Stop Beating Yourself Up!
About
Have you ever hit a perfect shot?
Your beliefs are the key to re-creating those shots. Beliefs can amplify your natural ability or create mental roadblocks to improvement.
Stop Beating Yourself Up! reveals common misconceptions about practice, the value of lessons and the paradigm of traditional instruction. Do you take lessons every year but only see marginal improvement? Ever wonder why your results on the practice range never translate to the golf course?
Based on lessons with over eleven thousand "average" golfers, this non-technical, easy-to-read book is a series of seven conversations between an avid student and an unorthodox instructor.
Chapter Headings Include;
- The Lesson Paradox
- The Real Value of Professional Instruction
- The Practice / Playing Paradox
- The Muscle Memory Myth
- The Delusion Of Consistency
Synopsis
A dedicated, once-a-week golfer seeks help with his game after "spinning his wheels" for years, investing time and money in lessons, instruction videos, and the latest cutting-edge equipment. His knowledge of proper swing mechanics, while impressive, creates an endless loop of fault-finding and error correction.
In desperation, he seeks the advice of a rogue instructor who shuns the paradigm of traditional instruction. The series of seven conversations reveals unconscious beliefs that stymie improvement.
This book is volume three in the series that started with Just Hit The Damn Ball! If you enjoyed The Inner Game of Golf (Timothy Galway) then Stop Beating Yourself Up! will help you take your game to a whole new level!
