April 9 Grand Lake Golf Report
“Visualization is the most powerful thing we have.” – Nick Faldo
During your next visit to the range, try using the following step by step process to sharpen your visualization abilities.
Step 1 – Pick a Target
Select a target on the range, and then pick a club that is appropriate for that target. You should be going through the club selection process just as you would do on the course – if you hit a 7-iron 150 yards normally, use your 7-iron to aim at the 150 marker.
Step 2 – Visualize the Shot
Prior to hitting a shot, visualize the entire ball flight from start to finish. Are you going to hit a draw, or a fade? How high is the ball going to climb up into the air? What flight path will the ball take through the air? Think about all of these details in advance, and factor them into your visualization
A good way to start thinking about visualization is by watching the tracer” that’s often shown during tour events on TV. In a similar fashion you can “trace” the shot in your mind before even making your swing. The visualization you create can be an imaginary flight path line through the air similar to what the displays.
Step 3 – Let it Fly. Repeat-Repeat-Repeat
Will adding visualization to your golf game suddenly turn your slice into a powerful draw? No, probably not. However, when you visualize each shot that you hit throughout a round, you can improve your consistency by having a very specific plan for your ball flight.
Most amateur golfers simply walk up to the ball and swing away, which is not an effective way to play great golf. Visualization won’t turn you into the next PGA Champion, but it certainly can go a long way toward helping you lower your scores
