Target Oriented Golf will help you play your best golf, independent of and in addition to any instruction method you are using to develop technical skills. You need good technical instruction but the physical golf action happens in just 1.5 seconds, just like throwing a ball, yet golfers uniquely spend their golfing lives being taught and practicing how to CONTROL their body during this brief moment in time, just witness the multitude of training aids! This routine behaviour in your golfing life actually inhibits your performance, which is why you struggle to play golf consistently regardless of how much you practice on the range. You need to also be taught how to stop controlling your physical actions and trust them. Let me explain why this is so important to your success in a sample chapter:

What are you LOOKING at when you throw a ball at a target? The target. Where is your ATTENTIONAL focus? You may not know what this is right now but it's the same place. The target. You are now in the performance zone. No inner voice. It is easy. Any control of your actions required? None. Zero. By attending to the target, you trust your actions. You have no choice but to do so. Would you ever suggest anything other than the target should be the focus of your attention? Your grip? Arm position? The ball? Your takeaway? Of course not. That would be utter nonsense wouldn't it? Let's call that exercise Target Oriented Throwing. Playing golf is no different to this simple exercise except your eyes return to the ball whilst your attention focus must stay on target. Eye on the ball, mind on the target. Clearly you must develop good technique but in that process you lose sight of the target and in turn, the game. The target does not suddenly become LESS significant or anxiety inducing when you look away from it, it becomes MORE significant for now you have to learn how to use a specific brain function rather than your eyes to still see the target, your attentional focus system!

"Anyone can do this and it works!" - Stephen Ellis, Melbourne.

This is the art of golf and at the heart of playing Target Oriented Golf. Academia is funded heavily to research this subject matter for golf and sport but they will never produce an applied, golf training program like this due to their research method limitations. When you understand the detail you will discover that what your eyes are looking at during the moment of execution is irrelevant, what you are attending to holds the key to golf performance. It's the difference between looking and seeing, hearing and listening. Many look at their targets, few actually see them. Your attention will rarely be on target today due to the way you are taught and practice your golf, hence your inconsistency. These mental skills I teach are applicable to any sport where you have the opportunity to think before you act from goal kickers in rugby, penalty takers in football and tennis players serving a ball. What they are looking at and attending too are very different things. Under pressure, a poor mental process let's them down just like you.

"Your inner voice is the heartbeat of consciousness, ignore it at your peril!" - Colin Cromack, Gold Coast.

Mastering these skills takes time. Your current erroneous thoughts during your pre-shot routines elevate arousal and deny you access to mentally attend to the target. This time before you execute has to be mentally controlled, not your swing. I imagine your practice swing is wonderful, so what changes with your real swing? Your attentional focus. As explained what you think about is where your attention goes (often the ball quickly follows if it's the water!). Target Oriented Golf will explain why, where and how to guide your attention focus moment by moment throughout your entire pre-shot routines to stay relaxed, focused and target oriented. Some academics promote the use of inner voice mantra's to occupy your conscious mind in a vain attempt to block anxiety prior to executing a swing. This is akin to putting your fingers in your ears as a child and screaming "I can't hear you!". This 'instruction' is fundamentally flawed in many ways but highlights your challenge in finding serious, practical golf coaching for your mind on the range. The plethora of hypnosis CD's available attempting to bypass your conscious mind whilst you relax in your armchair only serve to emphasise the problem. If you still think something other than the target should occupy your mind as you swing or putt, think about why the next time you are entrenched in technical, analysis paralysis and performing the same way you always have done.

"This DVD transforms your golf without changing your swing" - Raymond Park, Scotland.

Make the shift to Target Oriented Golf. It will be the best investment you make in your entire golfing life, IF you can take the time to talk with me after watching and then do the work required. The alternative is more frustrating, inconsistent golf and I would not wish that on anyone. This is my unique theory, developed for you and I hope you take the time to experience real golf in your life. Why do I care about how much frustration you experience in the games you want to play? I experienced the same instruction methods myself and wanted answers. I discovered them and spent 15 years creating this work independent of institutions. I now know you will never play golf consistently until you develop attention focus skills. IT is golf. It so clearly seperates Tiger from the rest, yet most still analyse his technique. You've learned how to swing efficiently if you are reading this, it's now time to learn how to play. There is a real mental difference and you experience it every time you hit the course!
