Demystifying Mental Toughness

281 How To Help The Golfer Who Searches For The Perfect Swing

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?
