Most golfers have no idea how much their mind and emotions are affecting their golf shots until they take this golf school.

This is a very pragmatic, no-nonsense golf school that teaches you how to focus your mind during the swing, where not to focus it (impact, your swing, the ball, your score) and where you should be focused to hit the ball effectively.

.Are you tense, "frozen" over the ball and worried about the outcome of the shot you are about to hit? Do you "flinch" during your swing, especially at impact? Do you steer the club through the impact zone? Are your drives typically sliced and/or lacking in distance? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need this golf school.
