Steve Robinson - Amateur Golfer

A few years ago I had the opportunity of attending one of the `Mental Strategies For Great Golf` seminars. I was a beginner golfer determined to take my game to the next level. Dr. Roby's seminar was very entertaining and insightful. One of the strategies Dr. Roby discussed involved not even bothering to swing the club until I could fully imagine and commit to the idea of hitting an exceptional shot. Nine months after first walking onto a golf course, I hit a good tee shot on a par four hole and only had a short wedge left onto the green. Before I hit the shot, I thought about the idea of fully committing to executing an exceptional shot. I made my mind up that I was going to put this next shot in the hole. I fully committed to this belief, and when I swung the club, the shot landed on the green, took a short hop, and rolled into the cup for an eagle two! I had been playing golf for only nine months and I had eagled a par four! I don't believe this would have happened without learning about the power of proper thinking out on the golf course. Utilizing such mental strategies has tremendously helped my scoring and my understanding of the game!
