Self-Talk Your Way to Golf Improvement Like Geoff Ogilvy

How much do you berate yourself when you play a bad shot at golf? If you’re a typical golfer the answer is pretty badly! In fact, you probably use language that you’d never use in public. It’s a good thing that you save the worst things for expression privately in your head. Just imagine how you would feel if your fourball or foursome partner said the same things to you after you hit a bad shot. You’d be horrified and you’d probably make a mental note never to play with them again.

What’s possibly worse is that many players have similar negative internal dialogue whenever they plan and execute a shot. They recall all the bad shots they’ve ever hit in this situation and focus more on what can go wrong than on what they’re trying to do.

I was surprised to hear Geoff Ogilvy saying that he used to experience negative self talk earlier in his career. In an interview after his recent victory in the World Golf Championship Match Play event, he said that early in his career, he found it almost impossible to suppress any negative feelings he was experiencing. You wouldn’t think that, watching his cool demeanour when playing last week.

After some more research, I found a much older interview where he was talking about how half the Tour talks to themselves badly when they’re out there playing bad. They do it every day and it’s very unconstructive.  When asked what he meant, he said

“Yeah, just call yourself useless and what are you doing out here and all sorts of stuff. And I was hopeless. And I’m still not the best out here, but I’m getting a lot better.”

Clearly Geoff has come a long way since then and I’m sure that golf psychology has had a lot to do with it.

With hypnosis and NLP we can do a lot to channel and manage that negative self-talk. One simple approach from NLP is just to give that negative voice in our head a silly or a sexy accent - it would be hard to take the negative self-talk if it came from Donald Duck or a seductive Marilyn Munro. You make up the voice in your head, so it’s yours to do whatever you want with.

Another alternative would be to give that destructive voice a constructive job to do. That’s one of the things I offer clients with my “Your Own Virtual Caddy” golf hypnosis mp3 programme. Did I mention that it’s free when you sign up for my Golf Hypnotist ezine? Just enter your name and email address in the form on the right hands side of every page of my website.

Steel & Chrome Parade, a Poem, by Peter Menkin

Steel & Chrome Parade
a poem by Peter Menkin

The parade of town & county people

and painted cars with chrome

tailpipes was a glee on old Grant

street--miles long parade.

A testimony to American

history, 55 Chevy Station Wagon

with red back lights

like a jet plane nose.

Sculpted Shelby Cobra,

a coveted car from Hollywood

amidst the rolling thunder

patrolled by local police

in their late model fast pursuit

vehicles, complete with air scoops.

The girls sit close to the guys

on the bench seats, though

a Ford Mustang (worth $20,000)

has buckets--edge thigh to thigh,

hers against the stick shift.

A tuneful race of piston sounds,

clouds of dark exhaust after

sunset to crowds who stand, sit,

call out and gawk at industrial

promises and the freedom that

auto brings. Sex, steel, paint

is a hot combination on a June

evening, for county excitement.

Mating calls to drag and thump,

teenage postures, and adult

moments with some families attuned

to their social position in a

maroon 48 Plymouth coupe. What

now, a festive undertaking

like a community dance in thunder

and success. Glory, excitement!

Summertime summertime stars a

song of parade in car colors

brought out for show and bravado.

A cultural dance on wheels into

the night, and tomorrow, too

on the regular roads and driveways.

This is an endless parade

of favored and polished pets;

even the Chevrolet 409,

will ride around seeking

a Woody Wagon or something sleek.

We have met the 21st Century

and it is still us, again, on parade.

Audio reading of the poem is here, read by the writer, aspiring poet Peter Menkin:

http://www.archive.org/details/ChromeAndSteelParade2000ByPeterMenkin

This poem from 2000 recently posted on the Academy of American Poets writers workshop received few comments, I am sorry to say. But I like the work, and here it is from its almost original version eight years ago when the car parade took place in Novato, California (Marin County), north of San Francisco.

This note to a fellow poet was posted on the writers workshop by me:

I had an idea that not everyone knows about car parades. This one was held in Novato, California (about 45,000), and there people fix up older and even old cars. They are stunning! So many people line the street for this popular event, it is like a town fair.

Novato is in Marin County, north of San Francisco by about 30 or so miles. I believe they hold the parade yearly. That year I did go to the car parade, and I was impressed by it and remembered there is in America such a thing as "car culture." So the poem.

Notes on photograph: The Reverend Richard Helmer, Rector of Church of Our Saviour, Mill Valley, California USA took this snapshot and gave permission to use it on my blog. The blog is mainly spiritual and religious poetry, and though the poem posted today is about Chrome & Steel Parade, I thought Father Richard's snapshot a good choice since it shows flowers and has chrome. Readers of this blog will have noted that most photographs accompanying the poetry shows a flower or flowers.

So here is another flower shot, location of snapshot unknown.

As a P.S., Peter Menkin attends Church of Our Saviour, Mill Valley, California USA, located in Marin County, north of San Francisco. By the way, the man at the piano also illustrating the poem shows The Reverend Richard Helmer at work. The title is "Richard at Piano."
