The Practice Putting Green Is Never Like The Real Ones.

By Jennifer Scott, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist

They may tell you it's cut to the same height. They can swear it has the same roll as the greens out on the course. But I'm here to tell you there's always a big difference between the practice facility's putting green and the real ones out on the course.

And you create it. Because it's the difference between putting for practice and putting under pressure.

Under pressure, your conscious mind takes over and proceeds to ruin it for you. It tells you "Oh, God, you took too big a backswing and you're going to put this ten feet past the hole!" So you decelerate on the forward swing and stub it 10 feet short. Or just before you stroke the ball, it says, "You haven't allowed for enough roll to the right!," so you twist your hands trying to compensate. The result is too disgusting to describe.

What's a thinking person to do?

Well, if you were using my program, your conscious mind wouldn't be trying to fix something in the middle of the swing. You'd trust your practice swing. You'd trust your perceived line. You'd have the ability to be calm -- even under extreme competitive pressure. And you'd have that marvelous feeling that all you have to do is step up and putt the ball into the hole.

On the greens, as on the rest of the golf course, you'd "Own The Zone™."
