The old adage goes, golf is 90% mental, 10% physical. That is no more apparent than in the philosophy of subconscious golf. What is subconscious golf? The idea is that you let the physicality of the sport become something you don’t need to actively think of. Instead, you are envisioning the the shot’s eventuality. Instead of focusing on where your feet are, you let your feet find your practiced position, lean the way you did when practicing, all of that without thought, and focus on seeing how and where that ball is going to land. If you play an instrument, the philosophy is much the same- practice the physical details until they become almost automatic.<\/p>\n
