IOG Mental Performance Tips

Ten Top Tips from our Mental Performance Director

We know golf is supposedly played 90% between the ears. Here are David Niethe’s keys to unlocking the secrets

• Have the best of intention let go the outcome.
• Breathe in for 4 seconds; hold for five, breath out slowly. You’ll feel calmer in an instant.
• Know your limitations and play smart. Don’t let your ego select your club or shot.
• Focus on what you want – not what you want to avoid.
• Get perspective – not peeved! You may have just missed that easy par or putt but your alive and well in one of the world’s most beautiful countries – enjoy it.
• Take time and enjoy a well formed pre-shot routine, taking a few seconds to clarify will drop shots and speed up play.
• Get a coach. We have some of the best in the world so use them.
• Laugh a lot and give as much positive energy to the bad shots as you do the good one.
• If you don’t know, pretend like you do. Seriously, walk into that tough bunker shot like your Tiger Woods. If you pretend your brilliant you might just surprise yourself.
• Be honest, if you want to really improve ask your yourself are you really putting in enough effort.
