You Should Also Expect to Discover

how the entire process applies not only to golf but to other aspects of living, since it is not fully possible to appreciate the process as it relates to the game outside the total context of the rest of one's existence. There is far too much energy invested in attempts to comprehend life activities (and golf) as though they were isolated from each other, things unto themselves. Our golf games deserve to be seen in a context of the whole, not as an entity of unique human value, with no relevance to the rest of life. Quite the contrary. In fact, it is not possible to reach maturity in the physical game without understanding and becoming competent in the management of the mental game.

Of all games, golf is perhaps more like the rest of life than any other.

You will also learn . . .

• the basic issues necessary to understand and manage anxiety as it relates to our work and play
•  
• how to manage the myriad of circumstances in the game that are created by non-discriminatory emotional activity
•  
• to recognize, identify and clarify myths that have created barriers for virtually all golfers
•  
• to redirect thinking that keeps players duplicating their mistakes rather than their strengths
•  
• about the management "tool" known as "clearkey"
  •  
  • what clearkeys are
  •  
  • how and why clearkeys work
  •  
  • how to apply and utilize clearkeys in teaching, learning, practicing and playing
  •  
  • how clearkeys generate "being in the zone" and neutralize the "yips"
  •  
  • how clearkeys provide balance for the mental and physical game

The Discovery process will also involve . .

• effective use of teaching/training aids with the mental game
•  
• replacing myths with truths
•  
• diagnostic skills for teaching, coaching and playing
•  
• building lesson and coaching plans
