Having researched the subject of golf psychology for some time I would like to hear from fellow golfers as to what extent they are aware of this subject, whether they have found any useful tips and drills in this area or if they have any problems I may potentially be able to help them with from my research so far. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Nick,

I find the subject fascinating, I know of this website - http://www.golfmindfactor.com/ with Karl Morris. I had a session with him when working at Golfbreaks.com a good few years ago. I think it's incredible how much of a focus pro golfers put on the mental game, yet us club players, as a majority, don't really consider it at all!

I hope the website is a success for you.

Nick i am a registered NLP Practitioner (R Bandler, Accreditation) for Sports & Golf maybe we can chat sometime.

It is amazing how much NLP can help people in their game and it's the bit that seperates the very good players from the journeymen amateurs.

To fellow members if you need to resolve any issues or even talk about how NLP can help you to make positive changes in golf and your lifestyle then please contact me to discuss further.

Hi Tim, thanks for your good wishes. I know a few tour pros that have worked with Karl and all have the highest praise for him, as you probably know he has worked with Darren Clarke who he produced a book with called"Golf-The Mind Factor" there's no doubt he knows his stuff.

Ha, Ha you have found the fault with the refresh button Nick, whenever you refresh it adds a copy of the thread you can however delete it using the "delete reply" link at the bottom of your comment.

Yep Wayne, found it, thanks for the heads up. Thanks to everyone for their comments so far, forgive me if you post anything and I'm slow in responding over the next few days but my Daughter gets married on Saturday. The war department is getting a bit hysterical when I'm online as the weather is starting to play a bit of a role. We've got guests from the States who were diverted to Prestwick this morning, (wedding in London), bridsesmaid trapped in Newcastle and usher in Wales whose already set off but has given up, think there might be more tears than Saunders.

Still, on the plus side there's a few pals coming who've played Ryder Cup, European and US tour golf so maybe more insights to add to my site.

Good weekend to all, back next week.

I think there's no other sport like golf for the psychology side of things.

I don't see the need for the average club golfer to take it the same level as a tour pro. If they are thinking positively, and concentrating on hitting it within 10ft from 200yds, they have the skills to back that up, where as the club golfer no amount of psychology will help him make that shot, he needs to skills first.

Where it has helped me is in little areas. A good pre shot routine, things like not choosing a cheap battered ball to tee off over water on a par 3, or when teeing off on the 1st hole. You use a knackered ball, you look down at it, and already you're thinking it's going in the water, and it generally does. Thats not saying I never hit a good ball into water, but not willing it in seems to reduce the chances of it happening.

Hi Guys, I've recently been sent a book by American author Josh Karp to review. I thoroughly recommend it, you vcan read the full review on my web site www.golfpsychologyonline.com

Golf psychology I've never really thought about.

Sports psychology and understanding the merrits I get, I think I may have tuned Sports Psychology to golf but dont use golf specific.

Wayne can you pick that up from my answers? if you can I dont know where to look!
