Golf

When you play the game of golf, you've probably been told that it's a mental game. Would you believe that some subscribe to the theory that golf is 90% mental. If that's the case, then why are people practicing their swing or buying new gadgets to improve their physical game? They should be exercising that big fat muscle in their head called the brain. You've probably heard that many of the PGA professional tour players are hiring pros for that very thing….mental toughness. So why couldn't the average joe do the same? Well for one reason, these notable psychologists that tour players hire are not too affordable. Some players pay them $400-$1000/hr for such consultation.

There is a solution for us normal folk. It's called Pro Mental Coach, and it is the latest in gadget news and offers some of the same top-dollar advice at a sliver of the cost. Pro Mental Coach is a program created for golfers of all skill levels to help them play better, enjoy the game better, and manage tough times better. You can download it to your computer for $139.95, (or buy the CD-ROM for the same price). Powered by Dynamic Intelligence, it is engineered to deliver maximum results in minimum time: three 20-minute sessions a week are recommended.Read more
