I've been thinking about Tiger Woods lately. After his win at the Chevron World Challenge this past December, I've been waiting to see Woods regain his glory. But after coming up short at Abu Dhabi and at Pebble Beach, I've been doubting whether we'll be seeing Woods as the legend he once was in the near future. What's keeping Woods from making his comeback? Why isn't he delivering the way he once could? After evaluating Tiger Woods' mental golf game, it seems that's where he needs to … [Read more...]

Although the Northern Trust Open at Riviera ended yesterday, the golf world is still reliving it. Sunday's heart-pounding performance had golf fans from all over guessing who would come out victorious... It was Bradley, Mickelson, and Haas. And when the dust settled, Bill Haas had won for the 4th time in his career (and collected $1.188 million). The result? Haas moved to the #12 position in the World Golf Rankings. What gave Haas the edge to compete with the best golfers? His mental game. … [Read more...]

This past Sunday, the golf world watched as Phil Mickelson dominated at Pebble Beach. The weather on Sunday? Not the best for golfers. And despite that and the pressure, Mickelson came out ahead with an 8-under 64 and bogey-free performance. He claimed his 40th career win (which makes him 9th for all-time in PGA tour wins)! How did he do it? Mickelson tells us himself. When commenting on his phenomenal putting during the tournament, he explained that it was "because I didn't have any … [Read more...]

The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am starts Thursday. As Tiger Woods readies to play his best, he takes some time out to talk to reporters. And I'm sure glad he did! Woods lets us in on a key aspect of golf: anyone can be a great golfer. In his words: "...the cool thing about the game is you can play it so many different ways. You don't have to be a power player. You can hit it shorter and still get the ball in the hole. You just have to be more efficient." Basically, as long as you focus … [Read more...]

Okay, so Kyle Stanley recently won the Waste Management Open this past Sunday. And it was Stanley's first win on the PGA Tour. That's big. But you know what I think is the most impressive feat that Stanley pulled off? That he came out ahead only days after suffering a bad defeat at the Farmers Insurance Open. Need I remind you of his five-shot lead heading into Sunday at Torrey Pines? He couldn't hold onto it... And its days later that he came from seven shots back to win his first tournament … [Read more...]

Pro golfer Frances Bondad is playing great due to mental golf. That's right: Frances Bondad has a real shot at winning the RACV Australian Ladies Masters at Royal Pines. She's now in 5th place. And after having five successive birdies, we shouldn't be surprised to see her come out with a victory. But it wasn't always like this for Bondad. In fact, quite recently she was struggling with a very low confidence issue. She didn't feel like she could win. She then met up with Dr. Adam Nichols, … [Read more...]

Ryan Palmer comes out ahead with mental golf. That's right. At the end of the first day of the Phoenix Open, Ryan Palmer came out ahead with a 7-under 64 and the lead. What helped him do it? Palmer himself let's us in on his secret: "I used the exact same putter the last two years, and of course had two of the best years of my career... But toward the end of the year last year, around the BMW, I just got frustrated with not making anything, so I thought I'd try something different, put a … [Read more...]

Pro golfer Gary Woodland is now ranked #54 in the world. Still, he came out tied for 76th at Torrey Pines. Woodland isn't happy about that, but is trying to stay optimistic. He mentioned that despite his loss, he'd “like to be ready for Augusta.” Can he do it? Well, top golf instructor Butch Harmon claims that he can. And not just that but Harmon added that “the kid has a chance to be the best player in the world." What's holding Woodland back? His mental game.   And he knows it. … [Read more...]

Although he was tied for 35th at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, Padraig Harrington is improving with mental golf. The world's #90 is now working with mental coach, David Alred. You may have heard of Alred before... He was the mental coach who brought out the best in Luke Donald. Okay, so how do I know that Harrington is improving? I would say that his performance last Friday says it all. Harrington himself said that "I rolled the ball really nicely on the greens out there. Nearly … [Read more...]

You've heard that Robert Rock (who was ranked 117th in the world) beat out everybody at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. Westwood, McIlroy, Schwartzel, and Tiger Woods... But how did he do it? He was up against giants and won! Rock himself said that he was "...struggling a bit just because I was playing with Tiger..." So what was his secret? The answer is that Robert Rock beats the world's best golfers with mental golf. What do I mean by that? Rock himself mentioned that although he was a … [Read more...]
