Awaken Your Inner Golfer: Finding Your Flow

Inhaltsangabe

Jerry Brown has been a student of the game of golf for over fifty years and has studied how we naturally learn physical motor skills effectively. Awaken Your Inner Golfer guides you through exploration of forty unique instinct-awakening golf exercises with variations in grip, swing, stance, use of subtle senses and imagination to discover the feel of a golf swing that works for your unique physiology and instinct. The exercises facilitate an awakening of the unique instinctive kinesthetic intelligence within each golfer and will benefit both your short game and your long game. The exercises present an opportunity to learn the feel of an effective swing through trial and error and exploration and discovery in a safe environment where so-called mistakes are experienced only in the context of learning. This learning process of self-discovery tends to have a greater permanence in the body/mind than trying to learn through instruction and mechanics, and is the same process a child instinctively uses to learn any physical motor skill. This instinctive learning approach is not intended to replace conventional mechanical golf instruction but to present tools for learning beyond conventional golf instruction that are not often recognized or utilized. While the mechanics of a golf swing may help you understand the dynamics of a golf swing, reliance on mechanical analysis alone often leads to tyrannical paralysis.The author believes that most swing flaws are not an issue of incorrect mechanics, but a result of the body’s compensations for a grip and posture that work in opposition to natural instincts. Awaken Your Inner Golfer provides unique, simple, and explicit guidelines and illustrations to establish effective foundations of grip and posture that are necessary to access your instinctive kinesthetic intelligence. The section on the grip alone may be worth the price of the book, and may provide the missing link in your golf swing that you’ve been searching for.The playful process of exploring the golf exercises to awaken instinct facilitates trust in your innate abilitiy to play golf more from your subconscious instincts than from your thinking mind. The simplicity of this approach could be the answer to the complexity of traditional golf instruction. The practices of visualization, imagination, mindfulness, and self-awareness to quiet the thinking mind and engage the physical body to improve your golf game also offers the potential for these processes to naturally flow into your daily personal life.
