subject: Golf's a Mental Game [print this page] One of the first concepts golf instructors try to impart, when beginning to teach a new student, is that golf is a mental game. When addressing the ball, a million thoughts cloud your mind. Professionals advise an aspiring golfer to keep it simple' and have just one or two swing thoughts. Good advice, but easier said than done ... unless like the great Tiger Woods you are able to achieve a masters level of mental control. Invariably a novice golfer, or for that matter an experienced one, makes the perfect practice swing which goes completely haywire when actually addressing a ball. What results is a far cry from the original. More often than not the reason is that all sorts of extraneous thoughts intrude, creating a host of doubts. The consequence is an unwitting, mid-swing correction with disastrous results. A golfer should be relaxed and completely satisfied with the grip, the stance and direction, then commit to the swing with total confidence.
Another good lesson many golf professionals are beginning to teach is the importance of skin protection and skin care. Med3 Dermaceuticals is a dermaceutical company that is focused on skincare formulations for golfers.
