Mental Training events

We plan and carry out Mental Training events, where the participants on the basis of their Personal Golf Profile develop a technical and mental training profile.
We create individual mental exercises, pre-shot routines and game plans for each participant and join you in a 9 or 18 hole mental training-round where we forget all about the score and concentrate on the process instead - which creates the good score. This offer could be used by e.g.:

• Private groups of golfers - with high as well as low handicaps - who strive to get the optimal out of the time and money they spend on golf.
• Men's or Ladie's clubs who organizes the event for their members.
• The Elite-responsible in the sports committee

Duration: From half to 2-3 days for groups of 3 to 8 players.

Experiences using the Golf Profile for mental training

Soeren og Hanne Lynnerup, Kaloe Golf Club, particpants in a 13 hour Mental Golf-school.

"First we would both like to thank you for good coaching. We have developed a fairly different entrance to golf and have some of the basic under control, which might never have occurred considering our age. My conclusion is this:

Even an aging golfer who started a bit late will benefit from such training instead of putting up with bad habits.

Saturday we played a round at Harrevig Golf Club - and it went quite well for both Hanne and I, so we were fit for fight to the Sunday match, but then missed it all after the 8th hole. The positive thing is that we both know the reason for missing results.

Could we include a follow-up round after 2-3 weeks, I think it would be useful."

Torben Nyehuus - Responsible for juniors in Silkeborg Golf Club

"The Golf Profile is an impressive and remarkable tool/method to find the player's strengths and weaknesses. Impressive and remarkable because it gets so close to the truth about the individual player that it's nearly unreal. In golf of today it is an indispensable supplement to improve, raise and direct the player's effort in training and game in the course and this regardsless of handicap and age."

Book reviews

Jyllandsposten June 28th 2003: "In a new and curious way a new this very different Danish golf book complements (above article) in a brilliant way, because it helps the reader understand what goes on inside the mind. This is of course the very point of the book"

"In his book he makes it absolutely clear that it is the mental state that makes the difference between good and less good golf and he since explains some main principles within mental training."

"We have tested the system and must acknowledge that the results are very close."

"It seems to be a fact that the book helps the golfer to map his own strengths and weaknesses."

The Mental Driving Range
Article from the magazine "Dansk Golf" March 2004

“Your personality determines the choices you make on the golf course, just like the choices you make in life: in other words, you make your choices and you limit your choices within the framework of your personality.

Since I am an inveterate golfer, it was quite natural for me to ponder whether this could be applied to golf behavior and used in connection with mental training. Plus, of course, I found out there were four types of golfers.“
