Playing a good game of golf is all about focus. In fact, it's about being able to direct your focus at will.

In a matter of moments, you go from chatting with your friends to needing an absolute focus of attention on your play.

The golf swing is easily disrupted by inappropriate muscle tension and your mind can lead your body in having exactly

the right optimum level of muscle tension.

Now there's an important distinction between your state of mind during a practice swing and during a game swing.

In your practice swing, you are fully engaged in the process of making the swing and not a bit worried about the outcome.

You need to be totally absorbed with the process of the swing itself

and not the outcome the swing will produce.

You've got to want to win before you start playing your game, but during the game,

any thoughts of victory need to vanish because they are outcome, and when you

are playing, you need to be pure process.

All thoughts of the last shot you played where the next one after this or how the other players are doing need to disappear.

There is only now and only this action and to play to your full potential your mind has to extend in the right way, which means focus.

This mind training session will instill confidence, focus, and composure so that you become your swing when you make it.

The more you can stay in process, the more you are going to be able

to keep your real swing like your practice swing. This meditation won't teach you the mechanics of your golf swing. To learn

correct technique you need professional coaching, but it will train your mind to

repeatedly and reliably enter exactly the right frame to produce your best swing every time.

Now just close your eyes and begin to go on an inner journey, a journey that will allow

wonderful relaxation in your body,

and deep rest and focus within your mind.

Right now, begin to focus on relaxation spreading to your feet.
