Sharpening Your Mental Game

Why The Mental Game?

No matter how sophisticated their equipment or their knowledge about the swing, if golfers don’t know how to work with their minds on the course, they encounter the common mental obstacles that keep them from realizing their potential. Performance anxiety, emotional reactions, and distractions interfere with golfers’ abilities. Overcoming such obstacles is the key to breaking through to lower scores. Sharpening your mental game is about settling and centering your body and mind, changing unhelpful habits, freeing yourself from fear and doubt, and activating confidence – what every golfer needs.

We are proud to partner with Dr. Joe Parent, offering you the opportunity to make your golf travel a Zen Golf experience. Sharpen your mental game and enjoy your golf experience more than you ever imagined. As Dr. Joe says, “Golfers think that if only they played better, they’d enjoy the game more.” It’s actually the other way around: if you enjoyed the game more, you’d play better.
