A unique ONLINE profiling system dedicated to HELPING golfers and instructors IMPROVE the mental aspects of playing GOLF!

Improve Your Score:

Use the same profile The Titleist Performance Institute uses with their touring professionals and amateurs of all levels. Discover how your golfing mind works and how to use this information to your best advantage.

This profile puts golfers "inside their own heads" as they gain a clearer understanding of what really goes on in their golfing minds. Pia Nilsson, former Solheim Cup Captain and Annika Sorenstam's mental coach, and Lynn Marriott, a Golf Digest Top 50 instructor, are partners in the firm Vision 54/Coaching For The Future. This is how Pia and Lynn explain the profile system -

"The online process asks players a series of questions that help determine a player's attitudes and behaviors. A detailed report is generated that explains the player's traits for five key areas of the game. The profile then goes a step further by helping players understand how to use and modify these tendencies to gain a mental advantage."

Your personalized profile will detail your mental tendencies in these five key areas of the game:

Preparing For The Round
Mental Tendencies When Playing Shots
Golf Temperament
Course Management And Shot Selection Tendencies
Working Most Effectively With Instructors Based On Your Learning Style

In the first section of your profile, you'll find five pages detailing your mental golf tendencies. To date, test groups - including touring professionals, golf instructors and club players of all levels - have been delighted with the accuracy of their profiles.

After you review your present mental tendencies, you'll find ten pages of mental golf improvement ideas and many of these improvement ideas will be customized based on your DISC style for each area of the game. It is suggested to review all of the ideas and then select a few at a time to incorporate into your practice session and as you play on the course. The ideas are written with the intentions that you can implement them right away.

About The Creator:
The Mental Golf Workshop™ Profile was developed by Bobby Foster, formerly a teaching professional and golf coach at the University of South Carolina. While at South Carolina, he coached in both Men's and Women's NCAA championships. Bobby has spent the last 15 years building a successful management consulting practice and is a Certified Behavioral Analyst specializing in the DISC Behavioral Style Model. He explains the purpose behind the development of the Mental Golf Workshop™.

"My company has had great success using DISC-based work related profiles to help managers, salespeople and others improve their personal effectiveness in all types of working environments. The key to this success is that profile information is based on a person's own responses to a questionnaire and the information produced is personalized. People tend to be more open-minded towards information based on their own input than they are with evaluations based on others' opinions. Most people are interested in self-discovery processes, and profiles are great self-discovery learning tools.

"I built the golf profile system so that golfers and golf instructors could enjoy the same benefits we've experienced with work related profiles. I wanted to build a profile system that would give golfers a framework for understanding the "whats and whys" of their mental golf traits, and our DISC based golf profile does just that. I also wanted to provide improvement ideas tailored to each person's individual golfing personality and ideas they could implement right away.

"Far too often, golfers improve their ball striking and short game abilities by practicing and working with instructors, but these improvements don't carry over to the golf course. Most players realize this problem is "in their heads," but they don't really know where to start in improving their mental games. Our profile puts golfers "inside their own heads" and they gain a clearer understanding of what really goes on in their golfing minds.

"Touring professionals work with sports psychologists and coaches on the mental aspects of their games but most golfers don't have those opportunities. Our profile enables golfers to coach themselves and also equips golf instructors to better understand the minds and learning styles of each student.”
