by James H. Grubbs (Author)
In Emotions, Luck, and the Myth of Momentum, the second volume in his The Golfing Brain series, psychiatrist and golfer James H. Grubbs once again draws from the latest brain science to offer new insights on what works (and what doesn't work) in the quest for successful golf.
If it's common knowledge that our unconscious mind "runs the show," asks the author, why would a golfer use conscious techniques to overcome unconscious obstacles to good golf? He explains why techniques such as previsualizing good shots, "faking it till you make it," or trying to suppress fear and anxiety can undermine performance in golf rather than promote it. This book also explores:
- confidence versus certainty
- the influence of luck
- the interplay of emotions during competition
- the myth of momentum in golf
