Golf is a mind game, played with your body.
Get your mind right and let your body swing the golf club. If your mind is not right, well you know what happens then. When you make a poor swing do you always look for answers from your body? Perhaps it was your mind that got in the way. You try to iron out swing problems, not mind problems. This leaves you feeling frustrated because you cannot find the answer to your question.
It is like losing your keys in the basement and looking for them upstairs because the light is better.
My coaching enables you to experience for yourself the reality of the mind and body connection. Not just to understand it in your head, but to really experience it, swinging a golf club. This is the only practical golf psychology coaching available in the UK. This is not about positive thinking or listening to theories. This is practical on the range and course coaching in The Arts of Concentrating Your Mind, Trusting and Letting Go in Competitions and Keeping Calm In Stressful Situations.

Following his recent success in qualifying for the European Seniors Tour, Kevin Spurgeon is convinced a visit to a local sports psychologist has worked wonders. " I had always approached each golf shot with a negative attitude," explained the 49 year old Dudsbury club profesional. " I would look ahead at all the pitfalls, like ' what happens if Imiss the green' even though I was faced with a fairly straightforward chip shot." " And between shots I would be fretting about what could go wrong," added Spurgeon. But after a course of mental sports training with Jon Adler, Spurgeon is a changed man. " Now I'm thinking about holing the chip, rather than just getting the ball onto the green."

Well done Kevin!
Do you find it difficult to really let go and play the way you know you can?
One to one training or a two day golf school can help you to increase your ability to handle competitive play and allow you to play to your potential more often. I have been coaching golfers for the last 7 years from all of the Tours. European, Seniors, Challenge, Euro Pro, EPD, Jamega and others. See my testimonials page.
If you are a professional golfer, or a keen amatuer, and your results are not as good as you would like, wouldn't it make sense to stop looking at your swing and start looking at yourself ?
Do you struggle to perform to your potential in competitions or tournaments? If so, then perhaps you might be interested in learning how to develop these skills.
-
The ability to trust your swing in competitions
-
Keep calm instead of feeling frustrated
-
Drive like you do in practice
- Develop confidence and feel on the putting green
-
Learn to concentrate under pressure
All of these skills can and should be practiced on the driving range, but if you are like most players, you have never been shown how. As a Golf Psychologist / Coach, my job is to help you get back to your best form. It's not magic. Its common sense. Do something different. Get a different result.
Professionals usually come and work with me for a weekend and then we keep in contact by telephone. Sometimes I will attend a tournament.
If you are an Amatuer you can also spend a weekend working with me or you can attend a Golf School.

"All seasoned players know, or at least have felt, that when you are playing your best, you are much the same as in a state of meditation. You are free of tension and chatter. You are concentrating on one thing. It is the ideal condition for good golf." Harvey Penick

"I spend as much time on the mental side of golf as on the practice range." Tom Kite
