How to Get a Head Start in Golf What can golfers do when they cannot get out playing for whatever reason? Do you just put the clubs away and forget all about the game until the opportunity to play returns? Just because you are injured, or haven’t got the time to play golf doesn’t mean that you can’t be doing something productive with your golf game. What can you do? How can you brush up on your game of golf? The one most important, most vital thing all golfers can and should be doing is improving upon their mental skills. What do I mean by this?
You sit in your favorite chair, you feel nice and warm and peaceful, you close your eyes and relax; and as you relax you picture in your mind’s eye a putting green, picturing the putting surface, its color, its contours, and the pin placement. You see the ball lying there, round and white, and you imagine yourself lining up the putt, assessing the distance, feeling the putter in your hands, taking your practice strokes, and then stepping up to the ball, taking a final look at the hole and then you stroke the putt. You see the ball run smoothly along the line that you chose and at the perfect pace so that it just rolls over the lip and into the cup – fantastic! You just made a great putt and it feels great too.
