Great Think Workshops

Achieving Success in Golf ... And Life!

Self-talk, self-image and course management are to your mental game what grip, alignment and posture are to your physical game.

The more solidly you build these starting points, the greater your chances of success and the more you’ll enjoy playing golf.   

One way to develop those golf psychology skills is to participate in our group workshops which are affordable to almost everyone ...

The complete Great Think Workshop is a series of three interactive sessions that will help you establish rock solid golf psychology fundamentals. Each one is two hours in length. They’re not only fun, they’re based on research so you’ll learn the ‘what’ as well as the ‘why’ behind an ideal mental game for golf and for life.

Workshop #1 – Great Beginnings

Start out on the right foot by learning what it takes to get yourself into the 'Zone'. You’ll learn why that should be your ultimate goal and how to make all of your skill development dovetail toward that end.

In this session you'll learn:

the eight skills you need to get into the zone 
how your perceptions affect your performance 
the keys to Jack Nicklaus's self-talk success

Workshop #2 – Be a Kid Again

Children develop quickly because they absorb information like a sponge. But adults can learn and develop quickly too if they maintain an openness to experience. We’ll show you how to prevent the interferences that get in the way of learning so you can excel as quickly as a child again.

In this session you'll learn:

why and how Tiger hits so many creative shots 
the secret to maintaining child-like enthusiasm game after game 
how to get rid of your bad habits and make a fresh new start

Workshop #3 – Making It Stick

The challenge for anyone learning new skills is to resist the tendency to revert to ingrained patterns. We'll show you how to use reinforcement techniques to nuture good habits while eliminating bad ones. So whether you want to hit a new type of shot, have better rhythm or improve your competitive performance, you’ll learn what it takes to make your great beginnings stick.

In this session you'll learn:

how the pros use feedback and how you should too 
how to use stimulus and response to your advantage 
how to build long-term reinforcement into your improvement program

Walker's Winning Workshop ...

I used several of your techniques today. I visualized how someone I respected would hit a certain shot and tried to hit it that way. When I was faced with a chip onto the green I asked myself how I needed to hit it to get it close to the hole rather than saying "don't leave it short."

I calmed myself down after breaking my personal record on the front nine and when I tripled bogeyed the 11th hole, I let it go and focused on the next shot.

Implementing these ideas helped me come back from a 9 stroke deficit and win, for the 1st time, our ladies club championship.
