What
NLP™ can
benefit you and in your golf improvement?
Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP™) is one of the most prevailing and
powerful technologies today in the field learning,
improvement and achieving peak performance for our
profession and vocational skills.
It changes our attitude and aptitude towards our skill
acquisition. NLP™ can
help you see immediate tangible reward in what we are
doing. Surface
the evidence of our efficiency and effectiveness performance,
including learning golf swing
and game improvement technique.
NLP™ focuses on discovering
HOW people are good at what they do and how they produce
excellent results consistently rather than WHY. For over thirty years NLP™
explorers have studied or ‘modelled’ the thinking
styles, behaviors patterns and communication technique of
exceptional and successful people in business, education,
sales,
sport, therapy and all forms of personal
development. All
successful professionals and sportsmen in any vocation
possess unique quality to achieve their goal in one exempt
as well as master complex skills in a very short time
duration. They all have their special and signature strategies toward their excellence.
A wide range of special technique from NLP™ have been
developed and created from these professional
success skills, strategies, methods, tools and models so others can
skillfully duplicate the 'know-how' of the best in any given
field.
A powerful discipline of
what NLP™ called ‘modeling’ is a key feature that
distinguishes NLP™ from psychology. Many sport psychologists
today studied and applied NLP™ to enhance their vocation
skills.
Who uses NLP™?
Top sports performers like Tiger Woods, Andre Agassi, Greg
Norman and Andrew Flintoff are just a few who uses NLP™
regularly to achieve the outstanding results they do. By using
NLP™, they have stretched and grown into their full potential
with outstanding achievement and their awesome self-belief
inspires others. At some points of their career they did
whatever it takes to become extraordinary
including exploring and applying NLP™ to what they do best.
World leaders and
celebrities who studied and applied NLP™ are Bill Clinton –
formal President of United States, Anthony Robbins – World
number 1 Motivation Coach, Tony Blair - formal Prime Minster
of England. Oprah Winfrey just to name a
few. Many blogs suggest that Barrack Obama – President of
United States uses NLP™ too.
How Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP™)
can help fast learning?
The definition of Neuro-Linguistic
Programming can be split into these 3 words for simplicity:
Neuro
refers to the nervous system through which our experience is
received and processed through five senses namely: Visual,
Auditory, Kinesthetic (tactile touch or emotional feeling),
Olfactory (smell), Gustatory (taste). We take in information
through these 5 senses.
In golf when learning
golf swing technique, you need to listen (auditory) to
and see (visual) the coach giving
you the clear instructions on how to stand, hold the golf club in your
hands
correctly. You can use your eyes visually to see how the
club swings and hit the ball proficiently to produce a
particular ball flight outcomes during demonstration. You may want the coach to teach you the
kinesthetic senses in your body muscles for the golf
swing action. NLP™ technique teaches how to use your most dominant senses for accelerated
learning to register your learnt golf swing knowledge so
that you can evoke them for your practices and plays.

Mastering your the swing technique by auditory,
visual, and kinesthetic senses. |

Linguistic
relates to language and nonverbal communication systems
through which neural representations are coded, ordered and
given meanings. This includes pictures, sounds and feelings
(tactile and emotions), tastes and smells and the words
used in self-talk.
In golf swing technique
application, you learn how to master your golf swing
technique by creating pictures of golf swing components,
develop the tactile sense of hands on the golf club's grip
during golf swing action. You need to develop
kinesthetically the muscles tension on each part of the golf
swing components. Learning the
NLP™ submodalities technique
and Neuro Internal Representations can help to register
and installed each part of the golf swing components
physically and mentally to facilitate repetition of
proficient golf swing action. Your mind and body must also
communicate effectively when making your golf swing action.
What you say to yourself will manifest in your golf swing
action. You cannot not to communicate for your intended golf
swing action. What you need to learn is your ability to utilize
the correct words and mnemonics related to your golf swing
activity to enhance the consistency of your proficient golf
swing. This NLP™ methodology helps to evoke
success to accelerate mastering of golf swing
technique within
your athletic and physical ability.
You will use this NLP™ golf
swing technique acquisition tools that you have cultivated for your
future golf swing application. You can see an immediate
result to your golf swing action successfulness producing
desirable outcomes. You will also be
able recreate your linguistic tools to enhance your golf
swing reality. Your initial stages of learning and mastering
the golf swing technique will at conscious level. With
more practice, your linguistic application will become
sub-conscious.

technique easier and faster. |

Programming
refers to
strategies,
habits, routines, and patterns. We organize
ideas and actions to achieve specific desired results and
goals. Often we find that we use the same patterns repeatedly.
Once a pattern is learned the brain will continue to use it
until something different is programmed (learned). The idea
here is to reproduce the programming behind success,
excellence and performance of those who stand out from the
ordinary to become extraordinary.
In golf,
successful golfers with playing experience should have many
and different 'programs' installed in their mind and
body. The 'programs' are use for their practice session similar
to the way the golf game is played, correct
warm-up routine, golf
swing and putting technique performances just to name a few.
Every shot performance
has positive intention. All your installed 'programs'
require your mind and body to perform
a desire psychological
outcome. A pre-shot program may take less than 30 seconds but it is
paramount to a successful golfer.
NLP™ Anchoring
technique is a very powerful tool for every shot preparation
be it your tee-shots, pitching, chipping and putting to enhance
your composure, confidence and focus in golf swing execution
and shot performance. If the created 'program' serves you - generate
positive results -
great! If you find that some programs do not serve you, you
can change by recreate a useful 'program' that you feel
comfortable to work with.
To be a proficient golfer
in short duration, golfers must copy the golf activity
'program' of the elite players. My experience tell me that
golfers only elicit the importance of warm-up when they
attend major tournament to see idol tour players spending
approximately 2 hours at range before their tee time (game starting
time) and was even
surprised to see them wind down after the game at the
range.

Play your best game by applying NLP™ Programming for
all golf shots performance. |

Where NLP™
was originated?
NLP™ was originated by John Grinder (whose background was in
linguistics) and Richard Bandler (whose background was in
mathematics and gestalt therapy) for the purpose of making
explicit models of human excellence. Their first work The
Structure of Magic Vol. I & II (1975, 1976) identified the
verbal and behavioral patterns of therapists Fritz Perls
(the creator of gestalt therapy) and Virginia Satir
(internationally renowned family therapist). Their next work
Patterns of the Hypnotic Technique of Milton H. Erickson,
M.D. Vol. I & II (1975, 1976) examined the verbal and
behavioral patterns of Milton Erickson, founder of the
American Society of Clinical Hypnosis and one of the most
widely acknowledged and clinically successful psychiatrists
of our times. As a result of this earlier work, Grinder and Bandler formalized their modeling technique and their own
individual contributions under the name "Neuro-Linguistic
Programming" to symbolize the relationship between the
brain, language and the body. The basics of this model has
been described in a series of books including Frogs Into
Princes (Bandler & Grinder, 1979 ) , Neuro-Linguistic
Programming Vol. I (Dilts, Grinder, Bandler, DeLozier,
1980), Reframing (Bandler & Grinder, 1982) and Using Your
Brain (Bandler, 1985). Through the years,
NLP™ has developed
some very powerful tools and skills for communication and
change in a wide range of professional areas including:
counseling, psychotherapy, education, health, creativity,
law, management, sales, leadership and parenting.
The NLP™
principles and
presuppositions
for your golf:
-
If you always do what
you always did….you always get what you always got.
-
Your behavior to the
outcome is more
important than the outcome.
-
What are your Internal
Representation (IR) of your golf swing action?
-
The map is not the
territory.
-
There is no failure,
only feedback.
-
If one person can,
anyone can.
-
You cannot not
communicate.
-
The meaning of your
communication is the response that you get.
-
Every behavior has a
positive intention.
-
Most learning and change
takes place at the sub-conscious level.
-
People already have all
the resources they need to change.
-
Whoever has the most
flexibility has control of the situation.
The great reality of NLP™ is
if one person can do something, anyone else can learn how to
do it. Human excellence can be systematically studied then
reproduced. Just as you can learn to swim, drive a car or
use a computer, so too can you learn and apply the core
achievement skills
you need to become outstanding in your profession and playing
golf efficiently.
My students
have benefited from my
NLP™ golf
coaching and so can you.
