Pro Level Golf

No doubt countless golfers have tried traditional approaches to golf psychology (positive thinking and affirmations) to lower their golf scores. Some people have had some success with these, some of the time. But for many players, these attempts at happy, positive thoughts have led to frustration and a sense that they were wasting time.

There’s a reason for this – these traditional mental approaches to improving your game often are a complete waste of time! It isn’t that you weren’t using them often enough or doing anything wrong, or that positive thinking exercises and affirmations have no value; it’s just that you’ve been missing a big piece of the puzzle…

You were practicing DENIAL. And a part of you knew it. You were essentially denying the part of you that knew that what you were affirming, such as “I consistently hit 90% of greens in regulation”, simply was not true.

Even as you were repeating your affirmation over and over again, part of you whispered “bull****”. You could call that part of you the “inner critic“. And let’s face it; the inner critic may have a point. After all, it may be a fact that in the past year, you averaged only 30% greens in regulation so you’re setting up an internal conflict between what you tell yourself, and what you know to really be true. And this can set up a mental block that affects your game dramatically.

The inner critic is the voice of all negative emotions on the course – fear, doubt, anger, embarrassment, etc. It can even be an underlying cause of physical symptoms such as tension, sweaty palms, and a variety of aches and pains.

The “Renegade Mindset Techniques for Golf” System deals specifically with recognizing and eliminating the inner critic. RMT is a sports-specific form of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), the most popular method in the emerging world of Energy Psychology.

Instead of denying its existence, thus allowing it to subtly sabotage our best efforts at improvement, you can focus your attention on it and “clear it” with the simple yet powerful RMT protocols.

Once the negative thought or belief is acknowledged and cleared, a positive affirmation can more effectively take hold in your conscious and subconscious mind. You will have eliminated its competition, and therefore it will be easier to accept.

The RMT for Golf routines always begin with recognition of the negative issue. Then you will focus on that particular issue while “tapping” to eliminate it.

DO NOT be concerned about “being negative“! Remember, it is the acceptance and clearing of the negative that is the key. With the negative feeling/emotion cleared, THEN you can install the positive substitution with ease!
