How to Play Golf in the ZONE

A great interview today with author, Roy Palmer. His latest book, Golf Sense [Practical Tips On How To Play Golf In The Zone] was the topic of our discussion. His book covers a wide variety of mental and physical exercises designed to put you in “the zone” – a sublime state where life and sport do not seem quite so complicated.

Most of us get it by mistake and then do not know how to get it back. I have also witnessed it. Several years ago I was caddying in a pro-am for my good friend Bill Ward. His front 9 was off the chart and we stopped counting after 7 holes. On the back 9 he found his way into the zone and shot a natural 36 and tied pro D.A. Weibring on the backside. Nothing to it! Still smile when I think about that day.  What a magical moment.

Interview comments from Roy on how to get into The Zone:

•  Be in the moment by focusing on the activity in hand, whether you are walking, standing, going into your stance, or preparing to take your shot
•    Be detached from the outcome
•    Keep your jaw, neck, and shoulders relaxed
•    Sense the ground under your feet
•    Prevent your habitual reactions from taking over
•    Enjoy the moment and let nature take its course

You may listen to the entire 15 minute interview here on The Retired Coach Radio Show

This was also a milestone interview for me by having Roy Palmer as our first international guest speaking with us from Bedford, England.

Clint Moody Comes Home for the Kids

Portsmouth, VA - Professional golfer, Clint Moody, has won professional golf tournaments, set scoring records and holds the Montana state scoring record of an amazing 13 under par 59. He has been featured across the country in national publications, talk shows, golf blogs and radio. Clint is becoming a household name in the golf social networking world. If you ask him to share his greatest accomplishments he simply responds, "Never forgetting where I came from and giving back." Currently attracting a lot of attention as a premier up and coming golf star he also has found time to support a project close and dear to his heart.
Clint Moody will be calling upon his sponsors, friends, and fans to support his latest endeavor, The Urban Outreach Center. This is a division of Sanctuary of Hope in his hometown, Portsmouth, VA. This charity is supported entirely by donations. It counsels and encourages high risk kids toward a better future. "This is my hometown. These kids are me, 25 years ago. We have to step up and make them realize dreams do come true. We are never destined to become what we are expected to be. These young folks need a breath of confidence and someone who believes in them. I am here to share a story, and hopefully motivate some to chase their dreams." he recently stated.

Moody will be visiting the center July 9th to deliver a motivational message, sign autographs, and present a check on behalf of all the friends and fans of clintmoody.com.  His visit will be preceded by a fundraiser/auction to be held in Portsmouth on July 8th. The public is welcome to attend and participate in both events. Clint will be available to meet and greet everyone. For more information, please contact Clint at  info@clintmoodygolf.com. You may also contact, Cristina Widener of the Urban Outreach Center at 703-393-0664.

Clint is definitely setting the standard for professional athletes. Perhaps other local athletes and celebrities will take notice. Being a role model is not a choice; it is a responsibility. The city of Portsmouth is very proud of this young man and the Moody family. The will to succeed will always win out.

Why True Love is Recession Proof

Talk about your unintended outcomes.

A little over a year and a half ago, our son, Tucker, was laid off from his position as an equity trader for a Swiss company. He, like millions of others in the financial markets, was out of work and unemployed. I am just sayin' what happened next though is what this story is all about.


Instead of jumping back into the job search full time he decided on another course. Yes, he did continue to look for his next job, but without fear or need to do so in an all encompassing and time consuming manner. He prioritized his goals and set off to get in the best physical shape possible. Add to this a commitment to nutrition and eating healthy foods. In just 6 weeks he transformed himself into the best physical and mental shape of his life. What a noticeable difference! Others noticed as well.

Unemployed yes, but healthier, and more grounded than ever, he found Jessica. Or perhaps they found each other. Does not matter, you see, because the point of all this is they never would have met had he not been laid off from his job. Would their paths have crossed if he was not effected by the recession? You see, Tucker managed the desk that traded on the Asian markets and he worked from 6 pm to 4 am. Not much room for a social life, let alone a romance with that schedule.

A lot has happened since they found each other. They decided to move in together, Tucker was called back to work for the Swiss company mentioned earlier, and the biggest news of all is they are now engaged! Wow, what an outcome of this recession.

Let's see . . .it was 1979, another recession I recall when this photo was taken. Looks like we both survived. Life goes on, recession or not.  We welcome Jessica to our family and wish her and Tucker a life of love, respect and happiness.
