The Inner Game of Golf

Product Information

The first major learning step of The Inner Game theory is that within every human being, there are two selves rather than one. Self 1 is the conscious ego mind that we as human have invented on top of the real self that we were born with. Self 2 is the human being itself. It embodies all the inherent potential we are born with, including all capacities actualized and not yet actualized. It also embodies our innate ability to learn and to grow any of those inherent capacities. It is the self we all enjoyed as children and the self we most enjoy as adults when we allow ourselves to access it. At other times you may not even be aware of your own negative mantras. You don’t know why you’re “off.” You just know that you are. And this feeling of being “off” can soon become an even stronger negative mantra of its own. the world to think and, while doing so, to increase his tension and doubt, while after success he won’t be able to resist the temptation to analyze how to repeat it.” fully. Still, I found that like most tyrants, Self 1 didn’t like losing control and resisted efforts to minimize his influence.”

The purpose of this article to reveal what you can do to stop negative thoughts that get in the way of your game. Would you like to create a positive, focused state of mind? At the end of this article there will be a link so you can get your own copy of 2 Mind Calming exercises used at the Anxiety Control Center. Although written for golfers the ideas are really for anyone who finds their mind racing with disconcerting thoughts. In this article, we are going to talk about the game that takes place inside your own mind. That means we are going to discuss your mental approach to golf, the attitude you take with you on the course, and the way you think about the game in general. At first, these concepts are going to seem rather abstract, and it won't feel like they have much of a direct connection to your scores. You will learn as we go, however, that the way you think about your game is directly connected to the score you write down at the end of the day. Golf is a complicated game, and there are many factors to consider when thinking about your level of play. Yes, the way you swing the club matters, but so does the way you think while making those swings. And, it is even important to control the way you think between shots. The golfer who possesses a great mental approach and attitude throughout each round is going to start with a major advantage over the player who has never even thought about such topics. I loved the “law of awareness” and the natural learning process. Essentially, “if you want to change something, first you must increase your awareness of it.” The natural learning process is being aware without judgment and letting your body and mind work together to automatically achieve improvement. There is no “do this or don’t do that.” Only few matters. urn:lcp:innergameofgolf00gall_0:epub:2d8ede05-9307-4321-bd00-d3edf84073b9 Extramarc University of Alberta Libraries Foldoutcount 0 Identifier innergameofgolf00gall_0 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t9088xd6h Invoice 11 Isbn 9780679457602 The best golfers realize that there is no one tip or strategy that can prepare them for each challenge. They realize that good golf is achieved through patience and practice of inner and outer game skills. If a shot is poor, the player has a tendency to overanalyze what went wrong. If the shot is good, the player spends a lot of time thinking about how to repeat it. But the best golfer's know how to clear the mind, regardless of external factors.The Inner Game of Performance will change the way many people relate to their work, and perhaps even more important, it offers institutions a way to simultaneously facilitate accelerated performance, learning and satisfaction in the workplace. Becoming a high performing individual and organization is far less demanding than we imagine. But it does ask each of us to honour our own inner intelligence to learn to learn and to allow our own excellence to result spontaneously. From this discovery came Gallwey’s first book, The Inner Game of Tennis, which has sold over two million copies. Other books in the Inner Game series include applications to Golf, Skiing, Music, Work and Stress. I felt a great excitement during certain passages and wanted to rush to the driving range and try for myself. After only one round of golf my game has improved immensely. When first published in 1974, the Inner Game of Tennis was a real revelation. Instead of serving up technique, it concentrated on the fact that, as Gallwey wrote, “Every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game.” The former is played against opponents, and is filled with lots of contradictory advice; the latter is played not against, but within the mind of the player, and its principal obstacles are self-doubt and anxiety.
