A fascinating recent article in the Scotsman asked the question; "Can sports psychology make a champion?".  It examined Darren Clarke's recent Open Championship win at Royal St George's, noting that the 42 year old Ulsterman demonstrated a 'dream-like serenity'.

Wearing a smile throughout, not once did Clarke falter or get in his own way mentally, something attributed to his recent work with a renowned sports psychologist. A sports psychologist is a little different from a swing coach.  Instead of focussing the player on perfecting the physical elements of his or her swing, they hekp the golfer to believe in themselves, to focus the mind, to literally visualise themselves making that winning swing.

OK, so we don't all have access to a sports psychologist, but there are certain techniques we can all learn to adopt to really help us with our game.  This is exactly what Matt Morris, 2 Years Winner of PGA Midland Region Order of Merit told us in a recent interview which you can watch here!

Drawing on the very established science of Neuro Linguistic Programming, Clear Thought Sport's 'Golf Power Hour is a golfing aid that can really help both professional and amateur golfers to achieve that focus, that visualisation and calm that can make the difference between poor performance and the best performance of your life!  Curious?  Well then visit our homepage to listen for yourself!
