If you asked one hundred regular amateur golfers to honestly rate the quality of their mental game on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being highly competent at managing their mental/emotional state on the golf course and one being totally incompetent on the golf course what do you think the majority of golfers would say?

I bet they would say that they rank too low on the scale, probably about a 2 or a 3.

If you then ask them what they need to do to raise their score most would have very little idea about what they need to do.

Some will say that they have read popular authors like Bob Rotella and other popular golf psychologists who write about the mental game and golf.

The truth is that very few golfers ever spend any time developing their mental skills and there’s no doubt that it is holding you back from hitting better and more consistent golf shots and shooting lower golf scores.

How much easier would it be if you knew what your unique personality style was for learning and performing on the golf course?

If you knew that your particular style meant that you needed to take instruction a certain way as well as the way you play on the golf course?

If you were oblivious to your performance style could it mean that every time you play you are no better off than the last time you played?

That in fact you would never get better at golf because you don’t know what you need to do.

Golf is a game of gross generalisations.

Golf books, golf magazines and other forms of media try to persuade you to go with a popular style that may not be even close to being the best way for you.

This has been a challenge for me for many years up until recently when I came across a golf personality profile that actually got it right.

Someone finally developed a golf personality profile for every golfer that helps you to understand why YOU play golf the way YOU do and how YOU can get better at it by following some simple guidelines.

The profile was developed by Bobby Foster, a management consultant headquartered in Columbia, SC. Bobby is a former teaching professional and golf coach at the University of South Carolina where he coached several All-Americans including four players who played on The PGA Tour.

He is a Certified Behavioral Analyst specializing in the D.I.S.C Behavioral Style Model. He explains the purpose behind the development of the mental golf profile -

“Our company has had great success using DISC profiles in work language to help people improve performance in all types of working environments.

 

Over the years, I’ve often thought about how much better I would have been as a player, instructor and coach if I’d known about the DISC System during that stage of my life.

We built this profile in golf language so that players, instructors and coaches could enjoy the same benefits I’ve seen countless experience with DISC profiles in the workplace.”

The system generates personalized information for working on your mental game just as video and launch monitors produce personalized information for working on your swing and customizing your equipment. The profile works great for self-coaching as well as for collaborating with your instructor or coach.

It’s Quick…It’s Accurate…It’s Comprehensive… “The beauty of this system is that our players get an accurate and comprehensive report without having to spend hours completing a laborious questionnaire. You sure get a lot for the time and money you invest in this process.”
– Dr. Greg Rose, Co-Founder, Titleist Performance Institute
