What is the longest shot in Golf?

What if you could use your brain to play better golf?

I have an interesting quote from a professional golfer. During our first session he asked this question, " What is the longest shot in golf?" The answer of course, "The six inches between your ears!"

So that means that hypnosis is the perfect way to improve your golf game! Read on for some more interesting information:

The pros say golf is 80% mental, so why is everyone rushing to their trainers to work on their swing?

One local hypnotist told Action News anchor Nina Radetich that the answer is to train the brain.

It is a sport that requires serious concentration and causes equal amounts of frustration.
"I am inadequate, I do not know what I am doing and I will never get better. I hate this game you know all those things that I am sure every golfer has said once or twice," said new golfer Joanna Schwartz.

She just started taking lessons at Callaway Golf, but she is not perfecting her putt and drive.
"The majority of the time I spend with them is based on the mental the relaxation. The main thing is I want to not be frustrated during a typical game," said Joanna.
Hypnotist Thom Kaz is a personal trainer for the brain.
"Hypnosis is simply getting the critical factor of the concious mind out of the way the guard dog and letting the good ideas come in from the subconcious and be accepted not rejected," said Thom.

Thom teaches his clients how to get to their most relaxed state, so they know what it takes to get there on the course.

"What they think about what they feel are all part of the mental strategies that are going to give them the most of whatever their abilities are. People talk about getting in the zone but if you have never been to the zone you do not know what that is," said Thom.
Peak performance, Thom says, is all about visualization.

Golf coaches say working on the mental side of the game probably works best for pro golfer, but it is not the first step they would recommend for beginners.

"It just depends on how competitive you want to be with it. I do not think you need to think about the mental side if you are just out for fun you do not worry about it," said UNLV Assitant Golf Coach Andy Bischel.

But if you want to move to the next level, it is important to focus on what is in your head.
"If you cannot think right when you are on a golf course you cannot swing right. Everything starts with your thought process," said Andy.

"At some point you have to acknowledge that a lot of what is happening in the six inches between your ears is what is making the difference," said Thom.

Joanna is thinking she wants to have a good time, maybe with the bonus of a lower score.
