The Inner Game of Golf

Product Information

It was easy for me to apply the Inner Game principles to any corporate application because the foundation was simple and universal. And now, after twenty years of applying his Inner Game methods to the royal and ancient sport of golf, Gallwey brings us this completely revised edition of his classic The Inner Game of Golf, nearly half of which is new material, published here for the first time. If a downswing that is square to the target line is Zero, a swing that is slightly inside out could be a +1. The "inner game" is based upon certain principles in which an individual uses non-judgmental observations of critical variables, with the purpose of being accurate about these observations. But what attracts our attention and in what do we invest our goals and efforts, individually and collectively?

So, the goal here is actually quite simple – we are trying to find an attitude on the course which allows you to be competitive while still enjoying the game at every turn. Unfortunately, I borrowed this book from a friend when I read it, so I no longer have it as a reference. When asked to do more, we invite self-doubt because the brain cannot consciously control the body with words; that part of the brain that analyzes , conceptualizes and instructs us verbally is incapable of moving a muscle, and has only a limited capacity to communicate to the part of the brain that does control our physical behavior. To do that, requires a great deal of unlearning of bad habits and a new way of being that involves us being much more open and trusting to what is actually happening within and around us.

We explored how the Inner Game principles could help with not only stress management, but stress reduction and prevention. Hundreds of keynote addresses were delivered on a wide range of Inner Game applications including Achieving Excellence in Performance, Learning to Learn in an Age of Change, The Inner Games of Management, Leadership and Coaching, as well as The Inner Game of Work. W. Timothy Gallwey’s bestselling Inner Game books have revolutionized the way we think about sports. I don't play golf any more, but read this book not long after taking up golf quite a long time ago, about a 17 handicap at that time. In addition to the specifics of Inner chipping, Inner swinging, and Inner putting, Gallwey explains why the art of “relaxed concentration” is the fundamental skill for improving every aspect of your game.There are other great books on golf psychology as well that are also far more golf specific than this "bouce, hit" effort. The fundamental question is, What is truly possible for you both as an individual or as an organization? Tim’s current focus lies in developing the Inner Game international School and the online implementation of Life U to make Inner Game tools available globally to aid individuals of any age or background in achieving their goals anywhere, anytime. At first it may take awhile to become aware of the specific negative mantras that are affecting you, but as you fix your attention on what’s going on in your head, you’ll notice that repeating themes start to emerge. The only way to play this game is one shot at a time, which is a fact that is difficult for some people to accept.
