About this title

From the Back Cover

"Be the Target will open your eyes, clear your head, and help your mind and body become one in the act of producing a golf swing that is more effective and consistent." From the Foreword by Bob Toski Armed with the latest golf tip or new technique, most golfers have become preoccupied with actual swing mechanics while on the golf course and are thus focused on hitting the ball. This "hit" impulse-in which the golfer consciously tries to manipulate the club during the swing-often results in inconsistent shotmaking, higher scores, increased anxiety, and slower play. Be the Target shows golfers how to free their minds of scientific, analytical swing thoughts and develop a free-flowing, full- motion swing that instinctively reacts to the target. The clear and simple exercises detailed in this revolutionary book are designed to enhance your awareness of the target picture. You'll learn how to improve visualization and maintain target awareness throughout the entire swing. While emphasizing the differences between playing and practicing golf, Be the Target clearly illustrates in words and pictures how best to do each so that there will be no change in your ability to strike good golf shots when going from the practice tee to the course. Be the Target confirms that it is the "letting go" that creates true golf enjoyment in the form of more consistent shotmaking, lower scores, and freedom from frustration.
