Watching the film Happy Gilmore recently , the golf comedy with angry golfer Adam Sandler , who finds his best golf from his "happy place" where the thoughts and visualisation of "happy things" put him the RIGHT STATE to play his best golf (and win the tournament & girl!) Watching the movie reminded me of a quote from Seve's book , where his caddie was asked what he (Seve) could do better?
"Smile More , you play better when you do!" this was an honest observation where his caddie had noticed that Seve had played better & won more when he was more relaxed and connected to the game & the spectators..(the better seve played the caddy earned more!)
The concept is a simple but powerful one - if you are happy & relaxed you will be able to access more of your resources then if you are angry or frustrated .
As performance coach Anthony Robbins noticed , our Emotional state & Physiology are directly linked & by decided to smile , the muscles in our face (linked to our nervous system) tell our brain to relax & have fun..
Relaxed muscles = smoother & more powerful movement and tempo = better shots
The Outcomes you can Expect if you decide to smile & enjoy the game
Score your best score everytime? No .. but Better Scores more often
Be World no1 in next few weeks? No , but you will enjoy better golf & more fun..
