How To Improve Golf Swing With Visualization

If you are looking for answers to how to improve golf swing, you are definitely not alone. There are plenty of golfers out there who are having this exact problem and are looking for a solution.

The key in better golf is in the focus itself, just being focused in the game and not getting distracted. Like any other game that requires high level of mental focus and concentration, like chess or any other competitive sport. Example for golf - when you are in the field and your mobile phone rings, your boss or your employee gives you some info. If info is critical, or urgent or even a simple message that makes you think about work instead of the game, then you just lose it, your game just goes down the tube.

Focus in golf just means being able to concentrate on the game without being affected by outside "noise". The bigger battle, however, is often the "inside noise" that sometimes gets created unconsciously.

For example :-

You are now in front of a pond (water hazard). To clear the pond, you have to hit 200m. If you are a weak player, you don't want to take chance, because you are not too confident of hitting the ball over 200m. So you take 2 x 100m shots to go around the water hazard. But if you are not weak, but also not too consistent in your long shots, then that’s where the devil takes over your mind.

You are "greedy" and want to clear the hazard in 1 shot instead of 2 (the lesser number of shots the better), so you can beat your competitor. If you can’t focus on the job at hand, then when you start to address the ball, you get intimidated by the stretch of water in front of you and start to get less confident in your attempt, and doubts gets into your mind. This "loss of focus" affects the muscle co-ordination and consequently, the swing, and the ball lands in the water. Then the player cursed and the snapshot of the failed attempt is sent to his mind and then carried forward to the next hole, and the next game, and so on…

So how did being focus and how visualization help Joyce?

Another aspect to better golf is visualization - you need to form the "shape" of your shot before you hit it.

Example :-

Scenario

Your ball is on a spot where the hole is 200m in front but towards your left side.

If you just hit straight 200m, your ball will end up missing the hole. So you break your play into 2 shots - hit the 1st shot 100m straight in front of you, then face left and hit the ball towards the hole. Better players like a professional golfer can hit golf ball in fairway a curve shot so that the ball can skew towards the left and land closer to the hole. To do this, he must first create an image in his mind on where he wants the ball to land. This visualization is crucial, else the ball may end up in a bad position, like inside a wooded area among trees or in tall grasses. Then he goes through the swing in his mind - and imagine he hits the ball, it goes through the air, takes a slight turn to the left, falls on the fairway, bounced three times, rolls forward and stop 50m away from the hole. Now, what actually happens is usually quite different from what is visualized in the minds of the average golfer. The average golfer, often do not visualize the entire process. Instead their minds are cluttered with their daily "noises", unable to focus and concentrate.

If you are not seeing improvement in your golf game, you need to step back and think about what happen when you are in the fields. Observe what your mind is thinking and take note. Then try the visualization process and if possible, get the Attraction Accelerator to help your mind stay focus.
