Video Tutorial: Flow State

Written by  Andrew Wild on Thursday, 15 September 2011
One of the ways the Power Tee system can help you is to get you into the flow state. That means when you're at the golf ball, not spending too much time thinking about it.




When I work with golfers, even if they're swinging the golf club well, if they stop over the golf ball for too long and get static, the tension creeps in and then the shot can be a disaster. 

Use the Power Tee to build a good routine, and here's an example of one. 

Set up beside the golf ball for a practice swing. Go ahead and make a fully committed practice swing right the way through to the finish, exactly as you want it to feel. Move forward to the golf ball that's already in position for you and go ahead and copy that golf swing.

When you're watching and enjoying that shot and remembering how that feels, the next golf ball is getting ready for you. While it is, step back and take another practice swing to get it exactly as you want it to feel, and then you're into that flow routine. 

Keep practicing in this way and one thing is for sure: the tension will disappear and your golf game will improve.

Andrew manages all aspects of Sandford Springs including Food and Beverage, Golf, Finance and Memberships.

Andrew originally met the Chairman, Paul Gibbons, when he was an assistant Golf Pro at Reading Golf Club 28 years ago.

Interestingly, 15 years later Andrew was giving Paul a series of lessons, during which he mentioned there was a club in Hampshire which was up for sale. After going to visit the club, Mr Gibbons ended up buying Sandford Springs. 

Andrew joined the company a couple of years later and six years on, he became the General Manager at the club they had first discussed all that time ago.

Andrew has a deep passion for the game of golf, which aids his enthusiasm in all his endeavours at Sandford Springs. Aside from playing, he enjoys simply being around the golf club and takes a great interest in looking after his members.

He believes that the atmosphere at Sandford Springs is second to none and finds it such a pleasure to be involved with the club that, in his own words – "Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work".
