“Golf’s Mental Coach” Focus-Confidence-Lower Scores

Golf is a challenging game and many golfers are frustrated with their performance. The most overlooked area that will make the biggest difference is the MENTAL GAME of GOLF. Golfers have struggled to find ways to be consistent through traditional golf instruction or buying the latest state of the art driver. Peak performance in golf is the ability to integrate your mind, body, and swing to shoot lower scores and with an increased enjoyment of the game.

What Rick Sessinghaus, “Golf’s Mental Coach” teaches is a system of improvement that integrates these three factors. The psychology of golf has become more accepted as a way to lower scores, yet so many are still confused about what it is and how to apply it to their game.

• Assessing current goals and challenges for improvement

Here are some of the skills that are learned to reach your goals.

• Being prepared to play your best in competition
• Mastering your swing fundamentals so you can just play golf
• Understanding how your golf fitness will affect your performance
• Taking your range game to the golf course
