Thank God my Auntie Peggy sent me to a hypnotherapist when I was 16. Oh yes she did!  Now you hold on to your ‘woo, woo’ thoughts.

What did I learn that helped me throughout my playing career and still does today?  I learned to relax my muscles when I got scared. How? I just did an internal gut check and then I sensed which muscles were being affected.  It was usually my right shoulder shriveling up to my ear as I was propelled at quantum speed by my race mind down the fairway. So . . . once sensing tight muscles, I slowed down and breathed slowly while focusing on relaxing the grabby tension with massage until the pliability and suppleness returned to my shoulder area.

Physical checks are easier to tap into making it possible for a player to turn the tide toward better ball striking. You can feel taut muscles, jumpy tummy, and quick or slow pace walking speed. Not so easy with mental fear bursts disguised as pre-shot routines that look perfect but feed nothing to the ‘how-to-hit-the-shot-instinctly’ mode.
