The Single Most Important Part of Improvement?
I’ve got something a bit different for you today.
You see, attached is a golf improvement PDF that has almost everything a golfer could do to improve their golf game.
BUT…
There is one B-I-G improvement aspect missing from it. Sadly, if you’re not doing what is missing from this PDF then you’ll never play consistently to your golf potential.
I’m sure you know what is missing, because my subscribers are a sharp bunch. But just to make sure here is what I need you to do…
Open up the attached PDF now. Click here to see it. (If you want to save it, right-click on it and select “Save target as”)
Study it and then leave your comment below and tell me what you think is the ONE B-I-G golf improvement focal point missing from the mind map.
I look forward to reading your answer shortly.
Hopefully it’s the correct one!
Either way, I’ll send you an email later this week that will reveal the answer.
Jack
P.S. I’m very serious about this. Open up the PDF now. It’s only 1 page but the one thing that’s left off will be a revelation for many, I’m sure. Are you one?
Take a look at the PDF then hit the reply button on your email program and let me know what the ONE B-I-G
thing missing from the mind map is and remember…
THE answer will be sent to you later this week so look out for that.

Jack, I am sure this is not the “right” answer, but one thing that I see missing from your model is GRATITUDE. I try to stay in an attitude of gratitude when I am on the course. Grateful for being able to play. Grateful for good weather. Grateful for a good bounce off the cart path or kick out of the trees. Grateful for good friends. Grateful for the nature, beauty and scenery on the courses I play. On and on and on. So grateful that when I hit a bad shot (which I often do with my 18 handicap), I still feel good about where I am and what I am doing, no matter what. Can’t wait to hear what the BIG idea is.

Any beginner that saw that chart would never pick up a club. They would be too intimidated. To me, once I have run through all the things listed, I would want a big eraser to eliminate all that stuff so I could go ahead and swing away.

What could be missing is : on the “Swing” Focus on hitting the ball first other than on a bunker shot.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Practice to the point where all the swing mechanics and timing are managed by the automatic control of the brain. To do this the brain must be clear of internal and external distractions and have the ability to visualize and then execute the shot.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:18 am

You must BELIEVE that you can make the shots and putts you need to make if you’re going to improve and score well. After all, who believes in his abilities more than Tiger. Sure works for him!

June 30th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Great chart. But what about head control – keeping it still with eyes on the ball and quieting it to let muscle memory take over before starting the back swing?
June 30th, 2009 at 11:29 am
The golf course.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Analysis of the shot – reading the lie, determining the scenario (laying up, versus going for the distance, etc, etc) – no point brings up that the current shot needs to be analysed before it can be visualized and planned. Course management is sort of a high level thing covering it, but really, the specifics about the shot don’t really get covered under either.

June 30th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Improving your swing/ball striking or improving your scoring?
If you are trying to improve your scoring, course management is huge.
If you are trying to improve your swing/ball striking – you need a detailed plan – i.e. if you dont know where youre trying to get to, any road will take you there. Simply saying I want to get better doesnt mean anything. Going to the practice range or out to play with only the thought of “getting better” is pointless. You need specific objectives.

Hello
It looks like the one thing missing is that six ounce item between my ears.Lets call it the brain. The brain that tells me to kill the ball to go 300 yards and i miss hit it and it slices out of bounds.
The same brain that scares me about going over water and i miss hit it and goes in the water.
The mind is so powerful. All of the other items are great for the golf game but our brain is very good at screwing all of it up.
Look at Tiger Woods. He wins so much just by using his brain and beating his opponents with the mind. He does better and they hit the ball in the water.
Thanks for the great info
Don
June 30th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Repetitive practice – it develops neuro-muscle memory so you can “do it” without letting the mass of fatty acids between your ears get in the way.

“TRACKING” your perfromance! I don’t mean just your score which is important, but rather you should have a baseline of your performance and then track all the aspects of your golfing experience. This is a very important measuring tool for any golfer from hacker to craker. This will allow you to compare at anytime in the future where you have improved and where you need to consentrate your future efforts. Give yourself a pat on the back where you’ve improved and and where you need further improvement set out your plan to get there.

As Kevin Costner did before he pitched in the movie For The Love Of The Game, “Clear the Mechanism”. Or as stated by Costner ‘s caddy Cheech Marin in Tin Cup. “Alright now, tie your left shoe in a double knot. Right now, Roy, do it. Turn your hat around backwards. Turn your hat around”.
Get your mind off the mechanics, you already know all that stuff; let your muscle memory take over, see the shot, swing the club.

The only thing I see missing is to put your “Brain In Gear”
Most people I see on the Golf Course are playing Knee Jerk Golf, meaning that they are just reacting to the last shot and Never planning ahead. They are mearly reacting to where they are at the moment. Thinking ahead and playing a round with the way you are playing during that round in mind, will allow you to take advantage of your strengths and play away from your weaknesses. If you’ve ever really watched Tiger when he’s grinding out a round, you will understand what I am talking about…

How your backswing?it’s up to you (just look at Jim Furyk), the most important part is your downswing. Make sure you start with your hip (don’t turn) move to your side and bring your weight to your left, then make sure your right elbow almost touch your right side (belly).Then, my friend release the club head, how to release? Twist your right palm so it will over the left (just observe all the tour pro you will see this). THIS IS THE BIG SECRET to all fluid and powerfull tour pro swing. Try it, Enjoy it.

Don’t stand too close to the ball after you hit it.
Just play and don’t think. Too many comments are thinking way too much!!

Practice, play, and stay focused.

It changes as you progress as a golfer. It starts off being the fundamentals, then it moves to refinement, and then onto fitness, onto nutrition, and then onto the mental thing … and that’s the beauty of the game. There is no “Single Most Imprtant Thing” on a long term basis. It changes as you change and develop. It’s dynamic because so many things need to come together.

Clear your mind

inhale and exhale slowly, then hit the ball

Light grip pressure throughout the swing. Keeps the fast-twitch muscles active for maximum speed and release. Also keeps too much muscle tension from building up which hinders good tempo and smooooooth swinging. (I just wish I could follow my own advice, I’d be scratch instead of a 6.)

Jack – the following appear to be missing:
a) Playing to / reading – Course conditions
b) Breathing techiques (breath plays a vital part in calming the mind)
c) Correct / comfortable apparel
July 1st, 2009 at 1:40 am
Equipment – customer fitting – selection of right clubs & grips – these items should fit according to your physical characteristics and not vice-versa.
Secondly, I know, you criticize in your dvds – thinks positive – look at the present shot as it is and once decided the kind of shot you are going to execute it, go ahead and do it. Do not question your decision and believe in it. Regards.

the single most important part of golf imrovement is to find a proper set up posture which can allow to hit the ball with sweet spot of golf club.

Hit the ball
July 1st, 2009 at 2:43 am
The missing part is improving the ” feel and touch ”
Most great players play by feelings and seems to have great touch because that play by feel.
Great touch can be achieved only if you can feel the putt length with subconscious mind as if you are tying a shoe lace.

I have to agree with some of you. A second person has to be around to tell you what you will do wrong despite the accessories. He/she might not be even a coach or trainer.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:30 am
every player should have ability of consistent (commited to your shot), even Tiger Woods should have to.

What is missing is the GAME FLOW. This is the ability to put all elements together with an ingrain flow which gives you the chance to play without worries in your mind and that puts in the ‘zone’.

Proper amount of rest/sleep the night before playing oo practicing golf is one thing I see missing from the chart to reach one’s full potential.

July 1st, 2009 at 10:51 am
Perfect and deliberate practice makes perfect and
The RULE of 10,000 are missing.
Practice does not make perfect, but
practice makes permanent (good and bad).
If you were to consider all components of the right side
of the diagram – (Physical) and practice them to the
tune of 10,000 “ball strikes”, you would be well on the way
to learning how to build/ find confidence, to breaking 80.
When you gain confidence in the execution of
the Set up, Swing, Short game and putting through the
deliberate practice your Mental side will improve as well.
Self-Doubt and Fear are the product of Anxiety, but once you
have confidence in your ability, good Self –Talk and Positive
Attitude will take over.
Tiger had reached 10,000”HOURS” of practice by
the time he was 18 years of age.

This seems to cover everything my only comment would be fluid listed under health I would put that under equipment to me this is vital and I notice many of my playing partners do not carry a drink with them relying on course taps etc is unreliable .Keep up the good work.

The cynic in me says that you will accept the most common answer – free marketing!
However, The non-cynic in me (more than 50%) says that the missing element is “being alive” because without that you cannat do any of the other parts.
