Track your mental performance on the course. Each page of the scorecard has room for notes on 18 holes and 7 shots per hole( of course you won't need that many shots, but just in case). It also has spaces for your mental goals for the round and cues for using our "4 Questions" technique after any shot that your play poorly. Like having a coach in your pocket. This will help you stay focussed on the mental side while playing. Ten pages per book. On the back of each tear out sheet is a short post round rating form. This should be completed some time after the completion of the round. This tool will help you gain insight into your mental errors and quantify how you are doing. This will then lead to adjustments to your mental goals and better performance the next round. You will learn more from your worst rounds than from your best if you evaluate your performance after the round. After all you don't want to continue making the same mistakes. This tool will also give your GolfPsych Instructor good insights into what is happening during the round.  The Mind Meter is introduced and used at all Level 1 Schools, the Mind Meter can be purchase at the school Mind Meter The Mind Meter, an RSA monitor, measures how busy or quiet your mind is. Your level of mental activity is displayed as a number between 00 and 99. Learning to quiet your mind to play any golf shot or putt is critical to good performance. Most players are thinking about the wrong things, anxious or working hard with the left side of their brains to play a shot. Operating in this way makes it much harder to play good golf shots and putts consistently. Through our research with players on the golf course we have found that everyone has an optimum level of mental activity for full shots and a lower level of mental activity enhances short game skills and putting. The Mind Meter enables you to quantify these levels and learn what they feel like. It gives you the ability to practice playing at the optimum level of mental activity for the type of shot you are executing. It will raise your awareness of the subtle changes in your level of mental activity. It will help you learn to manage your thoughts and level of tension to play your best golf! The ability to measure your level of mental activity on the golf course has never been possible before. The player that learns to manage their mental game based on the shot they are playing will play better and play in The Zone more often. Consistency will improve and you will play to your true potential.   "The Eigth Traits of Champion Golfers" -- Bobby Jones Every golfer spends countless hours working on the technical aspects of his or her game. Checking one's grip, adjusting one's stance, tinkering with one's swing technique -- these are all activities that have ceaselessly been drilled into a golfer's routine. What many instructional books -- and many professional teachers -- fail to address is the most important tool a golfer can bring with him or her to the course: A strong mental game. In The 8 Traits of Champion Golfers, Dr. Deborah Graham and Jon Stabler explore the eight fundamental areas that make up a strong mental approach to the game and explain why these are the mental areas in which every champion golfer excels. Using their copyrighted GolfPsych program, Graham and Stabler present a revolutionary approach to golf. By identifying the eight individual personality traits that are essential to a strong golf game, the authors have illuminated the critical qualities that separate true champions from the equally talented run-of-the-mill professional golfers on tour. The unique ongoing demands of high-pressure tournament golf cast a harsh magnifying light on the psyches of those who thrive in that arena. By studying these golfers, and isolating their strengths, Graham and Stabler point the way to a better approach for all golfers regardless of their level of skill. Through a series of questions and techniques, the GolfPsych method challenges readers to explore the crucial elements of their personalities so that they can compare themselves to and emulate the greats of the game: Lee Janzen, Dave Stockton, and Michelle McGann, who are all GolfPsych clients and all champions. The authors have isolated these special traits as follows: - Focus
- Abstract Thinking
- Emotional Stability
- Dominance
- Tough-Mindedness
- Self-Assurance
- Self-Sufficiency
- Optimum Arousal
The 8 Traits of Champion Golfers is a unique approach to the teaching of golf. Graham and Stabler have given us the first true golf self-help book based in solid research and delivered in a helpful, reassuring fashion. Much like Harvey Penick's Little Red Book and Steven Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The 8 Traits of Champion Golfers provides an unparalleled look into the human psyche and presents ways in which any person can improve his or her self through time-tested methods. By presenting this unique way to improve one's golf game, Graham and Stabler have also presented a great way to improve the quality of one's life. Synopsis
In a breakthrough book on the mental aspects of golf, the leading psychologist on the PGA, LPGA, and Senior PGA tours shows how to test your personality traits against the game's greats--and use the results to play better golf. From the co-author, Dr. Deborah Graham
"Always looking for a way to combine my love of sport and psychology, I found golf. After personally playing, or working with athletes from a myriad of other sports, golf emerged as the most difficult mentally!Years of exciting work and reasearch are combined in this book to share with you proven techniques for improving both your skills and your enjoyment of the game. Trying to make it both entertaining and instructional, we were kindly given persmission by many or our PGA,LPGA and Sr. PGA Tour clients--as well as a number of amateurs, including a housewife from Pennsylvania and a businessman from California--to use their trials and triumphs as fun, informative examples. If you or someone you know loves the game, we are certain some of the recommendations here will breath new life into an old game, renew the fun that has been lost, inspire an avid beginner and lower the stroke average of all who take it seriously. We hope you enjoy learning about yourself and how your personality influences your play--and that you feel the same excitement as our clients when you discover how much easier and more fun the game can be by simply changing some habits of thought! We would love to hear your comments!" |
