Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. I don’t agree or disagree with you,
I just think you’re missing some points that could help you.

First off, if I were to use your logic, then every time any golfer who spent the week working
on their swing, taking lessons or hitting golf balls and then had a bad round as a result
should conclude that those efforts are also worthless.

Here’s the deal. Feeling great and having a positive attitude is just one part
of the game. Of course you have to have your fundamentals and skills. I never
said that you don’t. But the fact remains that if you already know how to hit a golf
shot well and have done it before a number of times, then you have the ability to
do it again and again and again, consistently. Hitting a ton of balls on the range
can also certainly help increase the odds as the myelin is laid down on the neural
network with each repetition. But it is NOT THE ONLY WAY to improve or get
into the zone.

Getting into the zone is a process that starts with an outlook
on what you’re doing that is like the child in the sandbox. It’s not everything but if you
have mental roadblocks and self criticisms running through your head as you step up
to the tee, it is going to play havoc with even the best golfers on the planet. You can’t
deny that…look at Tiger Woods this year.
Getting in the zone happens more often and for longer when you do the mental/emotional
work to prepare for it. It can happen when you can take a short time and bypass all of the stored
failures that you have had on the course in the past so that they don’t interfere with
your swing. That’s what this interview is all about.

Have you felt like you were in the zone before? Even for a few holes. When you were playing
to your peak? Everybody has this ability.

Kelly has worked with hundreds of golfers in person with this kind of work with amazing success
as have I.

It’s up to you whether you want to believe that you can increase your odds of getting there with
your thinking, or, you want to stay in the mindset of limitations.

Thanks again for writing.
Greens and fairways,

Craig
