GOLF IS NOT A GAME of PERFECT!

I mean to say: “Good Golf is Not a Game of Perfect!” To that end, I would love to share a chat that I had with Dr Bob Rotella at Tiger Woods’ Restaurant in Jupiter, Florida a few years back. Dr Bob is one of my favorite “Mental Experts” in the world of golf and he had just spent over an hour with Ben and me sharing some valuable insights into “How to become a Maximum Performer on the golf course.” Here is the link to a Podcast that I held with Dr Bob Rotella over a “Tiger Woods TBone” and a glass of red.

Dr Bob Rotella on Loving the Game and Positive Attitude.

Doc Rotella’s Cure for the Thinking Athlete

Brad Faxon initially sought out Rotella’s help in 1984, at the end of his first year on the tour, when he finished 124th on the money list and barely held onto his card. Faxon’s strong suit was undoubtedly his skill with a wedge and a putter; he was, understandably, concentrating on other aspects of his game — trying to hit the ball straighter, to cultivate more power in his swing. Rotella convinced him that his emphasis was misplaced and encouraged him to milk his strengths as a source of confidence. ”You don’t have to be the best driver in the world,” Rotella recalls telling him, ”because you’ve got a great short game and a great mind.” With work and over time, Faxon has become even better around the greens, so that now many people consider him the best putter on the tour. He has earned a spot on the past two Ryder Cup teams; last year, he finished eighth on the money list. ”He’s really learned to love his game,” Rotella says, ”and not wish he had somebody else’s.”

Faxon says his work with Rotella has taught him that ”if you’re going to achieve excellence in sport, you’ve got to have the long-term memory of your successes, not your failures.” It is tempting to attribute the success of Rotella’s methods to that time-worn formula, the power of positive thinking, and Rotella acknowledges that there’s an element of that at work in what he does. But, he says, it isn’t crucial: ”I tell people: If you don’t want to get into positive thinking, that’s O.K. Just eliminate all the negative thoughts from your mind, and whatever’s left will be fine.”

He is also intent on cultivating ”trust” — the conviction that under pressure you will replicate the shot that you can hit 10 out of 10 times in practice. The player who trusts his own skill can ”free it up and let it go” in competition, Rotella says. Whereas ”the player who has to give himself a positive-thinking pep talk every time he goes to hit the ball doesn’t really believe that he can make the shot.’

The follow-on from this idea is the need to learn to hit 10 shots in a row in practice and this will lead us to dive into “The Laws of Accuracy” by Sasha Novak.
