Close your eyes and take three deep breaths,
In and out.
Imagine that you are in the middle of a beautiful fairway.
Your ball is lying 100 yards from the pin,
Just as you had planned.
You are standing behind the ball and looking at the target,
At exactly where you now plan to hit this shot,
Onto the green.
You glance down at the ball and back up at the target.
You continue your pre-shot routine and are now lined up to the ball with the right club.
You feel your hands gripping the club,
Your body feeling relaxed and yet strong.
You have your target and now as you set up and are ready to execute your shot,
All other thoughts leave as you breathe out any tension and as you take one more quick glance at the target and then back down at the ball,
The picture of that target is still fresh in your mind and you see it still even as you look down at the ball.
Without hesitation,
You take the club back with your eyes focused on the ball and your body movements given completely over to the subconscious mind.
You bring the club back down the swing plane on its path toward the ball,
Knowing exactly where to bring this club,
An extension of you right now,
Making absolute perfect contact at just the right angle and speed.
The club continues driving forward into your follow-through as the ball has already made that beautiful sound off the clubface and you don't see it yet because your head is still down,
But it is soaring toward the target flawlessly.
All is happening so fast,
But here all is slowed down so much that you felt that perfect impact when the club hit the ball squarely on the clubface and how exhilarating it is to actually feel the compression the ball makes as the clubface contacts the ball and releases into the air directly at your intended target.
You finish your follow-through,
Looking up to now see the ball heading for the green and landing just where you visualized it and rolling just a few feet from the cup.
You smile,
Appreciating the amazement of your body to perform such a movement that there is no way you could consciously walk through one thought at a time.
But here in your imagination,
You realize just how gifted you are to be able to do such things by just willing them to happen from the trust you hand over to your subconscious.
You say to yourself,
I can pick a target and get it there.
My body will find a way when I get my own head out of the way.
I trust more and more that I will make solid contact with the ball,
Just like I did right there,
And will practice again and again in my imagination.
Perfect contact going to an intended target that I imagine.
I give the subconscious what it needs to execute shots effectively.
I practice perfect shots in my mind,
Training my subconscious to reward me with these outcomes more and more as it learns this is what is expected.
I expect solid contact.
I expect to hit the intended target.
I play my game to my abilities and I am getting better and enjoying myself more and more because I realize the power of my subconscious mind and I am in such appreciation of the mind and body connection and to be able to play golf and do so many other things without conscious thought invading those abilities.
I am thinking less and enjoying golf more.
And as you sit now in complete appreciation and gratitude,
Take a moment to swing the club a few more times.
Knowing you have already done your pre-shot routine and visualization,
Just stand over the ball confidently with that gratitude full in your heart and take the club back and then down and through the ball,
Giving your attention and appreciation all to the subconscious mind right now,
Giving it your perfect swing to execute for you without ever having to overthink ever again.
Swing freely.
Swing confidently.
Swing with perfect contact,
Speed,
And accuracy.
This is why you love this game.
It really is fun to realize just how amazing it all is.
Swing a few more times in your imagination as you smile and know that you are capable of producing this sweet sound of contact,
This beautiful vision of the ball landing right where you aimed and the pure enjoyment of playing this game that you love.
And when you are ready and taking all of this with you,
You can begin to come back to the now and taking a deep relaxing breath in and out,
You can now open your eyes.
