The psychology of Golf

It has been suggested many times that golf is a mental game, especially once you have the basic techniques under your belt. Your body knows how to make the perfect shot, you have made a few of those already, but your mind is what stops you from repeating this time after time.

Psychologist Joan Arehart-Treichel addresses the phenomenon in detail in her article published by Psychiatric News.


Some Golfers Find Analysis Par for the Course -- Arehart-Treichel 40 (5): 21 -- Psychiatric News

Golf is an effort to master one's environment, Katz reported. The drive to master one's environment is fundamental to building an ego. Therefore, a big part of one's self-respect is involved in playing golf.

Emotional equilibrium is also crucial for the game, Lebovitz pointed out. Thus, when psychological issues intrude on one's golf game, they can really mess it up, several anecdotes reported during the session revealed.

One concerned a high school student, "Jim." He was anxious about his putting ability and wanted to quit playing golf. During analysis, Jim revealed that his father wanted him to go to college on a golf scholarship, yet he did not want to do so and feared telling his father that. His conflict over the matter was interfering with his golf game.

Kids golf discussion

I just came across this forum thread which is discussing the different method that people are using to teach their kids golf.


You might be interested in checking it out!

I teach a number of young children, including my 7 year old son and 10 year old daughter. The most important thing about teaching children and introducing them to golf is to let them learn at their own pace and don't expect them to understand all the complex moves and shakes required to make a 'proper' golf swing

The Perfect Swing





Promoting his latest book, 'The Perfect Swing', Dr. Jim Suttie, the 2000 PGA Teacher of the Year,has written this extremely helpful and complete article.



He talks about power leaks that cause inconsistent ball striking.







Jim Suttie: Get rid of your power leaks; build a more consistent swing (Bonita Daily News)



When golfers come to me for a golf lesson, one of the main things they want is a more consistent swing. In this article, I will talk about those "power leaks" that will cause inconsistent ball striking.



If this article is anything to go on the book has to be amazing.



Some of the 'power leaks' addressed in the article alone are;




  • A weak left-hand grip

  • Setting up on your left side with open shoulders and a narrow stance

  • Holding the club too tight

  • Playing the ball too far forward in your stance

  • A fast backswing

  • A rolling clubface

  • An excessive long backswing and letting go of the golf club at the top of the swing

  • A flying right elbow

  • Excessive leg action on the backswing with no coil

  • Swaying to the right on the backswing

  • An arm swing only








Id be interested to hear from anyone who has actually read the book.
