The MIND4Golf Method

How to play great golf by improving your mental game

Experts agree that golf is anything from 50% to 100% mental. However hard you work on your swing, if your mental game is inconsistent, then your scores will also be inconsistent! Developing the mind is the key to playing to your full potential on every hole. So why not spend more time honing your mind skills, by 'working smarter on your game, NOT harder'. Our programmes are designed for any player (from world ranked PGA tour pro’s to novice amateurs) interested in quickly improving their scores, consistency and enjoyment of golf.

Our programmes, in typically just a few hours, will teach you step-by-step how to get rid of mental blocks, 'hazardous' thinking, lack of concentration, indecision and impatience, negative self-talk, and bad moods like anger and frustration. You will also learn how to improve distance, power and accuracy, and build confidence, concentration and consistency, and get more enjoyment out of the game. Lessons that you can apply straight away, and get immediate improvements in your next round.

We use a broad range of advanced psychological, sensory, cognitive, linguistic, emotional and behavioural tools and techniques to deliver step-changes in playing performance improvement. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is one such methodology. NLP is an amazingly effective and practical method of enhancing performance, and has been well proven to move tour pro’s up the ‘money list’ and world ranking, as well as delivering tournament success. And accelerating amateur’s performance by lowering scores and handicaps, by improving consistency, confidence and enjoyment.

NLP is the study of human excellence. The Neuro refers to our five (or even six!) senses of seeing, hearing, feeling, smell and taste. Linguistic is our verbal and non-verbal (body) language, and Programming refers to our patterns of thinking and behaviour. It is a universal methodology of subjective reality applicable to all human, relationship and sports, performance, communications and change.

As an example, research studies show that results from mental practice are as equally effective as physical play, and take only a fraction of the time. Ideal for time constrained players, no matter whether you are a tour pro playing competitively every week, or an amateur unable to practice and play as much as you would like. Furthermore, since 'perfect practice makes perfect', by sitting in your favourite armchair, and simply imagining playing your best shots on the playing surface between your ears, is guaranteed to benefit your game immediately. Although mental rehearsal is just one part of overcoming mental blocks en route to improved mental resilience, the results at whatever level you play, will be profound. As an added bonus, you may discover these amazing skills can also enhance your business success, advance your career, increase your wealth, improve your relationships and enrich your life.

As opposed to a focus on what’s wrong/problem analysis typical in swing coaching – a ‘faults and fixes’ approach to golf instruction that unwittingly guarantees slow, or even regressive, learning. NLP applied to golf is especially fast, powerful and effective, since it is results-driven, performance orientated and solutions focused. MIND4Golf will enable you to take your game to a new level. As you learn how to harness the power of your mind to play more confidently, enjoyably and consistently.
