Golf Affirmations That Will Improve Your Game!

by | Jun 14, 2012 | Affirmations

Golf affirmations help you believe in yourself and your ability…

Here’s a piece I came across that inspired a ‘golf affirmations’ cartoon.(Please excuse me as I have misplaced the site that I got it from – it was a couple of years ago!) For instance, lets say your chip onto the green wasn’t at all what you had hoped for, and instead you have a very difficult long putt to make for par instead. Rather than rueing the bad chip shot which most people do, you instead project forward to the next shot, and mentally repeat some golf affirmations such as “perfect putt, perfect putt, perfect putt…” , over, and over, and over again in your mind while your partner is hitting his shot. So whenever you hit a bad shot or feel a negative pattern developing, interrupt it with a string of positive golf affirmations, repeated over and over again until the negative thought has been vanquished forever. Ensure that you never allow negative thoughts to take a hold of your thinking on the course again The second round the next day I made sure that I was focusing my energy in seeing the golf ball go into the hole. And sure enough, the next day I shot 71. I had 27 putts and missed six other ones. The funny thing about all this is that once I focused my energy on getting the ball in the hole it was amazing how my swing fell into place. Using golf affirmations really helped.golf affirmations, Golf cartoon - my game is Red Hot at the moment! I dealt with bad ball striking by focusing my attention on getting the golf ball in the hole, no matter what. I can do this. My golf affirmations included: I can achieve my goals. I am completely in control of my game. I will create positive energy around me. What a round of golf – and I put it down to positive golf affirmations!

What golf affirmations can you think of if repeated enough would help your game?

Are YOU On The Right Track To Success!?

by | Jun 11, 2012 | Cartoon Motivators

Track To Success - Because once you know what you want and what you want to be, you’ll tend to try and get onto the right track, you’ll start getting into action and heading in the right direction.Many times we simply lose sight of our goals.(Don’t let it happen!) That’s why it’s so important to be clear on yours and to keep them in front of you. Write them down and post them where you will see them-often. Put them on your mirror for when you’re brushing your teeth. Put them on Post-It notes on your computer screen or on a screensaver and even on little business sized cards in your wallet or purse.
I recommend having your top three goals specifically defined, measurable, action-oriented , realistic and timely deadline.
