Three eyes in golf

Did you know there are three eyes when you're playing golf? You have your to visualize, and your mental movie I. 

Let's talk about your to visualize first. You're to visualize should be focused on where you want to direct your force. This is usually the back of the golf ball. If you look at the top of a golf ball, you'll probably top it! If you want to hit a low shot look toward the front of the ball and this will usually produce a low stinger type shot.

Next your mental movie I. So if I say the following words, what do you think of? Stop sign… Schoolbus…pink elephant…
Pictures come to mind right? These pictures can help you focus. Not do pink elephants exist? Of course not, but you can imagine one right? Can you imagine a pink elephant with purple polka dotted boxers sitting on top of the flagstick? Your mind is a wonderful tool that needs to be guided.
Try this before every shop in your next round. Focus on the three parts of your visualization: see how the ball is going to fly to the target, its trajectory or height, and it's shape or curve if there's wind or if you're intentionally playing Federer draw that day. 
In the movie "Journey to Utopia," Dr. David Cook made the phrase see it, feel it, trust it .... popular. The simple three stage visualization will clear your mind and get you focused on playing golf, not making a golf swing.

Do not neglect the power of the third eye and golf, and keep those to visualize sharply focused!
