Hole in Oneness: A Spiritual Golf Journey: #78. Humming in the New Swing: Tim Gallwey

admin — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 16:27:19 +0000

“The next time you’re on the practice tee, take a few swings and try humming to yourself while swinging. Listen to the humming.

“I hadn’t considered my swing particularly tight, but my humming told me differently. I could actually hear the tightness of my swing in the sound. While I was going back the sound would be nice and smooth, but during the change of direction my voice would become strained, and at contact my throat would constrict and the humming would increase in volume, in pitch, and most noticeably, in tightness. Sometimes, when I really went after the ball, the hum would stop after contact and I would notice that I had also cut off my follow-through. Using a tape recorder, I later recorded the sound of my practice swing and compared it with a recording of a swing at the ball. The increase in tension was painfully obvious.”

While Tiger’s success was the driving force behind the change, the tipping point may have been Ernie Els’ victory in the British Open in 2002. Helped by Jos Vanstiphout, Els cruised to victory at Muirfield, St. Andrews. That spurred changes. Today, more and more sports psychologists are advising golfers about golf’s mental side.

Tom: If you can think your way through it, you wouldn’t have to practice. So, you do then do establish a subconscious level to play golf. You do need to establish some muscle memory. And, you need to use your subconscious to play. Timothy Gallway put it very well in a book called “The Inner Game of Golf.” And, I recommend that to people. Tony: Okay. So, it’s called “The Inner Game of Golf?” Tom: Yes.

It is a lovely course but a round that I would prefer to forget. I have no idea what I shot, suffice it to say that there was not enough space on the card to write my score in. This raises an interesting point in why does this happen in golf and how best does one cope with it. I have been reading a very good book on the mind and golf and how best to make what we have to work best in all circumstances. The book is titled ‘The Inner Game of Golf’ and is written by W. Timothy Gallwey. I highly recommend getting your hands on a copy.

Why good golfers make good managers – Executive Travel Magazine

Tim Gallwey, a former captain of the Harvard tennis team, wrote a series of books in which he described his findings that performance error resulted primarily from “doubt, tension and lapses of concentration.” We are at our most effective and creative in the moment. The moment is what we can impact.

One of the best books to read is ‘The Inner Game’ by Tim Gallwey, he explains in great detail about how our conscious mind-Self 1, fights with our natural ability to hit the ball- Self 2. By confusing Self 1 and keeping it busy we can then allow ourselves to play without interference. One of his best drills is the Back-Hit drill, I have taken this and added a few things to help tempo and retain balance, I call it the back, hit, bounce drill, on your take away say b-a-c-k slowly, where ‘b’ is the start of the backswing and ‘k’ is the top of the backswing, then say ‘hit’ when you hit the ball and then hold your finish until the ball bounces and say ‘bounce’. Saying this out loud at an even, calm voice or even in your mind will turn off the interference from Self 1 and allow you to swing tension free.
