How To Overcome Your Subconscious Mind To Improve Your Golf Game

Golf is a physical game, but more so, it is a mental game. The athleticism of the individual is important, but mental focus and clarity are far more important to a player's ability to perform well.

All golfers tend to demonstrate some level of blocking in their swing. Even the great Tiger Woods tended to block, when joined the professional golfing world.

If you are a serious golfer, and you have studied the career of Tiger Woods, you may have noticed that Tigers' game has improved since he joined the PGA. In recent years, Tiger Woods has demonstrated on the golf course that he has worked hard to eliminate blocking in his swing.

Tigers' willingness to work hard and to improve his golf swing has enabled him not only to stay at the top of his game, but also to bring consistency to his game. It has been through Tigers' consistency that Tiger Woods has won as many tournaments as he has, to become a household name.

Man is his own worst enemy...

If you would like to learn to become a better golfer, you must understand and accept that your golf game will get worse, before it gets better.

Your subconscious mind will struggle with your conscious mind, in its desire to never have to change. Your subconscious mind prefers living in a safe and sane world, where things will always be the same. But, with practice and repetition your conscious mind can win the battle to convert your subconscious mind to a new way of thinking and doing.

Only when your golf swing becomes something you can do, without actually thinking about it, will you begin to see great improvements in your game and your handicap.

If you commit yourself to learning how to improve your golf game, and you commit yourself to retraining your subconscious mind to learn new motor skills, then with time and practice, your golf game will become better.

There is no such thing as an overnight success, even in the game of golf. Becoming a better golfer will require an acceptance and appreciation for the process of retraining the subconscious mind. As you seek to improve your golf game, you will need to commit yourself to overcoming your subconscious desire to avoid the struggle and failure, which are a necessary byproduct of the process of personal growth and development.
