Does the perfect golf swing exist? NO.  Does the perfect golf swing equal lower scores in golf? NO – Yet many golfers continue to strive to attain the “perfect swing.”  This is the topic of conversation today, where David and colleague Colm O'Donoghue talk about the problem with this approach and the implications for your golf game.  They also share some advice on what you could consider doing to improve your scores and your enjoyment of the game.  Key Learning Points:  Studies suggest that the variation in technique between low handicap amateurs and professional golfers is similar.    Consider how you practice your golf, if you practice solely in a technical manner it is likely to tie you up in knots and show in your golf scores.  Split your practice into technical, performance, process and creative practice.  Do you ever consider how you can access a flow state and what a flow state is for you on the golf course?  Connect with David Charlton  Join David @ The Sports Psychology Hub  Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN  Podcast Episodes To Help Golfers Improve Their Scores  Ep017: Gio Valiante – How to Play Fearless Golf  Ep089: Will Shaw – How To Transfer Your Golfing Skills To The Course   Ep101: Compilation – 25 Mental Game Secrets to Improve Your Golf  Other Valuable Resources To Help Children, Young Golfers, Parents and Youth Sport Coaches  Youth Sports Psychology Library   Conversations With Kids Ideas  Frequently Asked Questions - Sport Psychology for Children and Parents  Resources To Support Golfers So That They Score Better  Frequently Asked Questions on Golf Psychology and Golf Mental Skills   Golf Psychology and Mental Skills for Golf Library  8 Better Ways to Practice to Your Golf  Do You Obsess over the Perfect Golf Swing?  Are You Missing Shots Before You've Started Your Swing 

David Charlton hosts the Demystifying Mental Toughness podcast with his colleague and a fellow competitive amateur golfer, Colm O'Donoghue today.  Colm discusses his journey from playing golf as a child to returning to the sport in his mid-20s, driven by an interest in the psychological aspects of golf.  He shares his struggles with perfectionism and the importance of maintaining a present-focused mindset. Together they talk about a case study of a young golfer, who excels in match play but struggles with stroke play due to focusing too much on the score.  Colm and David emphasize the importance of a pre-shot routine in maintaining his focus and staying present, which can help manage his arousal levels, in turn, lowering his scores. Key Learning Points: ·        Trying to play perfect golf and focusing too much on the score can impact enjoyment of the sport. ·       Colm explains the difference between match play and stroke play, emphasizing the reset nature of match play and the need to focus on the process in stroke play. ·        Self-awareness is critical, recognising and being able to reset when you are ahead of yourself and predicting future holes, shots or score and identifying when you are stuck in the past, dwelling on mistakes.

On this episode we have Raymond Prior yet again. If you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time you know who he is. But in case you haven't he is a performance consultant to high performers in many different industries, and works with player at the top of the golfing world. As you've probably heard me talk about before, he is dropping his new book Golf Beneath the Surface: The New Science of Golf Psychology. It will be available May 9 so the link to go grab it is below. We get into a ton as always but here's some of the interesting topics we get into: Why Tiger gives such good chipping lessons Can you force yourself to think perfectly during the golf swing? Why labelling things as good and bad is unhelpful What can you do to change bad golf habits? What is “being present” and why is it important?

Welcome to part 2 of 2 where Raymond Prior, PhD and I work through another set of common golf psychology myths. If you haven't listened to part 1, I highly recommend it. In part 1 we talked about myths and cliches like “just be positive”, why distracting yourself is unhelpful, how you can't just will the ball into the hole or make yourself focus, and it's impossible to just forget a bad shot. We also had a little bonus at the end talking about block vs random practice and how much you should be challenging yourself in practice. In part 2 we talk about what's deceiving about the common wisdom surrounding nerves and anxiety, perception vs. reality, muscle memory, pre-shot routines, alcohol helping your anxiety, sleep being optional, and we take a deep dive on the yips that you're not going to want to miss. ----- Raymond Prior, PhD: ⁠Raymond Prior's website: btsmindset.com⁠ ⁠Amazon book- Golf Beneath the Surface: The New Science of Golf Psychology⁠ ⁠Raymond Prior, PhD on Twitter: @bts_mindset ----- Episode topics: 00:00 Intro 02:50 Myth # 4 - “Nerves = Anxiety” 14:12 Extra - Yips deep dive 20:35 Myth # 5 - “Perception is Reality” 26:40 Myth # 6 - “Muscle memory” 29:24 Extra - Pre-shot routines - Need em or not? 32:55 Myth # 7 - “Alcohol for 1st tee anxiety” 43:25 Myth # 8 - “I don't need to sleep” 48:27 Extra - The best thing to do after you get a golf lesson ----- ⁠⁠Take the Mental Game Assessment⁠⁠ and learn your top mental game traits and your areas in most need of improvement. ----- ⁠⁠Click here to sign up⁠⁠ for The Mental Re-Grip ⛳️ newsletter to receive golf psychology help in your email inbox every-ish Tuesday. ----- Have a suggestion for a topic or guest? ⁠⁠Drop your suggestions here.⁠⁠ ----- Prefer reading, but somehow found yourself here in audio land? ⁠⁠Click here to check out the Foundations Mental Performance blog.⁠⁠ ----- Are you a competitive golfer?

In Dr. Prior's upcoming book Golf Beneath the Surface (Amazon link to purchase--not an ad), a major theme is how the cliches and catch phrases and mental tips and tricks that we've heard so many times are mostly just myths. They've been generally accepted as truths but don't actually have much or any supporting evidence to back them up. So you could look at this episode as a teaser for the book and some of the deeper evidence based psychology that you will learn reading it, but I think equipping yourself with this knowledge will allow you to be more informed in fact checking what you read and hear, as well as how to specifically apply the actual scientifically backed psychology that will help you play better golf. ----- Raymond Prior, PhD: Raymond Prior's website: btsmindset.com Amazon book- Golf Beneath the Surface: The New Science of Golf Psychology Raymond Prior, PhD on Twitter: @bts_mindset ----- Episode topics: 00:00 Intro 02:42 Myth #1 - “Just be Positive” 11:51 Myth #2 - “Distraction techniques” 23:50 Myth #3 - “Willing the ball into the hole” 34:02 Myth #4 - “Just forget about a bad shot” 39:38 Extra - “How much block/technique practice should I be doing?” ----- ⁠Take the Mental Game Assessment⁠ and learn your top mental game traits and your areas in most need of improvement. ----- ⁠Click here to sign up⁠ for The Mental Re-Grip ⛳️ newsletter to receive golf psychology help in your email inbox every-ish Tuesday. ----- Have a suggestion for a topic or guest? ⁠Drop your suggestions here.⁠ ----- Prefer reading, but somehow found yourself here in audio land? ⁠Click here to check out the Foundations Mental Performance blog.⁠ ----- Are you a competitive golfer?

Golf Psychology is only for top, elite professionals such as Rory McIlroy or Jon Rahm.  Only work with a Golf Psychologist if you have a problem. A Golf Psychologist will fix you in one session. Working with a Golf Psychologist will take place on a “couch.” These statements are all myths that some golfers believe are true yet couldn't be farther from the truth.   The role of a Sport Psychologist who supports golfers is varied.  It includes sitting down strategizing and going “deep” at times with the use of psychological skills training.  However, it also includes considering more helpful ways to practice and how to manage your time on and off the golf course.  Sessions can take place in a club houses, in confidential spaces, on putting greens, chipping greens, driving ranges and on golf courses. In today's episode of the Demystifying Mental Toughness Podcast, Dr Brian Hemmings joins me  where we discuss his work as a Sports Psychologist in golf, the importance of the relationship between the practitioner, the coach and client, as well as frequent challenges faced by golfers, quiet eye training and a lot more.  Enjoy Tuning in! Key Learning Points: There is less of a stigma of working with a psychologist in golf than a lot of sports. The golf environment is a lovely place to work for a golf psychologist. Many golfers lose confidence so quickly when playing competitively. The relationship you form with the golfer is critical. Experiential knowledge of working with players on putting greens and seeing them behave differently in practice has helped me in my work. Expectations that people place on themselves can mean they make golf a lot more difficult than it needs to be. Quiet eye training is very helpful for improving short putting. Many golfers find transitions very challenging, from the step up to national squads to, turning professional to moving up to the DP World Tour.

In today's solo episode I talk about golf and what my role as a Sport Psychologist or Golf Performance Psychologist looks like, common challenges that golfers bring to me, difficulties that we experience as Sport Psychologists when working with golfers and a case study to highlight more about my approach to helping golfers shoot lower scores and enjoy the game more. Enjoy tuning in! Key Learning Points: Typical challenges that golfers bring to me are; hitting the ball well on the range however they're not able to transfer this on to the golf course and score well, not being able to stay present and convert after good starts, dealing with feeling anxious and slow starts and temper tantrums.    Generally 6 hours+ support with a golfer can make a huge difference to them. Many golfers lack commitment when working with a Golf Psychologist. Learning from mistakes is a common difficulty for golfers who simply think that the answer is to try and improve their technique. I always ask myself the question, is this tool going to help the golfer attain their goals and shoot lower scores? It is possible to break through a glass ceiling and turn 69s into 65s.

When you aren't playing as well as you'd like it is easy to focus on the things that are causing you frustration. You don't have to be a club-thrower to have challenges with negative thinking. But a little bit of negativity can take a toll on a big portion of your game. Honestly, there's no place for negativity on the course if you want to play well. Operating with the wrong kind of mindset will simply prevent you from getting the results you want. Good rounds require a positive outlook on yourself and your ability to play.Strengthening your mental game requires self-awareness before you can improve your self-management. In alignment with that approach, it's important to understand the typical sources of your negative thoughts, how negative thoughts can hurt your round, and how you can begin thinking more persistently so your thoughts improve your performance.In this episode, you'll learn how to infuse your rounds with the kind of thoughts that improve scores and avoid the ones that can derail you.Here's how this episode plays out...[6:39] Understanding the Source of Negative Thoughts - In order to combat your negativity, you've got to know where it's coming from. [10:05] 4 Kinds of Thoughts That Can Increase Poor Shots and Bad Holes - While there are lots of thoughts that can negatively impact your rounds, here are the 4 most common I come across in my work with golfers that you'll want to avoid.[16:31] 5 Kinds of Thoughts That Improve Scores - You can be more proactive to develop and play with thoughts that enhance your rounds and make it far easier to bounce back following a disappointing shot.[16:55] 1. Grateful Thoughts [17:28] 2. Scholarly Thoughts [18:08] 3. Humorous Thoughts[18:55] 4. Flexible Thoughts[19:34] 5. Present-Centered Thoughts[22:32] Episode Summary - Here you will find a quick synopsis of this episode.

One of the biggest complaints golfers I hear golfers express about the game is how long it can take to play. But the last thing you want to do in response to slow play is to rush because that strategy can actually add time to your round.The strategies in this episode are practical and centered around the parts of the game you can control because other people's pace of play is not. I am constantly hearing the frustrating and disappointing stories of rounds when someone tried to make up for another's pace of play. It's simply an approach that is going to backfire on you.I am not suggesting that you should play at a slow pace that prevents you from staying in position relative to the other golfers on the course. I believe that you should take a quality approach to every shot and set a pace that enables you to do that.In this episode, you'll learn how to respond best to external and internal motivations to speed up your pace, and three ways you can better prepare for your next round so you play more efficiently.Be sure to grab your free copy of the one-page highlight sheet by heading to https://trainingforoptimalperformance.com/017Here's how this episode plays out...[8:04] Why you might be rushing - There's never a good reason to speed up your pace of play because by doing so you invite negative consequences.[10:39] How to be sensitive to the pace of your body - Emotional stress can also compel you to rush but there are signals your body gives to help you know when you need to get your pace back under your control.[13:13] 3 ways you can improve your pace of play before you play - Discover the three strategies that will help you play more efficiently.[13:46] #1: Reviewing the course - Take time to refamiliarize yourself with the course you are about to play so that you limit the surprises and unforced errors that could catch you off guard.[14:36] #2: Adjusting your strategy - Review the holes where you've lost shots, balls, or found yourself in tough situations to adjust the way you plan to play them.[15:41] #3: Taking a simple focus to the course - Select one thing you wish to take action on that will help you play better or more consistently in that area of your game.[18:16] Episode Summary - Here you will find a quick synopsis of this episode.

I recently read ‘Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect' by one of the leading Sports Psychologists Bob Rotella. It is simple, thoughtful and effective way of improving your game quickly.Bob talks about many different mental strategies such as visualisation, self talk, expectation management and more.Listen as i break down the book into 7 key areas

If you've ever been in one, it can be pretty scary to feel like you are headed into a slump in golf. That's a place you never want to be, and the good news is that it can be avoided.The scary part of a slump are the unknowns - not knowing exactly how you fell into onenot knowing exactly how you will get out of oneand not knowing how long you might be stuck in oneSlumps can feel like getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle with no way out in sight. You just have to know the warning signs and steps to get back on track fast. That's why in this episode I share the top 6 ways to get out and stay out of a slump in golf.

When you head to the golf course for a tournament or golf event, the more mentally prepared you are the better shot you have of taking more of your talent to the course. And being prepared means anticipating areas that might be an issue for you. In this episode, I share with you the steps to take to mentally prepare for a golf round. This is part of the process I teach my clients in private coaching and in The Golf Brain Masterclass.I show you how to clean up your thoughts so you are prepared to play to your potential.

The conversations you have on the golf course matter to your performance. You might blame your game or skill on your poor performance when the answer is really the topic of conversation and the time you give yourself to think. In this episode, I share what NOT to talk about and  what good players talk about. I also discuss how to handle people in your group who talk too much or about topics that are not ideal.At the end of this episode, I share a VERY embarrassing story of a time I caddied ont he PGA Tour and absolutely said the wrong thing!There are 3 ways to work with me and you can learn more at MasterYourGolfBrain.comKathyHartWood.com
