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
