Brain Wave Monitors?

By Jennifer Scott, Clinical Hypnotherapist

On the Buy.Com Tour, volunteer golfers are wearing heart rate monitors. TV viewers can see how fast their hearts are beating. So what? The implication is that the more excited a golfer is -- and the faster his heart beats -- the worse he'll play. Not true.

Jack Nicklaus wanted excitement and he did all right. What The Golf Channel ought to strap on them is a portable EEG -- a brain wave monitor. Because it's the brain -- and swing thoughts -- you want to control. In fact, you want no swing thoughts at all. Bobby Jones said: "If I have no swing thoughts at all, I can play like Bobby Jones."

My clients learn how to clear out all extraneous thoughts by picturing the Target. Target Focus not only replaces swing thoughts, it also lets your body perform the swing automatically. Which lowers your golf score.

And lower scores are good for your heart.
