With The Lefkoe Method For Improving Your Mental Game You Will Lower Your Handicap By 2 To 4 Strokes

Dear Golfer,

You and I both know that no one can promise you that you will play like Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods.

But there is a way for you to play the game of golf well and do so consistently, so that you play at your best almost all the time and enjoy the game more than you have in years.

My name is Morty Lefkoe and if you'll give me just a few minutes of your time, I'll show you how The Lefkoe Method of improving your mental golf game (TLM) can help you lower your handicap by 2-4 strokes.

>> Eddie Heinen The Lefkoe Institute has dramatically changed my approach to each shot and the improvement in just a few short months is amazing.  By eliminating limiting beliefs formed from years of playing golf and from other experiences, I now approach every shot without any thoughts of the past or the future. I am thinking only of the shot I am about to make. The “little voice” in my head has stopped. This allows my natural abilities to come out and my scores now better reflect my potential. Since our initial meeting I have seen almost a two stroke improvement in my competitive round average and now hold an Asian PGA Tour Card. Something I never had achieved in four years of competition. Working with Morty is a must for any serious golfer, especially those wishing to get to the next level. Eddie Heinen Asian PGA Tour Player

Are You Just One Tip Away From A Better Golf Game?

I don't think so.

You see golf is a physical game. It is NOT a mental game, despite the widespread myth that it is. Most golfers have made golf a mental game … and that's the problem. They've turned a physical activity into a mental activity.

Let me explain. You make golf into a mental game because you let your mind interfere with the physical processes of keeping your head down, holding the clubs, swinging the clubs, etc… That's why more tips don't help. In fact they often confuse.

Neuroscience studies have shown that when learning a new physical skill we do need to think about what we are doing and so we use a specialized part of the cerebral cortex (the thinking brain) to figure things out.

However, once a new skill is learned we rely on the cerebellum to actually use it.

(For further explanation, please click here.)

At this point increasing activity in the cortex actually interferes with performance.

In other words—once you learn a new skill, thinking about what you are doing gets in your way.

The biggest problem for most golfers is that their muscles tighten up. This tightness can be major or minor but the result is the same—the tightness interferes with the physical actions you've practiced so hard to learn.

And what causes this muscle tightness?

Thinking.

And unfortunately it only takes a small blip on your mental radar screen to cause muscle tension.

You might be like many golfers who believe negative thoughts are the real problem. So the solution is to think positive.

Unfortunately this is wrong.

You don't want “better” thoughts, you want NO thoughts.

When Bobby Jones was asked how many thoughts he had just prior to swinging he said,

"If I have two swing thoughts, I have no chance at all. If I have one, maybe I'll have a good shot. If I have none, then I can play like Bobby Jones."

So then how do you stop the thinking that gets in your way?

That's where The Lefkoe Method, a set of techniques I developed over 20 years ago can help.

It helps you to eliminate the sources of any thoughts you have while you play—positive or negative—so that you can play with a quiet mind and let your body hit the ball with no interference from your conscious mind.

How We Help You Lower Your Handicap

When you first speak with me I will dialogue with you to find out exactly how your mind is interfering with your golf game. I call this a mental pattern.

Here's how I help you find the mental pattern. I'll ask you what part of your game is not working and other questions to help you find out how your mind is contributing to your golf problem. If you are having trouble putting, for example, we might discover that you have the belief, “I'm lousy at putting.” When you discover your belief it will seem like a fact to you, but it's not. You may not have putted well in the past. That's a fact. But the idea that you will never putt well in the future is a belief that can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You may find that certain things make you anxious, for example, what others think of how you are playing, missing an “easy” shot, or approaching the green. This anxiety may cause you to play poorly in these situations.

However, the biggest problem for most golfers is the “little voice” that constantly judges and criticizes. It says:

“How could you be so stupid?”

“Why can't I do what I did in practice?”

“Why did I use that club on the last hole?”

“They'll never want to play with me again.”

“I'm not really a good golfer.”

“I'll never get better.”

“Just concentrate and you'll be okay.”

“I should have known better.”

“Will I play well today?”

Second, I help you to find beliefs that are causing your mental patterns. When you find the beliefs you'll be able to see exactly how they are impacting your game. You might say to yourself, “Of course I would worry about my swing with that belief.”

For example, if every time you play well you feel that you can't sustain it, that it's a fluke, you might believe "If I'm playing well, it probably won't last," which causes you to lose your focus and may even cause you to get nervous, making it harder to control your swing.

Third, I use our belief elimination process to help you remove the beliefs from your mind.

I know that this is hard to believe but our client success stories show that this truly works.

Fourth, you have to actually get on the course and play to see if you have gotten rid of every aspect of the mental pattern you were working on.

Fifth, we help you evaluate your performance on the golf course to see if the mental pattern, and its impact on your golf game, is gone.

For example if we were working with your tendency to doubt yourself when you are playing at your best, as in the example above, we would simply ask if you continued to feel this way in those situations. If the tendency is less frequent or less intense than it was before, we know that we have only handled part of the pattern and we return to step one of The Lefkoe Method. If the tendency is totally gone, we move on to another behavior you want to change or another aspect of the “little voice” conversation.

Here's how the five steps worked for one of my recent clients.

In our first session my client said, “I usually putt short. I'm afraid of hitting the ball too hard on the putt and going past the hole. My 'little voice' is constantly worried about what others in my foursome will think if I hit the ball past the cup.”

I asked him what he believed that could explain both his behavior and what his “little voice” was telling him. At first he had no idea, but after a few directed questions he found the answer. "If I hit the ball past the cup it means I'm klutzy and uncoordinated." Also, "If I don't play well I'll be rejected and if I play too well I'll be rejected."

Using The Lefkoe Method he eliminated these beliefs in less than 30 minutes. A week later he called for his session. “How is your putting game?” I asked him. “Well, I only played one round of golf this past week and my number of putts during the round were what I usually do. But I was hitting the ball solidly and was not worried about how I look or what people will think.”

A couple of weeks later he sent me an email right after coming off the course: “I am completely certain that your work has made an appreciable difference in my game.... especially in the putting arena.  I am playing with more confidence and less chatter and emotionality. “

No More Anxiety When You Play

Relaxation Replaces Anger And Frustration

End Habitual Hooks And Slices

We've found the true cause of "hooks" and "slices" for people who've learned how to swing well in practice--and it's not bad technique or poor concentration.

If these were your real problems you would NEVER swing the club well, not even in practice. So then why do you swing worse in play than in practice?

The answer: doubt, confusion and anxiety.

Doubt about whether your swing technique is right or not.

Confusion about what went "wrong" on the last shot.

And anxiety about whether it will happen again.

However, the cause of doubt, confusion and anxiety on or off the golf course is a set of beliefs.

The Lefkoe Method helps you get rid of these beliefs. Examples are "Mistakes are bad", "If people see me make a mistake, they'll think I'm stupid" and "Since I've screwed that one up before I'll probably screw it up again."

When these and other similar beliefs are eliminated you will swing with confidence, let go of bad shots quickly, enjoy lower scores and most importantly…

…enjoy actually playing the game.

Stop The Yips Cold

Tension and fear influence the golf swing [by causing] golfers [to] change their rate of acceleration on the downswing. … On the full swing we call this trying to 'steer' the ball or 'holding on' too long. … When golfers feel fear over a putt, deceleration manifests itself in the form of a 'jabbed' putt along with a slight flinch of the eyes and slight movement of the head (which influences direction and line).
