As you will know if you have read any of my prior blog posts, the key to good golf is visualization and feel. The more we can learn to synchronize our body and minds towards a clear visual objective, the better. The area where this will be the most rewarding for lower scores is the short game (or the “scoring” zone). Seeing and experimenting with as many different shots as possible will make your body learn to trust and commit to what the mind sees, and remove analytical thought and doubt. A simple technique to move towards this, is to picture exactly where the ball will land on the green and focus upon only that over every short game shot. If you can learn to focus as tightly as possible on this spot, you will be amazed at how much closer you get to it and how much better your scores become. This technique will begin to give you a subconscious understanding of how far the ball releases on the green. The key is to make this an integral part of your pre-shot routine and the more you can remember to do it, the easier it becomes.
