How to improve focus part 3

 

This third lesson on how to improve your ability to focus is really easy yet powerful when you implement it as a habit.

 

As I said in the previous videos on improving focus, you already know how to do this. I’ve worked with kids with extreme ADD who, by some miracle, can get themselves to focus for hours when they play video games. It’s a matter of motivation and directing your thoughts.

 

Having said that, the biggest problem holding you back from implementing your amazing ability to focus is in thinking you need to focus more than you do.

 

Think about this for a second. We are out there on a golf course for about 3-4 hours. Can anyone really focus that long with a high intensity? Absolutely not! You would probably have a massive headache if you tried that. In fact, many of us play golf because it’s relaxing and offers us an escape from our daily life of stress and personal troubles right?

 

Many of my golf rounds are spent having a beer or two, laughing and joking with my friends and going for miracle shots and long drives…just for the fun of it! Even when I’m golfing like that, I still manage to bring in the focus but only during those 10 seconds…

 

Right before I’m ready to take the shot or putt. That’s all you need to focus…10 seconds a shot, no more! That’s not asking much of ourselves. I can do that even while I’m playing a beer round. You can do that!

 

10 seconds times 90 strokes is 900 seconds for a total of 15 whole minutes spread out over a time period of 3-4 hours….this is easy! You’ve done far more than that when you pick up a book or magazine article to read, let alone when you are at work or watching your favorite TV show.

(which you are probably really good at focusing over there).

 

So, the trick is to make an extreme focus for 10 seconds, part of your pre shot routine. Make it habit. If you don’t have a very good pre shot routine, well then, you’d better get one. I teach mine in my break 80 without practice course.

 

What I’ve been teaching you here is that you don’t need to learn any new “skill”about focusing. You just need to approach things differently than you have if you really want to lower your scores.   I’m not going to tell you to eliminate your bad habits for how you’ve been doing things that destroy your focus ability. It’s tough to eliminate habits. But, it’s EASY to replace habits with other habits.

 

If you want to lower your score and you believe that your lack of focus in the past is what’s held you back, then you’ve got to make a commitment to the tools I’ve given you here. You’ve got to attack this issue with just as much determination as you do when your swing is off.

 

The great thing about the mental game is that you can practice it everywhere. Are you thinking of ways to practice what I’ve taught you in this series at home or in your mind?

    Good tips Craig. My better rounds are when I am not thinking about my game between shots and then I focus for the few seconds before , during and after each shot. Helps to have partners that enjoy chatting about other topics between shots.
