EFT Golf Lesson: How To Improve Hitting Distance
Here is a step-by-step EFT exercise you can try out next time you’re out on the driving range. This exercise gives you a sample of how to apply EFT to your golf practice.
If you have never tried EFT before, all you need to do is familiarize yourself with the EFT Tapping Points, before you begin the exercise. Click Here for an EFT Tapping Points Diagram.
Step 1: Pick out 4 clubs of your choice (number and kind of club) that are meant to send the ball different distances. Step2: Hit four balls with each club and rate the success of each stroke. You may give each stroke a rating out of 10 or use subjective descriptions such as ‘good’ ‘really good’ ‘average’ ‘poor’ ‘completely off’ etc. Record your outcomes. This is to establish your baseline, so that you can compare your success ‘before EFT’ and ‘after EFT’Step 3: Decide what you would like to improve, perhaps by looking at your weakest point. I will use the following example, (use your own or follow along with this one). Let’s say you have decided you would like to improve your stroke by ‘hitting it straight and far’.Step 4: Tap along to this script. Start by rubbing the ‘tender spot’ on your chest, repeat the following statements.
‘Even though I have this tension about hitting the distance, I deeply and completely accept myself’
‘Even though I have this tension about hitting the distance, I choose to hit the ball straight and far’
‘Even though I have this tension about hitting the distance, I choose to stay calm, relaxed and focused’
Now follow the script below and tap from the eyebrow EB to the under arm UA point, completing 2 rounds. At each point repeat the phrase ‘this tension about hitting the distance’. Continue with a further 2 rounds of positive affirmations. Begin now with round 1 as follows.
Round 1
EB: this tension about hitting the distance
SE: this tension about hitting the distance
UE: this tension about hitting the distance
UN: this tension about hitting the distance
CH: this tension about hitting the distance
CB: this tension about hitting the distance
UA: this tension about hitting the distance
Round 2
EB: this tension about hitting the distance
SE: this tension about hitting the distance
UE: this tension about hitting the distance
UN: this tension about hitting the distance
CH: this tension about hitting the distance
CB: this tension about hitting the distance
UA: this tension about hitting the distance
Round 3
EB: I hit the ball straight and far
SE: I hit the ball straight and far
UE: I hit the ball straight and far
UN: I hit the ball straight and far
CH: I hit the ball straight and far
CB: I hit the ball straight and far
UA: I hit the ball straight and far
Round 4 EB: I am calm, relaxed and focused
SE: I am calm, relaxed and focused
UE: I am calm, relaxed and focused
UN: I am calm, relaxed and focused
CH: I am calm, relaxed and focused
CB: I am calm, relaxed and focused
UA: I am calm, relaxed and focusedTake a deep breath.Step 5: Now hit the 4 balls again with each club. With each new club you may repeat the EFT sequence. Record your outcome as you did previously, evaluating each shot again. You may also include a quick round of ‘I am calm, relaxed and focused’ before each ball, if you feel your nerves or tension rising before the shot.
Step 6: Compare your scores! Did you notice an improvement? Did you feel more calm and relaxed? Ask yourself again, what was my weakest point this time and use that for your next round of tapping.
Incorporate this exercise regularly into your practice, each time tapping on an area of weakness you have identified, followed by a round of tapping for your desired outcome and improvement level.
Enjoy and good luck from the EFT4Golf Team!
