This weeks episode 123 of breaking Par with Bernard Sheridan celebrates St. Patricks day with our interview of Conn Connolly of Real Irish Golf. Some of the best golf in the world is in Ireland and Conn is a wonderful Host to arrange your entire trip. here is a little about Real Irish Golf.

Real Irish Golf Is Our Passion;

Real Irish Golf is a passion for what we know, understand and love; golfing on the natural links of Ireland. Having done our time in the Corporate world, it was time to stir the soul and engage our passions; a passion for golf, a passion for our authentic links and a passion for Ireland.

Ireland and golf; it's in our blood, it's what we know and do. Be guided by locals as you spring along the rolling fairways of Ireland's championship links. Created by nature and lightly sculpted by Irish Picassos, experience the hidden gems of world golf that have reared champions such as Rory, Padraig, Darren, Graeme and others before. Walk in their footsteps along paths less paved and let yourself go in the beauty, the air, the light, the challenge as you enjoy some of the world's finest links with friends.

Laugh at the madness of nailing a 5 iron 130 yards into a 30 mph wind, do a double-take as the caddie mutters "reload", and feel slightly embarrassed as you putt over humps and hollows 20 yards from the green, but slightly superior when you hole it.

Experience the inescapable warmth, the legendary 'craic' and the tales of the Irish as you travel across this ancient land. Drink in the magical scenery and sure, if the golf isn't great, it will become better as the night wears on.

Let Real Irish Golf be your Irish caddie and experience our passion and knowledge for Ireland and its golf links, as you enjoy the golf vacation of a lifetime.

Steven Yellin is our guest from Fluid Motion Factor.

A little bit about Steven Yellin.

Steven Yellin began his athletic career playing tennis at the age of 12. He competed locally and nationally and won the Florida state high school singles championship in 1971 and was a member of the winning championship team. Recruited heavily, he chose the University of Pennsylvania where he was the number one player on the team. He was a member of the All-Ivy League tennis team in 1973 and had a win over John McEnroe in a dual match during his college career.

As a senior at Penn, Yellin had an extraordinary Zone experience that radically changed his understanding of sports. It was an experience unlike anything he ever experienced on the court before. Though he played on a level never before attained, he realized that the factors that precipitated this experience was something that was not taught in any lesson he had ever taken (and he had taken quite a few!), and for that matter not taught in sports anywhere.

For the next 35 years, he worked on developing a systematic program that allow athletes in every sport to set up the very subtle experience in their mind that allows for Zone experiences. Though he teaches something from a mental level, his program is not based on sports psychology, but rather on a crucial neurophysiological experience that has to occur in an athletes mind in order to play on an exceptionally high level. The inner feeling when athletes have this experience is that time slows down, the intellect becomes quiet and the motion becomes effortless.

Yellin's program is not based on sports psychology because it does not involve emotions, beliefs, attitudes, self-confidence or any type of visualization. Though all these elements are crucial for the development of an athlete, these attributes develop naturally and holistically when they learn his program. This is one of the reasons why the program is so revolutionary and successful. Its uniqueness lies in although it is a mental program and is based on the mind, it does not fall under the rubric of sports psychology. Essentially, the program teaches a golfer how to systematically access the muscle memory they already have.

Yellin's program takes the mystery out of that hit or miss affair and explains what needs to occur in order to play well. He considers himself a 'motion expert', a title that is opening up a new field in sports. A motion expert is someone that understands motion from the most fundamental level and teaches a program that allows someone to consistently repeat where motion originates.

The reason for the lengthy time needed to develop Yellin's program is that when an athlete does go into the Zone, it is a very subtle experience. Athletes, for the most part, are not too sure why they slip into the Zone and hence they have a difficult time replicating it. It is a very subtle dance during a Zone experience and Yellin had to examine that experience from every conceivable angle in order to replicate it successfully and ensure it stays for an extended time.
