What you might learn
Never considered mental game books and still don't?

Here's an idea of one of the concepts you can pick up.

One of my favourites from Zen Golf is the authors discussion on how to make use of the senses.

I had a really nice round going recently. It was so good I started getting a bit tense. Preparing for the teeshot on hole 13 I felt I was mentally leaving the zone.

What I did then was to simply start making use of all senses.
  • What does my eyes tell me about this place?
  • What are the smells around here?
  • What sounds can I hear?
  • What is the temperature?
  • Is it humid?
  • etc...

In seconds the tense feeling completely left me and the teeball was sent down the middle of the fairway.
