The CLUTCH GOLFER FORMULA: How To Hit Exactly The Shot You Want, Precisely When You Need It Dec 2, 2019

by Eric Jones , Glen Albaugh

( 19 )

$6.99

We love clutch moments: the drama, the anticipation, the thrill of seeing athletes come up big in the face of extraordinary challenge. Golf Digest's Jaime Diaz even calls clutch "the most admired attribute in sports." Who wouldn't want to be the hero who delivers when it's all on the line?

But will you be ready when its your shot?

Clutch athletes across all sports consistently rely on a small set of identifiable skills to succeed under pressure. The book reveals how these key skills - focus, intention, and trust - can be developed through deliberate practice, and then systematically deployed in a structured routine. Follow the four steps of the Clutch Formula to:

LOCK into the target, shot, and swing

LOAD the feel and set-up

FIRE with confidence, belief and freedom

HOLD to review, reinforce or adjust

The Clutch Formula takes the mystery out of knowing what you should think about, how to manage your emotions under pressure, and what it takes to release the club with confidence. Whether it is nailing a drive, sticking an approach, or draining a putt, making those pivotal shots under the gun is what fuels our passion, inspires legendary post-round stories, and creates our most memorable golf moments.

By the time you are done reading the book, you'll have have a clear idea of how to improve your playing skills, not just your swing skills. The Clutch Formula takes the mystery out of knowing what you should think about, how to manage your emotions under pressure, and what it takes to release the club with confidence.

If you're serious about your golf, your next breakthrough isn't going to come from swing changes or equipment. It's going to come from your performance skills. You don't have to change your swing to play smarter, tougher, and with more focus. If you're going to break through to the next level, it's going to be because of your playing skills.

This is what you've been missing to take your game to the next level. Break out of the snake-pit of endless swing changes, focus on your playing skills, and start playing the game you love the way you know you can.

HOW TO PRACTICE YOUR GOLF SWING LIKE THE PROS Dec 17, 2011

by Eric Jones

( 37 )

$2.99

HOW TO PRACTICE YOUR GOLF SWING LIKE THE PROS is a "must read" for every golfer who is passionate about their golf game and determined to improve. The book is about 60 pages long, with 12 chapters covering different aspects of practice - from strategy to tactics. You'll find it both thought-provoking and practical.
The simple ideas about what to practice, why, and how to practice effectively are an amazing breakthrough that will help you improve your game far faster and with much more enjoyment. When you finish reading this book you will never think about practice the same way again.
The practice approach and methodologies explained in the book are clear and concise, easy to understand, and more importantly, simple to put into action. They take the drudgery out of practice, create clear focus, and add the excitement of knowing that you are achieving your goals. You'll know you are working on the right things, for the right reasons, in the right way.
Anybody can tell you what to do differently with your golf swing (and they usually do). But this is the first book that fully explains what to do AFTER that to rapidly create permanent, positive change.
Every golfer knows that the real secret to improving is practice. But almost none of them practices efficiently or effectively. In How To Practice Your Golf Swing Like The Pros you'll learn ...
* The REAL purpose of practice (and why you're wasting your time trying to "fix" your swing)
* How to identify your top practice priorities (and why practicing your strengths is critical to good scoring)
* How to use training methods of Olympic athletes to turbo-charge your results (and why some old myths are holding you back)
* How to structure an effective and efficient practice (so you get more done in an hour than most golfers do in a month)
* How to manage your improvement and track your progress (follow this advice and you'll leave every practice session with a feeling of accomplishment)
* Where and how to focus your attention during every swing (hint: it's NOT on the results of your shot)
* The secret of Goldilocks (and how her method will make practice more fun!)
* The Mastery approach to learning (and how this will take the pressure off)
* How to take it to the course (and how to shorten the longest walk in golf - from the practice tee to the first tee)
The ideas in this book are truly evolutionary. They take best practices from dozens of other fields and adapt them to golf. How To Practice Your Golf Swing Like The Pros ushers in a whole new era in teaching and learning about golf, and you will be at the cutting edge.
ABOUT the author: Eric Jones is passionate about the art and science of teaching golf.

He feels strongly that the future of golf instruction lies not just in improving the swing or enhancing mental skills, but in the intersection of both disciplines, where the mind and mechanics work together to create true high-performance results.
