ArnoldPalmer won sevenmajor championships
and obviously knew a thing or two about
performing under pressure.
When I asked Mr. Palmer what he thought
of when he stood over the ball, his simple
response was
Nothing
, he just swung the club.
That is exactly what the all-important
Step 5
requires, thinking about, absolutely nothing
and trusting your swing.
Regardless of what you may have heard, when
it is time to execute your shot, all conscious
thoughtmust be completely gone.Not one swing
thought, not one ANT (or negative thought), no
thought of score, no thought of what you did
on this hole last time and certainly no thought
about your opponent or the weather. You simply
swing the club
thinking
about
Nothing
.
This takes time,
practice and ef-
fort, but it is the
only way to play the game.
Mr. Palmer also shared the importance of mak-
ing eye contact with strangers and writing your
name legibly (every time), but his response
of thinking
Nothing
over his shots, stood out
more than anything!
To start playing your best, take it from the
King:
Think of NOTHING before and during
every shot.
