Showing results for "Body and Mind" in Golf

When body and mind are synchronized for a golf swing, they are unified in purpose, presence, and focus. They are functioning in the same place at the same time. Can you send your body into the past or the future? Of course not. Our body is in the present and only in the present. Can you send your mind into the past or the future? Of course you can.

Frustrated with your golf game? Tried changing your swing and it didn’t help? Do you have a handicap that stays still at best and never goes down? Major winner Jackie Burke explains why it is an indisputable fact that if you play your natural golf game then it will be easier to improve quickly and achieve better scores more consistently. Importantly, you do not have to change the swing that you are comfortable with and invest in lessons which may or may not work.

There is a very clear correspondence between our state of mind and how our body manifests. When our mind has anxiety or fear, our body feels tight and agitated. When we are discouraged or depressed, our body feels heavy and sluggish. When we are confident and at ease, our body feels energetic and responsive. Our mental state affects our posture, how our body looks as we stand or walk.
