Re: concentration for consistency

The single greatest book i have read on The psychology of this crazy game is "Zen Golf"

It outlines a technique to combat your problem. In general your going to have to slow down.. Not only because its hurting your game, but if you rush, your just going to have to wait on the next shot anyway... everyone in the U.S. is slower than... well... slow!..

Its called the SLOW MOTION drill. Just take your normal pre-shot rutine you do... but do it as SLOW as possible!! you need to actually walk up to the ball in slow motion and set up in slow motion and then swing normaly.

it will aid you in learning to slow down.

Another idea!
To stay in the moment during a round, try and focus on relaxing each part of your body individually, starting with your head, then neck, then breathing, then arms and abs and legs and feet.... breath deaply and reduce any other areas in your body that have tension. you can do this as you walk. you dont want to be a noodle, but a athletic but calm muscular masterpeice!!!

THen Hit that thing!
hope this helps.
sorry so long.
