Course Exercise: Attentional Cues:

When you are playing a round of golf, every golf player from every level has his attention on different things. Underneath you’ll find different options where to keep your attention on during a round.

Read the examples underneath, pick the one(s) you like and go out and practice it on the course and figure out what works for YOU!

• verbal cues (e.g., “focus,” “ready,” “smooth,” etc.)
• visual focus cues (e.g., “looking at specific dimple or bottom third of ball, pin, tops of trees, etc.)
• physical cues (e.g., taking a deep breath, forward press, waggle, etc.)
• single cues versus cues in combination (e.g., take a deep breath, pulling up your shirt sleeve, while
• saying ‘let’s go, you have done this before.”)
• kinesthetic or feel cues (e.g, shoulders under, delayed release, elbow touching ribs in putting, etc.)
• auditory cues (e.g., not lifting your head on a putt untill you hear ball drop)
• Internal visual/kin. cues (e.g., mental rehearsal: top of swing, impact or follow-through)
