Richard Sterne goes from strength to strength and in picking up the winners cheque in South Africa confirmed his emergence as one of European Tours finest prospects.

JUST BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IT…DOESN’T MEAN IT’S TRUE!!

Can you think of something you USED to believe in that you just don’t believe anymore?

Father Christmas is the obvious one for me that was once an absolute certainty that unfortunately just doesn’t work for me anymore, much as I wish it would!! The ‘tooth fairy’ never quite cut it for me though and I never did get any money under my pillow after losing a tooth!

I have believed SO many things in my life which now seem faintly ridiculous. I did passionately believe that aerobic training…running lots of miles on the running machine in the gym would keep me healthy and fit. Now it turns out running lots of miles at low intensity COULD actually make my heart weaker and make me put on weight. (See Dr Al Sears on the net).

Some cherished former beliefs can just come CRASHING down around you as a result of new evidence.
  - What do you believe is required to take your game forwards this season?
  - What do you believe you need to do to get your handicap down?
Of course, beliefs are personal and it is imperative you find out and believe in something which works for you.

The belief in hours of practice has worked for Vijay Singh yet Colin Montgomerie has been one of Europe’s most successful golfers ever without needing to spend hour after hour beating golf balls down at the range.

The first thing to do with your beliefs is to actually CHALLENGE them and ask yourself is what you are doing to really helping your game.

Then make a plan to either stick to your beliefs and work with them or install some changes.

Asking yourself some good questions about your beliefs is always an interesting and beneficial exercise.

Try these following questions on for size and see how they MAY affect your thinking:

LEGENDARY GOLF HOLES

We had a great response to the opening of our legendary holes feature after starting off with the 12th at Birkdale. Thank you to all of those who contacted me.

We have from Anne Briggs :
“I commend the 1st at Lahinch. The green is perched high on a sand dune left of centre and the land between falls away steeply to the right as well as towards you. The Atlantic is on the left and usually contributes a gale, just to help things along! The hole is truly magnificent as well as being a bracing introduction to a glorious golf course.”

Keep them coming! Send to me at sales@golf-brain.com

BOOK CLUB

Take a look at Geoff Mangum’s ‘Optimal Putting’
Brain Science, Instincts and the Four Skills of Putting on www.puttingzone.com

This is a magnificent contribution to the game itself not just putting. Geoff Mangum's ability to distill information and extensive research into a readable and digestable format is outstanding. For me personally, the information on brain science is gold dust.

If you are a serious student or teacher of the game this book NEEDS to be part of your collection. Go to www.puttingzone.com.
