In this video I’ll show you how to dramatically improve your consistency off the tee and with every club in your bag. The secret is to turn golf from a “static” sport into a “reaction” sport.

Here’s why.

With open-skill sports like baseball, basketball, and football you have to react instantly to the situation. There’s no time to consciously “think” about what you need to do. You just do it.

When you react like that – automatically and instinctively – you produce your most fluid, graceful, and athletic movements.

That’s because the parts of the brain that control automatic and instinctive movement – located in the motor cortex and cerebellum – are directly linked to your spinal column. They operate many thousands of times faster than the thinking part of your brain (the neo-cortex).

One of the challenges with a closed-sport skill (where there is a beginning and end to the movement) like golf is that we start in a stationary, static position. We have way too much time to think before the swing actually gets under way.

Bad things happen when the Thinking part of the brain tries to control movement.

But how do we turn golf into a “reaction” sport?

The real secret is “target lock.” Watch the video to see what I mean.

TAKE AWAYS

1. Reduce the amount of time you spend over the ball before you swing to keep the thinking brain out of the swing.
2. Once you have “target lock” you should be swinging.
3. Allow your Athletic Mind to execute the swing without interference.
