: When you turn out on the golf course and commence your practice tee. You play your best in the round, however when it comes to the terminal round you will be no longer a good golfer. This happens because at the final round you will drop off your mental strengthening and much worried about your score.
You are not the one person, who looses your focus at the time of putting, its common with all other top golf players also. However they learnt how to manage themselves on the course and maintain their focus to get a good score.
And most significantly they are more positive and have great confidence. That positive outlook allows them to play at higher level.
Improving your mental focus is a threshold to improve your game and achieve peak performance. If you don't stay concentrated for the entire round then you will not reach your maximum potential.
When you are in the zone to play your round then your mind will throw tantrums because of which you will hit a bad shot or you will miss the hole. That's what we call losing focus "in the moment", which produces lower scores and a lower level of enjoyment playing the game.
What is an anchor?
An anchor is settled when an inner response turns related with an external stimulus. Think Pavlov and his salivating dogs..
Hear A Bell = Salivate
Anchoring yourself is very easy to do. But because anchors can be affirmative or negative, and programed with or without your conscious consciousness, it's to your advantage to set them deliberately.
Here's how to do it:
When ever you smash an awesome drive or stroke the clear putt, you are momentarily in what we call a "peak state". Immediately, perform some kind of unique action - say a specific phrase, snap your fingers twice, blink your eyes three times quickly, etc. The keys are that you do it right forth, and that it be unique enough that it's not something you do all the time.
After completing this process various times, you will have anchored that action and that peak state. The cool thing is that you can then execute that action (anchor) at any time on the course, and put yourself right back into that peak state. This will greatly raise your chances of acting well - we all kick more butt when in peak states.
A great time to set anchors is out on the practice range. Simply hit a shot, and see how the result feels. Obviously, anchor in only the really good shots.
This practice range situation is ideal because you get the repetition necessary for setting those solid, positive anchors. Then go out and use them on the course to attain and preserve your peak states. Simply "activate" your new anchor (by performing the unique action) as part of your pre-shot routine, or anytime (on or off the course) when your need to be at your best.
Pavlov would be so proud of all you dogs!
