In the meantime, remember YOU CANNOT MAKE YOURSELF CONCENTRATE. You can't just squint real hard and furrow your brow to concentrate. Telling yourself to concentrate doesn't work either. In fact, this kind of mental chatter just interferes with concentration. You simply can't force concentration to happen on the golf course, or anywhere else. It doesn't work that way. In fact, just the opposite is true. It is a process that you let happen, rather than force. You slip into it, and acheive it by "not-trying" to do anything at all.

The prerequisite to concentration is relaxation. So, you relax first, then allow your concentration to slowly grow from a clear and empty mind. Concentration is natural and easy, but only when you have changed from a conscious thinking state, to a state of pure, empty Awareness. Here you are both relaxed, yet alert, and your brain starts producing what are known as Alpha Brain Waves (10-14 hz). When in the alpha brain wave state golf concentration comes naturally and easily.

That is the key to golf concentration, to put yourself into the relaxed alpha state, then focus on the totality of the "game". Don't focus on winning, the score, "hitting" the ball, fixing an error, or worst of all, trying even harder than before. Chances are you'll just get tense, your concentration will worsen, you'll miss more shots than before, and your frustration will grow. Instead, chill-out, be aware of the beauty of your surroundings, the golf course, focus on the target, your next shot, the anticipated flight path, the rhythm of a swing, the feel of striking the sweet spot, etc.

Don't think about concentration to acheive it, instead let go, feel and observe. There are many techniques to do this, and in this web we'll share a few.
