Golf is one of the most mentally demanding sports. It requires such a level of mastery that it is the preferred playground (not to say the worst addiction) of anyone who is even a little perfectionist and tenacious.

Golf, a well-oiled machine

It is this intimate conviction of being able to do better next time, of feeling that we can avoid these few blows that separate us from the greatest, that attracts us and pushes us, for the most part, to return to it.

This difference of a few strokes is partly explained by meticulously crafted mental mechanics, by tiny psychological adjustments (mental / emotions), which make it possible to be physiologically ready (sensations) to involve biomechanics (the body) in a way. optimal.

Let us take for example a machine (deprived of this faculty which we have to think, judge, interpret). If we put a driver, an iron, or a putter “in the hands”. It will be enough to orient it well and to give it a precise speed of rotation to always have this same stroke of surgical precision. Let's see what Rory thinks:

We all know that the worst thing that can happen to us during the execution of a blow is to be distracted, thoughtful, absent ..., because they generate these actions, these ideomotor gestures (unconscious and uncontrolled), which lead to fault.

All these subtleties are worked out by focusing mainly on their routine, their way of approaching the course, but also, and this is the most important, during the execution of their stroke. These well-worked mechanisms are the fundamental basis of regularity in golf. They cannot be improvised and require the help of a wise mental management coach to get the most out of them.

It's the uniqueness of these mechanics that will give you the keys to being more focused on what is good for your confidence and your game, and which will move you away from these counterproductive emotions.

By knowing at all times what to do, and what to pay attention to, the best do not doubt, they know, they win.

It is by dint of repetition that you will learn to become aware of the benefits of these subtleties, and that you will thus be able to have a greater influence on your game, a greater margin of progress, and hope to reach this coveted "zone". .
