For your mind:
Golf provides ample opportunity for the mind to interfere with the exellence developed in the mechanics of the swing.  A strong, sound and focused mind can be the next step in lower scores or increased enjoyment of the game no matter the score.  GMGC recommends Herman Johnson, President of CerebralSports, to help you improve your mental game.  Herman has worked with numerous professional and top-level amateur athletes in his 35 years of coaching.  He currently coaches the Concordia University track team.

You have worked with your instructor trying to get that one last move down that will give you the swing you want.  But you just can't get it!  So frustrating!  You are not a bad student and your instructor isn't a poor teacher, you body may be preventing you from making that move.  To check out your body and discover where it may be holding you back and ways to overcome its limitations, GMGC encourages you to contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
