Hypnosis For Golf – Dan Regan Hypnotherapy Ely & Newmarket

Could hypnosis for golf help you to play better?

You’ve invested in your clubs and kit. You’ve worked on your technique, read about the strategies of the great players and maybe even had some golf coaching. However, if your mindset is not in the right place then you probably find that things still unravel out on the course.

It could be some nerves that derail your playing when the pressure is on, in competition or around certain other players. Perhaps you find that one bad shot leads to more and more wayward playing and your performance tanks for a few holes. It could be that you choke when faced with a tough shot or putt. Maybe you feel a fear of failure or even a fear of success. And any other number of negative thoughts and feelings, before or during a game, can stop you relaxing, enjoying your game and performing to your best when you want to.

It may not even always be golf related thoughts and feelings that interfere with your game. General life stress and busyness, overthinking, self criticism, self doubt and just about anything else can follow you out onto the course. And, of course, you have plenty of time between shots and while waiting for others, for a stray thought or distracting idea to take root and grow within your awareness.

The end result is the frustration of failing to play as well as you know you are capable of playing. The psychology around the game is the difference between performing to your best and getting better, or finding that your enjoyment, performances and confidence drain away.

Hypnosis for golf can help you to boost performance by taking charge of your thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions in ways that help you to play to your potential.

Hypnosis For Golf Performance

Research has demonstrated that hypnosis can be a very effective tool for helping you to enhance and improve your sports performance. It’s been demonstrated to be effective for improving performance in a variety of sports, with the strongest support for enhancement of basketball, golf, soccer and badminton skills. There is also evidence that hypnosis may be useful for enhancing performance in cricket and weight-lifting, as well as precision sports like archery and throwing accuracy (Milling & Randazzo, 2016).

Hypnosis for sports performance, including golf performance, can also help you to build confidence and self-belief, reduce anxiety and stress and to develop motivation and focus in your training and in competition.

The research and evidence demonstrates that hypnosis can certainly help your golf performance and I talked more about some of the research over in this article: Hypnosis For Golf Performance

You can read more about the research over in that article. The results or research have demonstrated that hypnosis can help improve golf chipping performance and increase feelings and thoughts associated with flow, such as confidence, relaxation, concentration and control (Pates & Maynard, 2000). 

The results of another study indicated that participant golfers increased their golf putting performance. The golfers also reported that the hypnosis intervention had helped to keep them relaxed, confident, and focused, and several reported experiencing reduced concerns about performing and more control over their putting stroke (Pates, Oliver and Maynard, 2001),

And a further study demonstrated that hypnosis interventions can have a positive effect on the performance and flow experiences of elite golfers and that it may be an effective way of preparing professional golfers for significant competition (Pates & Cowen, 2013).

All of the research and evidence suggests that hypnosis can help you to play your best and improve your golf performance. Whether it’s chipping, driving, putting or other aspects of the game and competition, you can use hypnosis to positively help you to enhance your play. As well as boosting your performance, you can also increase psychological aspects and skills that support your play, such as focus, concentration, enjoyment, calmness and your confidence.

And there’s more about hypnosis for golf in this short explanation video:

Golf Hypnotherapy

Rather than new clubs, more time on the driving range or a technical coach, often the element that helps you play to your potential is what goes on inside your mind. Your own thoughts and feelings mean you can find yourself getting in your own way. Tension, nerves, distraction, anxiety, worry and a multitude of other psychological factors can interfere with your performance or stop you progressing to the next level.

Golf hypnotherapy can help you to change limiting beliefs, habits and patterns that don’t support your golf. Instead you replace them with focus, concentration, confidence and calm.

Unlike many other sports, golf gives you plenty of time for thinking, and often for overthinking. One loose shot can spiral into a wrecked few holes or entire round. One negative thought can create doubt, tension and distraction that sabotages your usual routines.

If you struggle with focus and confidence, choke under pressure, get performance anxiety or find that one bad shot ruins your game then hypnotherapy for golf can help you to take back control over your own thoughts, feelings and actions in ways that support your game. You can quiet that inner dialogue,  build your self-belief and confidence in your game, improve focus and concentration and stay calm under pressure.

If you want to play to your potential and get the mental edge then you can overcome your performance blocks, even if you’ve battled with them for years. Instead, you can play with confidence and to the best of your capability. You can enjoy your golf even more, have more fun and relish consistently performing to your best.

To your golfing success,

Dan Regan
