As golfers we have many desires in common consistency ability to perform under pressure, ability to respond to the many different challenges faced on golf course, have a trustworthy swing. What it comes down to is somehow we've got to find a way of getting that into our noggin, into a brain. Now, what's puzzling is that the average handicap hasn't improved in the last 30 years. Despite there being a huge amount of information. So, this is one of the many books that I grew up with, fascinated by, about technique what to do but I think what most golfers experience is that it's one thing reading and understanding this, and then transferring that information into your brain to become skill, to become a swing that you can trust. And what it reveals is that the nature of skill building, the nature of learning true physical learning is not simply an information transfer. If it was, anyone that read the book would be great.
In fact, we often find it's the reverse. So what I want to explore in this series is to understand the nature of true physical learning because when you can go about your golf, your game and your practicing in a way that it truly embeds in your brain and potentially play the best golf you've been ever played. We will look at learning catalysts like impact concept, showing you how to develop an intuitive understanding what the club needs to do to hit the shot that you want.
This in turn will help you see the game more simply, just like another bat and ball sport. With a growing ability to create shots and make minor corrections, golf will become much less frustrating and much more intuitive. We'll take a fresh look at the set up and seeing how tearing up the textbook and finding something that's really matches your swing could release the best golf you've ever played. Attempting to fix your swing without experiencing what's really happening now makes improvement temporally and frustrating I will look at how a developing a heightened awareness of your club and your body can pick you back in charge of your swing. By being able to make finer distinctions between your good and bad swings, it makes ingrained technical improvements a genuine possibility.
At it's heart, learning is problem solving and golf serves up multiple opportunities to innovate and create to get out of a tight spot. However it's not just about rescue shots, if you engage the problem solving part of your brain you'll be amazed that how efficient your technique can become solving power problems, accuracy problems or discover the true source of consistency. Although most golfers place their attention on what their body is doing, we will look at the compelling science behind placing attention outside the body. We'll look at how this kind of focus can potentially speed up your acquisition of skill, how easily you retain it, and how it perform under pressure. Few golfers have unlimited time to practice so it's essential that the way in which you practice is compatible with how we naturally are wired to learn Working backwards from proven principles of learning skill will redefine what good practice is and what is require to embed in your brain your newfound ability.
