"Driving Range Golfers"

By Jennifer Scott, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist

You know them - golfers who hit every shot beautifully at the driving range and then make every mistake known to man on the actual golf course. They prove how good they are on the practice facility. And then prove how bad they are on the golf course.

I call them "Driving Range Golfers" and nobody needs "Own The Zone™" more.

Here's the problem. On the driving range they can repeat and repeat a particular shot until they get it right. They discover the fault and think, "Ah, that's what I was doing wrong! I was blah, blah, blah." Then they get into a rhythm. Now they're hitting everything perfectly.

But on the real golf course, their entire problem is between their ears. They think. They try. They analyze. They make the fatal mistake of having a "swing thought" or two and then expect it to happen in the split second before they hit. And as we all know, for the average weekend golfer, this is impossible to pull off on the golf course. Because they're not hitting a bucket of balls. Out here it's one shot at a time.

These guys need help, desperately, to clear their minds and focus on nothing, except the target. After all, they should have confidence in their swing. Didn't they just prove it's good at the driving range?

Besides, you will face situations on the real golf course that you can't ever practice on a mat. Side-hill lies. Sand traps to hit out of. Hazards to hit over. All the challenges that make a golf course interesting. On the real golf course you need a confidence-building, simplifying technique you can integrate into your pre-shot routine.

It's called "Own The Zone.™" And guess what? This one can even help you on the driving range.
