This week we have an article from Jennifer Scott, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. This week she gives us some good advice on our swing. If you have any questions for Jennifer, please send them to me. This is a question for Jennifer from a subscriber last week, that Jennifer answered.


I would like to know if Jennifer could cure by hypnosis my very bad habit of picking up in my golf swing just before the club strikes the ball. I know how to swing properly and do so part of the time however most of the time I do not. Also part of the time my weight is still on the back foot after the swing is complete. Thank you Ralph



Dear Ralph

I\'m not qualified to correct your swing mechanics because I\'m not a golf
pro. So I suggest that you see a teaching professional to correct the
physical part of your golf problem -- the mechanics of your swing.

However, you also need to address the other side of your problem -- the
Mental Side. Is your problem caused by Stress? You say you \"know how to
swing properly and do so part of the time.\" Is that \"part\" when you\'re
under pressure?

If this is the case, hypnosis can definitely remove the pre-swing stress
and anxiety component that is causing your problem. With my golf clients,
I do it by replacing confusing, tension-causing pre-swing thoughts with a
calming combination of words and images. The most important, most
powerful pre-swing image you can possibly have is the Image of The Target.


When you look at the target, burn that image into your brain. Now see it
as you look down at the ball. Superimpose it on the ball\'s logo. If you
lose it, look at the target again. This is why golf pros keep looking at
the target and then down at the ball. They\'re fixing it in their mind --
their subconscious mind.

This Target Image has two positive effects: 1) It replaces destructive
swing thoughts, like \"lift the ball,\" and 2) It lets your body do the
perfect swing it knows how to do.

Hope this helps you. My two combo CD set is available on the website, www.thinkandreachpar.com These CD,s will give you the awesome power to improve your game...a power you have never tapped. Discover the secret that some of the world\'s greatest golfers have known.

And now this weeks article from Jennifer Scott.



SWING STUPID.

By Jennifer Scott, Clinical Hypnotherapist

At the pairs competition of the 2002 Winter Olympics, commentator Scott
Hamilton told of a good piece of advice given to ice skaters: \"Skate
Stupid.\" Which means don\'t think about what you have to do to execute


triple Axel. You don\'t have time. Just do it.

But wait. Golfers are told to have \"key\" swing thoughts. Like \"Turn your
shoulders but restrict your hips.\" Or \"Start the downswing with your feet
[knees] [arms],\" etc., etc. What could be wrong with \"key\" swing thoughts?
This: in 1.6 seconds, the average golfer can\'t think about something and
then execute it. Top professionals can, sometimes. But you? Forget about
it. Don\'t think. Swing Stupid.

So how does a golfer not think while swinging? You just replace thinking
with something else. Fuzzy Zoeller whistles. Others chew gum. Through
self-hypnosis, my golf Clients burn in the image of the target, then
retain that image as they address the ball. They \"see\" the ball going to
the target while they\'re looking at the ball they\'re about to hit. So the
connection with the target is never lost. The swing happens naturally. The
ball goes to the target.

That doesn\'t sound so stupid, does it?

Jennifer Scott is a Clinical Hypnotherapist with offices in Scottsdale,
Arizona. She is the
author of \"Own The Zone(tm),\" a 2 CD audio set for golfers available from www.thinkandreachpar.com
