I’m going to show you something I have been doing for years to hit accurate golf shots. By that I mean the ball goes in the direction I intend. (To hit the ball straight, that is, without curvature, see A Basic Golf Swing<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n

This trick is so easy you won’t think it will work, but it does, if you believe in it.<\/p>\n

All you have to do is imagine a short line going away from the ball in the direction you want to hit the ball (see photo). Do this just before you take the club away.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

(The line you imagine doesn’t have to be red, as in the photo. Something from the taupe family also goes well with green.)<\/p>\n

I’m no expert on how the mind works, but it seems to me that by giving your unconscious mind a last-second order to swing the club through the ball along the line you imagined, that mind takes over to make it happen.<\/p>\n

You aim yourself when you set up to the ball. This is how you aim your swing, which is a different task.<\/p>\n

When I’m swinging, I see that line the entire time–not fixating on it, but continuing to let it guide my swing via the workings of my unconscious mind.<\/p>\n

Believe in it, give yourself up to it. As they say, give up control to get control. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
