What to Focus on in Golf
I just posted my latest golf psychology video. Do you focus on where you want to hit the ball or where you don’t want to hit the ball? I know many of my students focus too much on where not to hit the ball…
“Don’t miss the green and have a tough up and down,” they might be thinking. If you do this, you focus too much on avoiding mistakes or have an avoidance mindset.
You can’t play your best when you think about NOT hitting bad shots. You’ll tighten up and steer the shot away from the trouble. You have to focus on where you want to hit the ball.

Golfer’s Mental Edge
What’s the big sign that your mental game is the weak link in your golf game? When you can’t play consistently as well as when you play a practice or casual round–or your range game is way better than your game on the course. If you suffer from lack of focus, low self-confidence, poor composure or other mental game obstacles on the course, you can’t reach your true potential in golf.
