Mental Game Coaching

elonergan — Tue, 24 May 2011 23:22:14 +0000

The Bay Club at Mattapoisett is conducting a series of interactive workshops this spring and summer focusing on developing the golfer’s mindset for optimal performance. These sessions will be led by Dr. Adam H. Naylor, a sport psychologist from Boston University, who has worked with professional and amateur athletes from many arenas.

Dr. Naylor will be providing mental coaching in a variety of forums throughout the season. Each session will be conducted either on the course, range or short game area. In one workshop, The Body->Mind Connection participants will meet at the Driving Range and explore how the body’s responds to stress and how this influences good swings and putts. Each golfer will learn about his/her optimal energy levels for solid swings. Another workshop being held at the Driving Range is Routine Reconstruction. The pre-shot routine is the anchor that keeps one’s game steady throughout the course of a round. Too often routines are built without purpose, being filled with superstitions and random actions. This workshop will highlight the value of having a consistent and purposeful pre-shot routine.

The Bay Club at Mattapoisett is a country club with an eighteen hole championship level golf course and residential property located in Southeastern MA. To arrange a private tour please contact Dave Andrews via e-mail or phone, 508-758-9543.

Golf Exercise of the Month

elonergan — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:59:01 +0000

Dave Maloney, Fitness Director, Bay Club at Mattapoisett offers this months golf exercise of the month, “Spine Angle Turns”.

One of the most common swing faults shared by inconsistent golfers is coming out of your spine angle or loss of posture.

1) Place one of the padded bars behind your upper back so it is crossing your shoulder blades.

2) Now maintain your spine angle while you are turning into your backswing.

If you are coming out of your posture, the padded bar will be almost parallel to the ground at the top of your backswing.

The Mental Golf Workshop™ Profile is now available through Dave Maloney, Head Fitness Professional at the Bay Club.

His coaching career included both Men’s and Women’s NCAA championships.

Bobby has spent the last fifteen years building a successful management consulting practice and is a Certified Behavioral Analyst specializing in the DISC Behavioral Style Model. Bobby explains, “I built the golf profile system so that golfers and golf instructors could enjoy the same benefits we’ve experienced with work related profiles. I wanted to build a profile system that would give golfers a framework for understanding the “what’s and why’s” of their mental golf traits, and our DISC based golf profile does just that. I also wanted to provide improvement ideas tailored to each person’s individual golfing personality and ideas they could implement right away”.
