\u2018Western Movies\u2019<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you of \u2018advanced\u2019 years you will understand what I am about to say. And for those of you that are \u2018younger\u2019, just ask your parents.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you remember those Saturday afternoon matinees at the \u2018flicks\u2019 where you went to see your film favourites such as John Wayne, Alan Ladd and Randolph Scott in the good old western movies?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although the films were different, the theme was the same, boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again and all while fighting the bad guys.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now I want you to use your imagination again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You should consider your golf swing and thoughts to be like a western movie. And the good guys are fighting the bad guys and in this case the \u2018girl\u2019 is enjoyment success and satisfaction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Still with me?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of your \u2019swing\u2019, the good guys are the key fundamentals for good golf of posture, grip and alignment and for your \u2018swing\u2019 the bad guys are usually too strong a right hand grip, bad posture over the ball, poor alignment, not releasing the club from the top and deceleration of the club head. All of these will cause inconsistent and poor golf resulting in the, slices, hooks, pulls, duffs, thins, shanks and total misses that you see every day on the golf course.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of your \u2018mind\u2019 the bad guys are negative thoughts, bad attitude, lack of focus, over stating your own abilities, low confidence, poor preparation, anger and fear and the \u2018mental\u2019 good guys are a good attitude, positive thoughts, relaxation, calmness, good preparation, goal setting, control of anger, concentration, course strategy and most importantly visualisation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So there it is, your overall golf game is like your favourite western movie, make sure that the good guys beat the bad guys and win the girl, which in this case is success, satisfaction or just plain enjoyment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Will this be easy?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The answer is no but do not be scared or afraid because help is at hand and if you contact a suitable coach the \u2018sheriff\u2019 will arrive on his Andalusian stallion, complete with silver star to drive the bad guys out of town. Go on you know it makes sense and as they say in the movies \u201ca man has got to do what a man has got to do\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Go ahead and make my day.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
