You carry 14 clubs in your bag, and probably several more accumulating dust in your shed or garage. You are capable of hitting high and low shots, draws and fades, hooks and slices, half shots, three quarter shots and full shots. In order to do so, however, it is imperative you have a full range of empowering mental skills at your disposal so as to enable you to execute your chosen shot as and when it is required and in circumstances when it truly matters.
It is all too frequently the case that the way in which one hits shots upon the range is not reflected when out on the course, when it matters. Most people, including teaching and playing professionals alike, agree that 90% of golf is in the mind. You need as many mental skills as you have shots. And this is true of success in every other area of your life as well as in your game of golf.
I am a hypnotherapist and I am also a passionate golfer. This is why I decided to outline a whole set of mental skills for golfers and recorded a mental skills toolkit in the form of hypnosis cds and hypnosis downloads. This was back in 2006. The response was fantastic and I'm pleased to say that many great testimonials popped in via e-mail from golfers all over the world. This is what Paul Eales (European Tour Professional, BBC TV and Setanta TV Golf Reporter) had to say about the GolferWithin golf hypnosis cds:
"It took me many years of heart ache and hours of time hitting thousands and thousands of golf balls before I realized that, without the correct mindset, you can't get anywhere near maximizing your potential. A library full of books on the sporting mind as well as time spent with accredited golf psychologists still didn't quite get me into my ideal sporting performance state. Then I was asked to listen to some CD's produced by Roseanna.
For the first time in my search the impact was not only massive but immediate. The well presented, ordered course covered "stuff" I had heard before. But this time just by listening to Roseanna and following the GolferWithin program, my state changed and allowed me to play without the negative, destructive self-talk that had plagued me from an early age. I would strongly advice any golfer who's serious about improving their game to get involved in Roseanna's CD presentation and see the immediate results. You can't afford not to."
Paul also suggested that it would be fantastic to create a similar set of mental skills hypnosis downloads for life in general, which is exactly what I did. Whether you are a golfer or not, there are many mental skills which you can learn which will make life more comfortable, more enjoyable and more successful. The game of golf simply highlights the effect of your thinking. If you think "don't go in the trees" how often does it go in there? And on those days when you feel much focused and "in the zone" how many putts just seem to roll in without any effort at all? You can learn mental skills which will allow you to focus, to play "in the zone" at will. You can learn mental skills which will allow you to step back and relax, instead of getting tense.
There are many, many mental skills which can all be learned with the help of hypnosis cds or hypnosis downloads. It is amazing what you can do as you learn to harness the power of your own mind. You can retrain your mind to play great golf and also a great game of life.
You really can play the game of your dreams with the help of golf psychology, NLP and hypnosis downloads. Why not give yourself a head start and use your mind to make a difference. The fact is that great golfers know how to play the mental game; they have learned the necessary skills to be successful.

GOLF RULES
From its initial days, golf has been a sport unlike from many others. There is no physical contact in golf, and courtesy and propriety are two of the most crucial essentials of golf. Until the 1940s, golf athlete wore shirts and ties, a scary scenario for the jersey wholesalers who are such a part of many of today’s sports.
Golf is played on a course that generally includes eighteen holes with groups of between two and four persons. The rules of golfing prescribe that athletes can bring with them no more than 14 clubs. Today’s rules also specify what sort of technology is allowed in golf clubs. The golf holes extend in yardage from about one hundred and thirty yards to more than 600 yards. Each hole is given plentiful strokes that equals “par”, or the typical acceptable score on that hole. The number of strokes extends for three to five. The goal of golf is for golf players to shoot the ball from the tee to the green, and then into the hole, in the fewest number of strokes. Many courses have par totals for the round between seventy and 72. A player who beats par on a hole by one stroke has a “birdie”; while scoring two strokes under par on a hole is labeled an “eagle” and is unusual. A player who strikes the tee shot into the hole on a Par three hole records an eagle that is called a “hole-in-one”.
A stroke-play match is won by the athlete with the least number of shots for the 18-holes. Professional golf tournaments usually span over four days. In match play golf, a golf athlete plays heads-up versus his or her rival. The golf athlete who wins the most holes is declared the victor of the match. If no one is winning after eighteen holes, the match goes on until the first athlete wins a hole.
Golf, once named the gentlemen’s sport, maintains much of the flavor of its beginning years. Golf players no longer wear ties, but the outfits are more appropriate and regulations depend on athletes penalizing themselves.

GOLFs HOME IS SCOTLAND!
Though the start of golf is connected with Scotland, historians have deemed ancient descriptions of golf are noted in history as far back as the Roman Empire. Golf also was seen in large numbers of other regions, like the Holland. From its start, golf was a sport with rigid clothing - no jersey wholesalers needed for this increasing sport.
The 1st golf club in the world was founded in Scotland – the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, in 1744. The club prescribed the first regulations of the sport. About 10 years after that, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in St. Andrews turned the official governing organ for the golf. Though there are accounts of golf near this time in the American colonies, the 1st golf club in North America actually formed in Canada in Montreal in 1873. Golf clubs opened later in Unite States and the United States Golf Association was soon founded. The USGA and the Royal and Ancient are now the greatest ruling outfits in the world of golf.
