Episode notes
Switch Hats for Mindset Shift
- Switch between two mindsets: the engineer for swing work and the artist for playing on course.
- Use a physical symbol like different colored hats to cue the mindset change consciously.
Power of One-Point Attention
- The key is keeping your attention fixed on one point during the 1.2-second golf swing.
- Focused attention allows the body's unconscious genius to sequence the shot effectively.
Use Body or Club as Focus
- Identify a specific focus on your body or the club to maintain attention throughout the swing.
- For example, tracking pressure in your feet or a marked dot on the clubface helps keep attention stable.
