Golf Tip to Make the Most of Your Time Off the Course ---
Your time off the course can be wisely used in ways that will encourage more frequent Positive Golf experiences on the course. Short segments of time can be used to practice both "inner" mental game skills and "outer" physical game skills. Done regularly, these "mini sessions" build upon each other, bit by bit, like putting bricks in a wall, to create a powerful mental-physical blend (we call it the Positive Golf Blend) that is strong and ready to support your game when you get back to the course. Reading articles and books on self improvement and golf improvement can certainly contribute to this blend by laying the groundwork and filling in some "kinks." But for the most benefit, it is essential to do something with these ideas and put them into practice sooner rather than later, while the ideas are still fresh. So many of these skills, especially the mental golf ones, can easily be practiced off the course. The thing is, people don't often realize they can be practicing these things so easily or the benefits that this practice will yield. The list below provides ten key fundamental things to practice off the course - five for the inner mental game and five for the outer physical game. So, rather than getting "rusty," your mindset and motion can be kept "well oiled" and much better prepared for action and positive results when you get back to the course.
For an expanded version of this list which provides an explanation of each point, send me an email and I will share the latest copy of our Positive Golf newsletter which includes a full-length article on this topic.
