Mental Golf

I played golf at a high level and experienced a lot in terms of excitement and performance in sports. As a Coach/Counselor I want to use my expertise to help you with the mental part of the golf game In the Netherlands I played competition on the highest level and in 2005 I got my Professional Golf Teacher (EGTF) certificate. 

come back after an illness, an injury or a long break

Some golfers are very nervous to get back on the golf course, few are exited and expect their game still to be exactly as it was before. The majority of golfers have lost their confidence and their skills. They spend days and days on the practice ground. chipping and putting and hours on the Driving Range without any improvement. 

What they often forget is that they have changed mentally and physically and need a different approach.

My approach

mental-golf-algarveMy approach is based on science and quantum physics.

Our brain and body are inextricably linked. When you have been playing golf for a while your brain has stored your movements and so have your muscles through muscle memory. But after an illness, injury or operation you are not the same person anymore. You need to rewire your brain and your muscles need new memories.

This is wonderful news because you can start from scratch and start educating your brain and muscles exactly the way that is good for your body.  You can now do a reset based on who you are today and I am happy to help you with this. 

some cures and fixes

the yips

The putting yips are a sudden, involuntary muscle spasm, tremor, or jerk in the hands or arms during a putting stroke. It is a form of performance anxiety that causes golfers to struggle with short putts, leading to extreme frustration and a loss of confidence. They are unable to control their stroke and the more worried they are the worse it becomes. Let’s look at this together.

The shank

A shank in golf is a mishit that occurs when the golf ball is struck by the hosel—the part of the club where the shaft connects to the club head rather than the club face. This typically results in a low, sharp, and uncontrollable shot that shoots off to the right or left depending on the player is right- or left-handed. Often missing their target completely.

Lost your swing - No confidence - No focus?

mental-golf-algarveSome golfers have completely lost their golf swing for various reasons.

There are players that pay so much attention to their opponents that they are no longer focussed on their own game.

Many golfers experience problems when they have to perform under pressure. With others it seems that they cannot perform under pressure, but it is due to something completely different. Maybe something going on at home or at work or doubt about their clubs that makes them lose their confidence.  

Fun playing golf again!

It is actually not so important whether it is your lack of focus, pressure, confidence in yourself or your clubs or you just can’t move the way you used to. It is important that you acknowledge the problem so we can deal with it and have fun playing golf again!
