for a magnet in the hole and you feel (and look) like a pro.

Would you like to be in the zone more often?

Just imagine the look on your golf buddies faces when you entire game is your A-Game. Silky smooth, precise, powerful and consistent.

Well, according to Karl Morris (the mind coach who helped Louis Oosthuizen win the 2010 Open Championship) the key to consistency boils down to 7 Rituals which are used by the top players in the world.

If you work these 7 Rituals into your game, you’ll unleash the consistent golfer inside you. And your golfing buddies will be green with envy!

A quick and easy way too improve your golf swing

Here's a really simple and quick way to improve your golf swing

Video it!

Or, get a buddy to video it for you :)

Just get your golfing buddy to video your swing with their phone from a few different angles so you can watch it back. You'll instantly notice things about your golf swing that you had no idea you were doing.

If you want to take this one step further compare your swing to a pro. Watch the videos side by side and notice the differences.

Improve your golf swing in 2 ways

You'll be amazed at how valuable this tip is and it'll help you to improve your game in two really important ways.

It'll show you what you should be doing that you're not, so you can focus on that aspect of your swing.

But more importantly, it'll show you what you are doing that you shouldn't be! This is vital information because every swing that you take repeats that same error.

It's like a groove that cuts deeper with each repetition, which very quickly becomes a bad habit. Bad habits are easy to form in golf because you rarely notice that you're doing them. By watching a video of your swing you can identify them and stop them before they become a problem.

If, like me, you prefer to keep your game boosting tactics secrets (so you can beat your golfing buddies without them knowing how) then video yourself next time you're at the driving range.

Take a tripod along and record plenty of videos from several angles. It'll be one of the best (and cheapest) lessons you'll ever have.

How to forget your way to a better golf swing

Swinging a golf club is a mechanical activity with so many variables it boggles the mind. As much as you might try to focus on certain aspects of your golf swing, it's actually beneficial to simple forget everything you know, but with a caveat...

We'll get back to golf in a second, but first let's talk about walking. Walking is complicated. Very complicated. In fact it's so complicated that making a robot that can replicate a human walk requires some extremely complicated math... and genius level engineering skills.

But we can all walk without even thinking about it. And that's the key. We don't think about it!

In fact, if you try to walk by thinking about it, it suddenly becomes incredibly complicated. Try it now. Try to walk across the room by consciously controlling every movement, every muscle, every subtle shift of weight, the lift of your foot, the movement of it through the air and the conscious placing it back down on the floor.

The mechanics of taking a simple step are far too complicated for our conscious mind. To be able to even take one step completely consciously you'd need to have the same level of understanding of the mechanics of a step as a genius engineer would need to build a robot.


So how does this apply to golf? 


All golfers are guilty of trying to consciously swing the club. We think about our stance, our hips, the rotation of the wrist, where to look, the pull back, the follow through all of it!

Instead of consciously trying to control your swing just let it flow. Again with a caveat....

Educating yourself as to what makes a golf swing better is a good thing. Study pro golfers, read about the perfect swing, seek out information that will help you to correct problems that you have with your swing.

But... and this is the secret.... DON'T try to consciously control your swing. Trust that everything you read, learn watch and study about the perfect swing is all absorbed by your subconscious mind. And trust that your subconscious mind can put all of that information into your golf swing. Because it can.... but, and this is the kicker, YOU CAN'T!!!

When you focus on one aspect of your golf swing and try to control it you create tension in your body. This is the enemy of the perfect swing. And more than anything else it'll rob your swing of all of it's power.

Just trust and let it flow... again with a caveat...

The most effective approach ritual for the perfect golf swing

What is your approach ritual right now? Do you even have one? Well, here's an approach ritual that is gonna transform your game. You need to tell you subconscious mind to provide you with a perfect swing, based on everything you've ever read, watch or studied. Your subconscious mind remembers it all, and if you tell your subconscious to control your swing for you, based on this immense wealth of information (which includes every swing you've ever watched by every pro!) then it can deliver something that will astound you, and your golfing buddies.

So how do you do that?

How do you ask your subconscious mind to improve your golf swing for you automatically?

You need to speak it's language! And that's NOT English... or any other dialect!! The language of the subconscious is pictures. But more specifically, pictures of the desired outcome, NOT of the process. So don't visualise your swing at all. Visualise where you want the ball to go.

Visualise exactly where you want the golf ball to land.

This is like a blueprint that your subconscious mind users as its goal. It then digs into the immense wealth of information that you've accumulated from every swing you've ever seen and it controls your body for you to deliver that swing.

You just need to get out of the way and let it happen.
