NLP COMES TO PLAYGOLF MANCHESTER 

By Adrian Rogers, Playgolf Manchester

Tel: +44 (0)161 749 7000 | Email: info@manchestergolf.co.uk

The Playgolf Academy instructors, at Playgolf Manchester, are undertaking NLP training.

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is an interpersonal communication model and an alternative approach to psychotherapy, based on the subjective study of language, communication and personal change. It is widely used these days in many different management training, teaching, executive coaching and motivational circumstances.

NLP and golf are a natural fit.

They form the proverbial hand in glove relationship. NLP is based on modelling, so what better than to model the best golfers in the world and use their mental game strategies to improve your game?

If there’s a process that assists you in playing to your full potential, then it’s in this program.

Golf, at its heart, is truly one of the most mentally demanding games on the planet. NLP and golf is all about experiencing personal excellence through the application of mental strategies. A perfect marriage.

One of the main challenges with golf is that you spend a disproportionate amount of time “thinking” about the game rather than actually playing it.

In an average 4 and 1/2 hour round you “play” golf for about a total of 30 or so minutes. This includes your pre-shot routine time and the actual swing. So over 4 hours is spent thinking, analyzing, criticizing, worrying, focusing, and on and on.

NLP in golf is about managing your mind

Every Golfer’s Guide to the Development and Mastery of their Inner Game is based on NLP processes, whole brain learning applications, and advanced mental imagery.

Applying NLP in your golf game frees your mental grip on things and allows you to stay in the moment and play the game.

Accessing your optimal performance states is the key to playing the best you can play, regardless of your handicap.  There seems to be so much time for us to unravel and get distracted over the course of a round. So what do we do to improve our game knowing this reality?

It all comes down to states.

If you are serious about improving your scores and increasing your satisfaction then you must learn how to step into your most resourceful and effective states possible. And then anchor these states to various triggers so you can play the game from a state of flow.

NLP directly improves the experience of “flow” in Golf

We can demonstrate how flow is experienced when we find the balance between the inherent struggle to meet a challenge and our present ability to master that challenge.

We wouldn’t play golf at all if we didn’t have the belief that we can hit the ball and make it go a certain distance. Yet the challenge of making this a reality is what keeps us addicted. We are forever in search of “flow”.

The discrepancy that exists between the pursuit of mastery and its attainment is what gives us our experience of flow. Yet the demands of the game are vast and our ability to meet these challenges is often inadequate, which causes frustration and dissatisfaction. The antithesis of flow.

To experience that wonderful state of flow AND play the very best golf you are capable of requires a new relationship to the game. There is no greater combination of mental game knowledge as potent as nlp and golf. It allows you to naturally enter your peak states and make this process completely automatic.

In this way flow will not only be far more achievable, it will be inevitable. How good will that be?

THE PRE-SHOT ROUTINE

by James Hopkins PGA, Playgolf Academy

Tel: +44 (0)161 749 7000 | Email: info@manchestergolf.co.uk

What is a pre shot routine?

Very simply it is a set series of movements and thoughts that a golfer performs identically before every single shot.

Why do you need a pre shot routine?

A pre shot routine is important for 2 reasons.

1. To give the golfer the highest percentage of success for each shot. A pre shot routine focuses the golfer mentally and physically on the shot at hand. Once the routine has started whatever happened previously disappears, any thoughts about the surroundings disappear and concentration towards the task ahead is heightened.
2. To aim the golfer in the right direction. Imagine training a marksman to shoot a rifle perfectly but not actually showing them how to point the gun at the bulls eye. A perfect golf swing can be trained but if the golfer then on the golf course is not pointing themselves at the target, the brain will not let the golfer swing perfectly. It will try to adapt the swing to strike the ball at the target thus generally promoting a poor shot.

What is a good pre shot routine?

A good pre shot routine consists of three phases:

1. The instructions
2. Aim
3. Pulling the trigger

1. The instructions

Before any shot is hit on the course it needs to be rehearsed. A golfers practice swings are the blueprint for what the golfer wants to happen upon hitting the shot. Two practice swings are ideal. Both should be performed directly behind the ball so that the golfer can swing and imagine watching the ball fly out right down the line toward the target.

The visualisation of the shot should not be taken lightly. Be as vivid as possible and imagine the ball fly through the air into the hole. Why? This action provides the exact set of instructions that the brain needs to hit the shot into the hole!! If it cannot be imagined the chances of it happening are less. If all the golfer can see is water or trees then that is where the ball will end up!

2. Aim

PICK A LINE! Following the practice swings the golfer needs to aim in the right direction and should stand behind the ball.

 Then, trace an imaginary straight line on the floor between the target and the ball.

    
Be very precise about the target, pick out something very small. If it is the flagstick fine, but for a tee shot pick out a tree in the distance or a stripe of cut grass in the fairway. Narrowing the focus like this means that the ball will end up closer to the target if the target is missed. For example: aim generally at a fairway or green and miss and the ball is in the trees. Aim at a divot in the middle of the fairway and miss and the ball ends up in the semi rough.

PICK A SPOT! On this imaginary line pick a spot but no more than 12 inches from the ball.

Any farther away when looking at the ball the spot will be outside the field of vision therefore there will be no idea whether the clubface is aiming at it!

AIM THE BODY! Then forget about the target, step up to the ball and imagine another line connecting the ball with the spot on the floor. Now the feet should be aligned parallel to this line.

If done successfully the feet, knees, hips and shoulders will be aligned anywhere between 5 and 10 yards to the left of the target for right handed golfers and to the right of the target for left handed golfers.

Why not aim the body straight at the target? Because the club never swings on a straight line. The golfer is stood still therefore the clubhead, if swung correctly, will travel on a circular path around the body so when the club reaches the ball it will be travelling on a line parallel to the feet. Imagine a railway track. One rail travels through the ball straight to the target, while the feet stand on the other rail which travels parallel to the side of the target.

3. Pulling the trigger

Once lined up things should happen fairly quickly. If the golfer stands over the ball for too long thoughts about technique or worries about where the ball might go will start to occur. When comfortable the golfer should take one long look right at the target, imagine the ball disappearing into the hole or bouncing down the fairway, look back at the ball and let it go.

Pull the trigger and trust your swing.

Remember none of the pre shot routine will guarantee a good shot however, on the course all we can do is give ourselves the best possible chance of hitting that good shot. The execution comes down to how good the swing is and if great shots are not happening then the swing needs a little more work back at the range or in the lessons.

I hope that this lesson will help your pre-shot routine become ingrained - your golf will benefit.

PRACTICE - THE KEY TO LEARNING

by James Hopkins PGA, Playgolf Academy

Tel: +44 (0)161 749 7000 | Email: info@manchestergolf.co.uk

The Theory

When a pupil leaves the teaching academy, the real test begins.

Ultimately improving the golf swing should be fairly easy. Essentially the golf swing is just a serious of learned movements in the same way as any movement – walking, running, writing etc. To use the example of handwriting; to write with the ‘other’ hand would not be very successful immediately, however following a little practice and by copying the correct letter shapes the success of your writing would improve very quickly.

This is no different in the golf swing. The only difference is that there are many movements involved here and that they take place in a very short space of time!

To improve quickly then practice must be good quality. If a golfer is trying to perform a specific movement, especially one never performed before, then it must be done correctly. If the right movement is never practiced it will never happen so at some point the movement must be made.

Unfortunately all too often in a supervised practice session or when meeting clients in the middle of a practice session, correct actions are not being performed even when the golfer thinks they are. This is because feedback is missing when practicing alone. The golfer cannot see themselves swinging and there is no-one to tell them whether the swing is correct or not. Therefore the golfer’s perception of what is happening is often very different to what is actually happening.

The point of good practice is that the golfer must know whether the particular, movement or action is occurring or not. There is absolutely no use in assuming or hoping that it is, it needs to be known otherwise the original swing is being repeated and therefore is becoming more ingrained and even harder to change.

It is of course the responsibility of the coach through lessons to make sure of 3 things:

1. That the pupil understands what needs to happen in the pupils golf swing.
2. That the pupil understands why this change is needed. (Needless to say any change is uncomfortable. If the swing feels uncomfortable then mishits will happen so if  the pupil doesn’t understand why the change should be made then the pupil will quickly stop practicing that movement.)
3. That the pupil understands and can perform any drills or checkpoints that to help make the movement be performed correctly.

(above) Great practice… repeat your swing in a mirror!

Things To Remember When Practicing

Any new movement needs to be performed at least half the time in practice. There has to be a majority of the new movement to override the old.

Also note that early in the learning of a new movement it is never going to happen on the golf course. If the swing feels uncomfortable in practice when there are no consequences to a poor result, when there is one shot at a target with hazards in mind, the golfer will always go back to what action he trusts the most.

The best possible practice is to make a movement correctly and make contact with the ball. The contact doesn’t need to be good, any contact is fine. The brain then registers that movement sequence much more quickly and starts to adjust. As the sequence is performed more the brain begins to work out how to get the club back to the ball and contact improves. Such practice could be to stop mid swing and check a position then carry on and hit the ball.

Second best practice is to swing in front of a mirror (see pic above). This practice has benefits; the golfer does not need to leave home,  also the golfer can tell without doubt whether movements are being performing correctly or not.

I hope that this lesson will help you to practice more efficiently.

DRIVE SAFELY

by James Hopkins PGA, Playgolf Academy

Tel: +44 (0)161 749 7000 | Email: info@manchestergolf.co.uk

For a successful drive or fairway wood shot we need to sweep the club through the ball to pick the ball off the tee/turf and propel it forwards through the air as far as possible. The most common error in these shots is to try to hit it too hard, sling the club over the shoulder and slam the wood across the ball and down into the ground. Instead think of throwing a ball. You would lean back to gain power and then with a build up of acceleration, throw the body forwards to promote as much speed as possible. It is no different in the golf swing.

To achieve this we need to look at three areas.

1. The set up

The most important part of a wood shot. Here we need a stable base to swing around therefore the feet should be wider than a normal iron shot. The inside of the heels should be shoulder width apart.

To then set us for a sweeping action through the ball we need two points to be correct.

The ball it needs to be positioned forward, in line with the inside heel of the front foot for the driver and approx 1 inch inside the front foot for a fairway wood. Also the weight needs to be distributed between the feet 50-50 or even 60-40 in favour of the back foot with the driver.

Try not to be frightened of feeling behind the ball with any wood shot, remember we are setting up to move away from the ball to then drive through it not to slam down into the ball.

2. The Load

From the set up we now need to turn the upper body backwards against the lower body. If the legs stay relatively still then a turn backwards around the spine will move the head sideways to the point where the chin and left shoulder are directly over the inside of the back heel. The back will also face the target in this position.

It should feel like you are a long way from the ball at this point, this is correct as now you can turn and drive the clubhead through the ball picking the ball off the turf  with a fairway wood or off the tee with a driver.

3. The Drive

If you have performed the first two parts correctly then this should be the easy bit! The key here is a nice easy tempo and not slashing down at the ball with the arms. The actual hit should be a turn through the ball rather than a hit at it. The front foot needs to stay still so that we can drive forwards off the back foot through the ball and stand tall and balanced after the hit.

Remember the driver and fairway woods are the longest, largest and lightest clubs in the bag. They are designed to go a long way they don’t need you to swing them hard, just a little better!

- - - - - - - - - - - - 

I hope that this lesson will help you feel more confident on the tee, and to hit longer, straighter drives.

PUTT FOR DOUGH: Part Three

by Pete Styles PGA, Playgolf Academy

Tel: +44 (0)161 749 7000 | Email: info@manchestergolf.co.uk

30 putts to perfection. 

This is my favourite drill and with patience can revolutionise the way you approach short putts, and of course bring your scores down.

Find a hole that sits on a flattish, spacious part of the practice green.  Place four tee pegs on the green one metre away from the hole (putter length plus 10cm) on the 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions.  Now take one ball and move around the tees taking ten putts, counting how many you make. After 10 putts, move all of the tees back to the two metre position and repeat the exercise with another 10 putts.  Then move the tees back again to the three metre position and repeat one last time. All told, you should have taken 30 putts - 10 from each distance.  Count the total number of putts you have made. If you made less then 20 putts, force yourself to stay and practice some more. If you can consistently score above twenty you should feel super confident as you move out onto the course.

Don’t practice missing.

Most of you will appreciate that spending a few minutes, pre-round, on the putting green is considered as good preparation. However, I rarely see club golfers use this time efficiently and often feel that they do more harm than good.

An example of this, which I see at nearly every pro-am, is a golfer who takes three or four old balls from the bottom of their bag, throws them down about 15 feet away on a tricky down hill left to right line, casually steps up, and misses them all.  They try again to another hole further away and miss them as well.  They then go out to play with their confidence shattered, and continue to miss putts for the rest of the day.

Next time you catch yourself doing this - Stop. Take one ball, preferably the same type as you will play with as this helps with feel. Your first goal is to establish a feel for the pace of the greens. To do this, stand in the middle of the green and try to stroke the ball as close the edge of the green as possible without it leaving the green.  Try this drill on the flat, then up hill and down hill. You should always aim to stop the ball within one putters length of the fringe. Once you have established a good feel for the pace of the greens, take the ball and place it about two feet away from the hole. Now knock the ball confidently into the middle of the hole five times, each time going through your routine and listening for that most satisfying of noises.

Once completed, stride purposefully onto the first tee and continue putting with confidence!

I hope that this series of lessons will help your putting.

PUTT FOR DOUGH: Part Two

by Pete Styles PGA, Playgolf Academy

Tel: +44 (0)161 749 7000 | Email: info@manchestergolf.co.uk

Stick to a winning routine.

As with your tee shots, I would always recommend that you develop and stick to a very disciplined routine when you are putting. Firstly I read the putt carefully from both ends and from the side, then having decided on a line, I work on pace by making three practice strokes while looking directly at the hole. Once I settle over the putt just one more look confirms I’m ready to pull the trigger and start a nice smooth stroke.

Get a good read.

Reading the green is such a fundamental part of putting but is often overlooked by club golfers. How often have you thought you’ve hit a great putt just to see it turn away from the hole at the last minute?  To hole more putts you must start the ball on the right line. Try to read the line from both ends, from behind the ball and from behind the hole. If you still struggle to see the line, try to imagine that a bath full of water being tipped over on the green and picture which way the water would flow.

Now make sure you roll the putt on the PRO side.  Many club golfers miss putts on the low side of the hole, and your ball will very rarely fall into the hole from the low side. Try to get the ball to fall in the top side of the hole also known as the PRO side. 

Perfect pace.

I will make a wager with you: You will never three putt if you roll the ball at the right pace.

We all try to avoid the golfer’s curse - the three putt. By looking closely at what causes your three putts, you will normally identify that the pace of the first putt is the major factor. You will very rarely miss the hole by 3 feet to the left or right but often see the ball fall short or slide past by at least that distance.  A perfect putt should finish 18 inches past the hole, as this gives the ball a chance to go in but also means you should never miss the next putt. Next time you play, focus on a spot 18 inches past the hole and try to roll the ball onto that spot. You could be surprised by how your scores reduce.

The ‘Eyes Closed’ drill.

Having previously discussed how important distance control is when putting, this drill should help develop great feel. Standing in the middle of the practice green, line up five balls.  Now without aiming at any specific object, close your eyes and putt the ball about 20 feet.  Without looking where the ball goes, set up to the next ball, again with your eyes closed, and repeat until you have rolled all five balls.

Now open your eyes and check the results.

The aim here is to get all five balls to group together as close as possible. Five balls within one putters length is a good target. 
 

On line is the best line.

A good putting stroke is one that allows the putter to swing straight back and forwards, always keeping the head aimed directly at the hole. To check if this is your stroke, take the flag out of the hole and lay it down.  Now make practice strokes so that the putter head runs over the top of the flag trying to keep the alignment line on your putter head directly over the flag.

Set your targets small.

Club golfers often suffer a crisis of confidence over those tricky 4 footers. I often see people trying to coax the ball into the hole.  This results in a weak, non-committed stroke that sees the ball wander off line. On short putts, try to narrow your focus by aiming at a single pinpoint, preferably at the back of the hole, then roll the ball confidently at this point. By sharpening your focus you may miss the pinpoint but should always hit the hole.

PUTT FOR DOUGH: Part One

by Pete Styles PGA, Playgolf Academy

Tel: +44 (0)161 749 7000 | Email: info@manchestergolf.co.uk

As golfers I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase “drive for show, putt for dough”.  If you haven’t, absorb that phrase and make it your on-course mantra.  We’re always told how important putting can be, but how many people really know how good, or more than likely how bad, their putting really is.  Ever heard of Mattias Eliasson? No me neither until I researched this.  Mattias currently holds the rather dubious position of being the worst putter on the European Tour.  Any idea how many putts he takes on average?  32.1 putts per round - now that’s not bad to say that he is the worst. The best putter, by the way, is Padraig Harrington with 27.7 putts per round. Next time you play, mark the number of putts per hole in a spare column on your score card and total them up - any more than 36…. shame on you, more than 40…. buy a tent, set up camp next to the putting green and don’t leave till you’ve worn it out.

Set up to Hole out.

A good putting set up is different to that of a full swing.  Try to alter your normal set up slightly by placing your feet hip width apart.

Playing the ball just ahead of the centre of your stance.

Also try standing closer to the ball so that the putter head sits flat to the ground.

You should now feel that you are standing closer to the ball so that the eye nearest the hole now lines up directly over the ball. To check this position, set up to a ball as normal with another ball in your pocket. Without moving your body, take the ball out of your pocket and hold it up to your eye nearest to the hole, now drop the ball straight down and it should hit directly on top of the ball you have addressed. If it misses the ball on the ground make the relevant adjustments and try again.

Experiment with your grip.

We all know how important the correct grip is during the full swing, however, there is a much a greater variety of grips that can be used during putting. The best way is to experiment with a few and settle on one that suits you.
The index finger of the bottom hand points straight towards the ball - this provides more feel and helps with distance control.

This time place both index fingers pointing at the ball - this will help to stop the wrists from breaking down and hinging.

Now try this one!! I’ve putted like this for over 12 years and swear by it. This may take some getting used to but provides a very solid stroke and great shoulder alignment. Swap your hands over so that your front hand is now the lower hand, keep the front wrist solid and push through the ball with the back hand.

You might need to persevere with this grip but trust me it’s worth the effort.

Networking - and golf - for Manchester’s business professionals 

See this article on Crain’s Manchester Business website HERE.

Tel: +44 (0)161 749 7000 | Email: info@manchestergolf.co.uk

Andrew Thorpe, a golf professional at the Playgolf Academy at Playgolf Manchester, has a twist on traditional networking events.

Thorpe’s new networking concept - is helping to bring Manchester area business people together and to build better working relationships.

His ‘Learner Drivers Club’ is geared toward business professionals who don’t know how to play golf, but who want to learn

And he throws in business networking as part of the monthly instructional events.

“It brings together people from different companies who’ve not met before,” Thorpe said. “This is for people who don’t play golf but who feel they ought to learn.”

Thorpe started the club, which is owned by his firm Business in Golf, last autumn. He said the club currently has 75 members from 32 companies, about half of whom are women.

“My hope is to have 400 members by the end of the year who all share a desire to learn and improve,” he said.

Thorpe, who is a golf pro at the Playgolf Centre near Trafford Park, and two other instructors teach golf basics to the club members.

Mix and mingle

The networking aspect comes in during mix and mingle time before and after the instruction. Club members are also paired with people they’ve not been with before during instruction.

Currently the members are learning at the indoor facilities at the Playgolf Centre. In the spring and summer, they’ll move out onto par-3 courses, Thorpe said.

The events last 2½ hours. Members pay a subscription of £60 and event fees of £15. Golf equipment is provided.

“The hope is to replicate this in other cities. This is a nice model to replicate.”

“Networking there is excellent,” says club member Stuart Mather, associate director of Manchester-based Bridge Insurance Brokers. “You can’t help but to get to know people there. You are all starting off in the same boat.”

Mather said he’s impressed by the large number of members in their 20s. “To see them all chatting away is fantastic.”

While he’s there for the golf, he says the networking is paying off for him.

“I’ve made good contacts through Learner Drivers,” Mather said.

Golf helps to build relationships and create a networking experience at the Learner Drivers Club, but the real test will be whether the participants derive a business benefit as well.

Simon Wharton still remembers the first networking event he went to in Manchester seven years ago. The managing director of VirtuAffinity Ltd and PushON Ltd admits he was nervous about “networking”, but he also says he was “quite excited” to be among his peers.

“It was an instantly supportive kind of network,” he said. Now he’s a fan of networking, attending three or four networking events a month.

“We get a large amount of brand recognition (as a result of networking) we wouldn’t have had otherwise,” he said. “Most of our business comes through personal referral, which is strange for an online marketing agency.”

PushON does online marketing and VirtuAffinity designs websites.

“Having moved on to proper business networking, I’ve found the most successful are the ones who try to share knowledge and offer solutions,” Wharton said.

And networking guru Mark Greenwood agrees.

“Networking is about relationships, not selling to somebody. Once you’ve got a relationship built upon trust, that’s all you need to do business with each other,” says Greenwood, owner of Networking4Business, a company that puts on three to four networking events a month in Manchester.

There are four key benefits from good networking, according to Greenwood:

1. Learning from others’ mistakes rather than making them yourself.
2. Tapping into other people’s knowledge to help your business.
3. Sharing experiences and ideas to benefit your business.
4. Swapping skills to assist your business and other businesses. Networking in a structured format for Greater Manchester businesspeople has only been around for about 10 years, he said, although informal networking, such as who you know from the pub, has always been around.

“Networking became a buzzword about three or four years ago,” he said. “Everybody networks in their day-to-day life. For everybody in business, networking can be appropriate. It is about finding the right networking group.”

The two biggest fears people have, he says, are the fear of walking into the room and who to talk to.

“Nerves at networking are natural. So if you’ve got nerves, don’t worry about it, it’s natural.”
