Back when Tiger Woods was laying waste to PGA tour fields throughout the late nineties and the early noughties, the whole world marvelled at the ability of the man.
He hit the ball prodigious lengths that were unheard of then, he also hit the ball very straight most of the time as well.
A deadly combination.
His short game was razor sharp, it seemed like he could up and down the ball from a phone box, let alone a tricky lie in a bunker.
Then there was his putting, which was a complete joke.
Anything inside twelve feet, he’d just hoover up. It’s like he never missed from inside that distance and he holed plenty more from outside that distance as well.
No wonder no one could live with him on the course.
More,
Add to his phenomenal physical talents that were all too easy for people to spot, unbeknown to most, Tiger had a secret weapon at his disposal. A fifteenth club in the bag if you like.
And what was that secret weapon?
His mental ability and control of mind.
You see, way back when Tiger was a youth, he worked with a leading sports psychologist who help him learn the ways of the mental game. The fella’s name was Dr. Jay Brunza, who was a Navy Officer and sports psychologist.
Contrary to popular belief, the great Tiger Woods wasn’t born that way. He had to learn skills such as concentration, focus, dealing with fear and anxiety, coping with pressure and many more.
It doesn’t matter what level of the game you play at, the mind will control the majority of performance and if you wish to play well you have to get the noodle under control.
It doesn’t matter if you are the reigning club champion, the leading player in your society or the young buck taking a trip to the Q school for the first time hoping to make the tour. If you turn up with your mind all over the place, you can guarantee the ball will go all over the place.
Now I know that all the cool kids are talking about distance these days, smash factor this, launch angle that, and don’t get me wrong, distance is very important when it comes to being able to shoot lower scores, Tiger certainly hit is a mile and capitalized on the results.
But did you know that the average player is being robbed of vital yards, through no fault of their own? In fact by utilising what I talk about in this free report, I’ve seen players add 20, 30 even 40 yards to their drives.
And no, it doesn’t involve buying the latests greatest tin can on the end of a stick masquerading as a driver, nor does it involve turning yourself into a gym rat. You can get the skinny here.
Peace.
