Golf’s Mental Game

Golfers at all levels are beginning to appreciate more and more the importance of mental game training. The latest example comes from the Florida’s Women’s golf team, which has worked with a variety of sport psychologists and mental game counselors throughout the season. Perhaps the most beneficial session for the team was a two-day seminar with Dr. Deborah Graham, a highly respected tour psychologist who has worked with more than 200 pros. Other courses throughout the season coached players in the importance of focus and staying in the present, among other goals.

Florida’s focus on the mental game has worked; the team has improved to number 11 in the country since March 10^th, when they were ranked 19. As spring returns and the northwest golf season begins again, keep checking with SPINw for our courses on golf’s mental game.
