MAGIC McDOWELL!! CONGRATULATIONS!
In an absolutely amazing display of mental toughness and cool efficiency, Graeme McDowell hit the greatest shot of his career to win the Ballantine's Championship in Korea.

After finishing with two rounds of 66 at the weekend and shooting 24 under par for the tournament, McDowell just couldn’t shake off the warrior like Indian golfer Jeev Milka Singh.

Having to play the 18th hole THREE times in a sudden death play off it took a 7 iron hit absolutely stiff to secure victory for McDowell.

A client of The MIND FACTOR I have had the pleasure of working with Graeme for the last five years on his personal MIND FACTOR and if you get the chance to see the highlights, take a look at how he handled himself in the play off using specific breathing techniques and MIND FACTOR rituals.

Many of these SPECIFIC tools are revealed for the first time in The Players Programme. See www.golf-brain.com for details.

TAKING ACTION

It has been a funny old start to this year. All we seem to hear at the moment is doom and gloom about the credit crunch, property prices falling and the general idea that the ‘party is over’.

It is incredible how all these combined media messages can infiltrate our mind and begin to act at the unconscious level.

What are all these messages promoting? FEAR
The problem is that when the brain goes into a fearful state it tends to withdraw, it tends to hold back, it tends to shy away from just about anything.

Now, I am not saying for one minute things are not going to be challenging in the months and years ahead but the ONE thing which will be absolutely deadly to your future is INACTIVITY.

When we are fearful we tend to go into a STANDBY mode and life is only happening to other people.

Inevitably our golf can also reflect life’s bigger picture. It becomes too wet or too cold to go and play, you end up waiting another week to book that long overdue lesson, you don’t work on the aspects of your mind that you need to.

We become STAGNANT and fall prey to the terror of COMFORT ZONES.

As I have often said before, you will only change behavior with behavior.

It is no good sitting and thinking about what you are going to do. In many ways in society I believe that we pay far to much homage to ‘thinkers’. I am always very wary these days when people describe themselves as great ‘ideas people’. Yes, thought does precede action and is absolutely necessary for innovation but we need to pay homage and live with the principle of IDEAS and ACTION.

We have become burdened and too top heavy with too much thinking and analysis which again is so often reflected in our golf game.

I am not talking about becoming reckless and abandoning any form of rational analysis, but imagine no matter how tough times may be, all of your fears can be reduced by ACTION.

• With that in mind what are you going to DO now?
• What is it that you need to take ACTION on?
• How do you need to invest your time?
• How can TODAY have an impact on your life?
  

Let other people spend time in inactivity and worry whilst you TAKE ACTION.

BOOK CLUB

EXTRAORDINARY GOLF
by Fred Shoemaker

I have often made reference to Fred’s work in the past. Just to say that this book is a wonderful read and a great exploration of how the mind can get in the way of great golf. Particularly useful in terms of learning about how to ‘still the mind’ and the power of attention.

LEGENDARY HOLES

This time the great hole is the world famous 17th on the West Course at Wentworth.

A daunting par 5 with out of bounds all the way down the left hand side. Recently extended, this hole has been heartbreaking to many scorecards over the years in the World Matchplay and PGA Championships. It is a hole we have seen so many times on TV we feel we have already played it!
