If we have the intelligence to know this then why do so many golfers continue to make the same mistakes? Are we that stupid to think something will change if we don't do something different?
The times I see people hit a shot , shake their head and mutter to themselves whys that happened again, not once thinking should I be doing something different, they carry on regardless and blame their bad shot on the same old thing.
have a look at your handicap over the last year and see what's happened to it!!
About 5 years ago I made a conscious decision to stop playing competitive golf, I didn't enjoy practising anymore and my golf wasn't what I'd come to expect. As a professional you set your own standard and anything less than that isn't acceptable. Playing in tournaments and making up the numbers doesn't cut it for me, so what was the point i thought!!
However, since I started coaching Positive Impact Golf I have once again found my love of the game, this didn't happen over night, it took about 4-5 months in total, I've rediscovered the love of striking a beautiful golf shot, hearing the unmistakable sound of ball on club face and spine tingling feeling when you see your shot raining down on its intended target.
Discovering what an effortless golf swing felt like and hitting the ball longer and straighter than ever was pure magic to me, I thought those feelings had gone forever but by god they haven't.
My issue now is two fold , do I fully commit to playing again OR do I tell the golfing world about this amazing methodology ? My heart says one thing and my brain says the other.. I think what's nice about this problem is there is no urgency to make a decision.
So ask yourself these questions..
Do I really want to play better golf?
Am I prepared to listen to somebody with an alternative methodology?
Or is that it for me?
These are simple yet very powerful questions, only you can answer them.
Your never too old to change, the love of the game is still as strong as ever when you strike the ball well and it's hard taking the smile off your face when you take the £1 off your playing partners week in week out.
I hope this has put a little fire back in your belly and got you all inspired again.
Don't follow the pack, get out of your comfort Zone , see how good you really can be ...
