Golfing Out of Your Mind

Moving Beyond Swing Mechanics

About

 Golfing Out Of Your Mind (Moving Beyond Swing Mechanics) is a series of nine simple lessons to help the once-a-week golfer discover the natural ability that lies beyond swing mechanics. 

 The protagonist (Jonathan) has played for 16 years and regularly scores in the low nineties. Shunning professional instruction (for fear of getting worse) Jonathan believes that the secret to lower scores is perfecting his swing through dedicated practice.

Our story begins when Jonathan’s weekly game is disrupted by a book signing event at his golf club. Despite Jonathan's insistence that the book is simply another pseudo psychology book written by an armchair golfer, his partners decide to forego their weekly game. Resigned to spending the afternoon on the practice range, Jonathan is not a happy camper and sets out to expose the author as a fraud.

Jonathan confronts the author and subtly accuses him of duping golfers into believing the book will improve their game. To compensate for disrupting Jonathan's regular game, the author offers to tag along and observe while Jonathan plays nine holes. As the game progresses, his initial acrimony softens as the author poses questions which reveal how Jonathan's unconscious beliefs have been creating roadblocks to improvement. 

 Are you trapped in an endless cycle of trying to “fix” your swing? Break the endless cycle of fault-finding and error correction.

This book offers guidelines to help you discover your natural ability. Regardless of physical ability, any golfer can develop the mental tools to play to the best of their ability. If you've ever hit a perfect shot, then you have the ability. All you need is the recipe.

Your best golf is waiting...

"If this has the same effect on your game as it has had on mine it will be the best few £'s you have ever spent.
Great read, great result!"

"My love of golf has often only been exceeded by my frustration at not being able to improve my score. Thank goodness for Dave Johnston's trilogy - 'Just Hit the Damn Ball', 'The Gorilla is Loose' and 'Playing out of Your Mind'. These books didn't just help me improve my game, they also improved my enjoyment of the game. A must-read for any golfer: entertaining, easy-to-read, and effective!"
