As you finish your swing, you feel the thrill of watching the ball land softly near its target. Youʼve just created exactly what you wanted. So why doesnʼt that happen when youʼre on the golf course? Maybe it’s your mental game.
The Mental Game Basics Workshop is a weekend golf workshop where you will exercise and enhance your mental focus, clear vision, emotional balance and your ability to be physically present and relaxed with every shot on the course. In a highly interactive and experiential process, you will build a foundation of effective mental attitudes and develop everyday practices for greater success and enjoyment in playing the game. Using the same mental-strengthening techniques as tour professionals, you will experience your confidence and your game reaching new skill levels. The weekend takes place on and off the golf course. It provides coaching on essential mental game principles and personal attention during on-course play. It is appropriate for players of all skill levels. The only requirement for attendance is to bring your own golf equipment, and be prepared to work hard and have fun! |

The Philosophy of Golf Mastery
The principles of effective living, whether focused on golf or any other endeavor, follow certain consistent guidelines. Here is a sampling of guiding principles that form the foundation our work.

|
The Mental Game Basics Workshop is conducted in English, in a classroom and on the golf course - either a 9-hole or 18-hole course. We will work with your course managers to determine time management and logistics as you secure the space. In a club setting, we recommend using a private event space for non-course activities and meal breaks.
