Target Oriented Golf in action with Anthony Brown, PGA Australia:"Spot The Difference"
Golf Performance Coaching builds upon technical skills and teaches you how to trust them by moving your attention away from them and onto the mastery of the skills I will teach you. The better your technical skills, the more critical this training becomes and the more you will benefit from this unique coaching program. I acknowledge the importance of technical instruction and this coaching takes you to the next stage of learning so you can learn how to trust it and focus on playing golf in competition. When you become target oriented, you feel the difference in your swing and see the ball travel to where it was intended! Anthony's ATTENTIONAL FOCUS routines (and subsequent physical routines) for both full swing and putting after TOG training are now identical (they WERE very different prior to TOG coaching as seen in the videos).
Full swing process before training - random attentional focus - there is a real difference between looking at and seeing your target. Many look, few see.
Full swing process after training - guided attentional focus (emotionally stable and target focused). Can you see the difference?
Putting process before training - fast and OUTCOME oriented mental routine (head movement at execution impacts putter head path and accuracy).
Putting process after training - target oriented routine (emotionally stable and target oriented results in a still head at execution - the real benefit of attentional focus) Golf performance can only be experienced when you take control of your mind throughout the entire pre&post shot routine and pass control of your physical actions over to your sub-conscious as you swing and putt. If you can swing clubs efficiently, you are ready to learn how to play golf and discover why it is a VERY different state of mind. Click HERE to view an example of a Top Pro, Rod Pampling, talk about his pre-shot routine - notice there is NO explanation of how and where to focus once he steps into the ball, it's like stepping into a black hole and attention variablity here will kill his performance in competition too. This is where TOG can seriously help you play the game.
