Press Release Summary = Why can\'t we take that practice to the golf course? What\'s
the mysterious force that bleeds our \"seemingly capable golf swing\" of all its
repeatability in such a short space of time

Press Release Body = When we walk from practice tee to first tee, all that practice
usually stays behind in a realm of \"effortless, repeatable, no-anxiety applied\" golf
swings.

What mysterious force bleeds our \"seemingly capable golf swing\" of all its
repeatability in such a short space of time? The \"Law\" of \"Orientation\", that
applies a non negotiable force of \"Cross Programming\", brought about by what you\'ve
practiced before starting the golf round.

Visual information received during that 20 - 40 minutes was restricted to the same
area of practice range. Repeating the same shot ad nauseam for the entire session
doesn\'t program anything to into your \"I\'m going to play golf on a golf course in
40 minutes\" computer.
You\'ve firmly implanted a program of hitting both sequentially and quickly. Shooting
towards the same target repeatedly. None of that preparation will apply in the
course of playing a \"normal\" round of golf. \"Normal\" for most club golfers means
hitting a driver from the first tee, second shot from the rough; missing the green,
leaving a tough chip to save a par or bogey!

If that\'s \"normal”, what where you doing before your round? Not practicing
golf! You weren\'t preparing yourself for the realities of golf shots executed in a
game of golf:

1. The practice failed to give your brain correct messages to enable an orientation
program compatible with the task you are about to undertake.
2. You\'ve developed a repetitious program no help in playing different golf shots to
different types of visual targets with realistic time frame intervals between shots.


Arriving on the first tee huge amounts of new visual data hit the brain\'s
dissemination mechanisms, conflicting with the orderly programmed practice session
that\'s just taken place. None of the practice data is relevant to the current
situation of timing and phasing of one specific starting tee shot.

Orientation is programmed on the practice tee by way of a disciplined approach to
your practice methodology. To repeat the same shot to the same target will at best
be beneficial in terms of physical exercise only.

Become imaginative when hitting shots before playing:
1. Time frames that are not short in duration and repetition
2. Hit different shots from different lies to different targets, even to the extent
of moving from one end of the range to the other
3. Don\'t let yourself become comfortable in a specific area on the range. The
comfort factor becomes a security blanket that can never be taken onto the golf
course.

For practice golf to make perfect golf, practice as you will be expected to play on
the golf course. You\'ll get far more satisfaction from a practice session utilizing
this approach, and your real shotmaking skills will improve dramatically.
