The
Key To Lasting Concentration
One
of the toughest things in
golf is to maintain concentration
for the last nine holes. This
is because we all have varying
degrees of mental
stamina, and
the plain fact is that our
tank is often empty by
the time the back nine comes
around. If this happens to
you, basically it means that
your mind is becoming tired
of focusing after
around nine holes, and it
wants a rest.
The
way around this is to use 'switch
on, switch off' concentration.
This means to focus 100% each
time you have reached your
ball ('switching
on'), however whilst in transit between each
shot, you 'switch off' - and
allow your mind to relax
and rejuvenate between
strokes.
Switch
on, and then switch off throughout
your entire round, and you
will find that your concentration
will last longer throughout
each round than before. Basically
what I am saying is to give
your mind a break between strokes,
rather than focusing upon the last
shot or
the next
shot, which
is highly common (especially
the last!).
Your
mind needs to have breaks in
order to maintain its sharpness
and efficiency, and so by consciously not focusing
upon your past or future shots,
it allows it to rejuvenate.
Of course, this is sometimes
easier said than done.
If
you find that you can't get
your mind to dis-engage from
the game, then focus
upon something else - it
doesn't matter what it is,
the weather, the scenery, nature
etc, as long as it is something
relatively relaxing.
Needless
to say, this means that business
or relationship problems would
generally not be
a great idea to think about
on the course! Giving your
mind a rest from focusing upon
the game is very rejuvenating, as
long as you are not focusing
upon something else which requires the
same level of mental energy.
So
try 'switch on, switch off'
concentration - it will help
keep your mind (and body) energised
and sharp, and once you master
this, it will show in your
scores at the end of the round.
"The
Mind controls the body, and the mind is unlimited".
