Visualization is a word I'm sure a lot of people have heard particularly if they're watching the golf on the TV. The commentator often talking about how the players are standing back behind the shot, chatting with his caddy, visualizing the shot he wants to hit.

Let's look at it a little bit deeper now because I think for most golfers, they probably stand behind the ball and see the way they think the ball is going to go, but he’s probably going to see the ball landing in the water or see the ball flying out of bounce.

That’s a lot of the negativity that a lot of golfers stand over the golf ball with. They visualize the bad shot and it’s a self fulfilling prophecy. They see the ball curving into the water, stand over the ball, produce a swing that curves into the water and then if you will, yeah, that's kind of how I saw it happening.

But the pro golfer has a very tuned in mind. He's is standing over the golf ball with his caddy, picturing the ball finishing perfectly next to the hole or perfectly down the center of the fairway and it takes a little bit of practice like practicing your grip or practicing your swing which takes time.

Visualizing the right shot takes time and it takes time to believe that it makes a difference and it’s kind of an influence. So, next time you're at the practice ground, just stand behind the ball for a few more seconds before each swing. Visualize the perfect shot: flying high, landing next to the flag, spinning it nice and close and then go ahead and hit that shot with a bit more certainty and a bit more confidence. Visualize that shot more regularly, start producing those shots more regularly on the golf course as well.
