There are a lot of people who are finding out that they need to have some more fun. It’s really easy to get wrapped up in work and other things, and there is sufficient need for a person to find something that will really help them out in the fun department. Golf is one of those few sports that actually culminate the most out of excitement and relaxation, as odd as it may sound. Many people, who may even thought they wouldn’t like the game, have become huge fans of the sport. A lot of things have to be considered when they are trying to find a great way to enjoy the game, as it is not one that’s specifically known for picking it up and playing. A lot of people have to really think about the things that they buy some golf equipment, and seeing as how it may be a little expensive, they’ll have to really hunt down something that they will really like. Of course, we’re here to help you find something that you’ll thoroughly enjoy.

EFT for Better Golf: Part 4 - Tapping for Golf Success
By now you should be tapping your way to better golf and experiencing how easy it is to use EFT. I’m sure you’re looking forward to get out on the golf course feeling the difference and enjoying better golf.
An EFT for Better Golf story
What sort of success are other people having with EFT? Firstly let’s look at a quote from EFT Inventor, Gary Craig’s - one of many examples on his website. Gary talks about a golfer called Ron Johnson who improved his golf using EFT from scoring around 95-100 to having many rounds in the 70’s. Here’s what Ron told Gary.
“My statements began something like…”even though putting is extremely frustrating, I still completely accept myself.” I would practice on the putting green with 10-twenty foot putts, 10-ten foot putts and 10-five foot putts. Each time, I would go through the nine-step process with the same statement…”Even though these putts are nerve-racking, I still completely accept myself.” I found that I began to feel much more confident over the putts and some actually went in the cup. Three-putts to get the ball in the hole began to disappear and, within three months, my average scores went from 95-100 down to 85-90. I’ve had many rounds in the 70’s during the past year and I am now setting a goal of shooting below 70. The process works equally well with each shot in the game, not just the putter. In fact, I now use the process before beginning the round with the following statements: “Even though I am filled with apprehension on this round, I completely and totally accept myself.”
University Research of EFT for the Yips
There’s a sports psychologist in Tenerife called Lynn Francis who uses EFT to help golfers overcome the yips. I’m not sure whether the yips are worse for a golfer than the shanks I kept talking about yesterday. They both strike fear into the hearts of golfers unnecessarily, as they are “all in the mind” of the golfer and therefore beatable with the likes of golf hypnosis, NLP and EFT.
What’s even more interesting about Lynn is that here approach to “curing” the yips has been researched by Mike Rotheram at the Centre for Sport and Exercise Science at Sheffield Hallam University here in the UK. The final paragraph of his report says it all.
“It is clear that Lynn’s treatment certainly has merit, and her work is based on her skills as a practitioner in finding underlying emotional causes. The benefits of this treatment are not only relevant to amateur golfers. They are also relevant to tour players who experience the ‘yips’ and people in other sports such as darts and cricket. It is possible this treatment may be effective for dentists, artists, and musicians who experience symptoms similar to the ‘yips’. Mike Rotheram is certainly excited as he said, ‘Lynn has stumbled on something here that is potentially ground breaking. This is undoubtedly the most effective treatment I have seen so far. It is now up to the scientific community to put these findings into appropriate research settings. I wish Lynn all the best and I hope we can team up again in the future’.”
You can read Mike Rotheram’s full report at Lynn’s website.
Final Conclusions - EFT is a good supplement to Hypnosis for Golf
So there you have it. EFT is a very useful supplement to the use of hypnosis and NLP in my golf psychology practice and helps people to make profound golf improvement.
Andrew Fogg, the Golf Hypnotist, is an enthusiastic golfer, hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner. He is a practicing golf psychologist and author of a soon to be published book “The Secrets of Hypnotic Golf” and a series of golf hypnosis MP3 programmes.

While the 25 millionth VW Golf rolls out of the assembly line Dietmar Korzekwa, Plant Manager of Wolfsburg plant said: “25 million Golf in 33 years – that is an outstanding achievement of which we can all be proud. 15 million Golf had been built in Wolfsburg alone.

Together, we will continue the Golf success story.”
Bernd Osterloh, Chairman of the Group and General Works Councils also said: “25 million Golf is also a symbol of the extraordinary performance of our colleagues.

Golf and business have always been synonymous. The golf course has long been seen as the place where deals are made and contracts are secured. The internet provides and enormous number of statistics that support this. It is said 80 percent of people that play golf are in decision making positions. Golf is said to improve client retention with companies that use golf as part of the way they do business being 53% more likely to retain 90 percent of their customer base.
Playing Golf with clients is said to help secure business deals. Executives that play golf experience an 85% better chance of securing a business deal on the golf course than through conventional methods of marketing. It is also said that businesses that use golf outings for staff meetings and employee appreciation have 80 percent better employee morale than businesses that use other methods. With these figures in mind perhaps it is time that you considered utilising Golf hospitality.
Corporate Golf Days
Corporate golf days provide a tested formula to guarantee success. Most days start early with tea, coffee and a light breakfast. Then you and your team are likely to gather at the first tee for a team photo before hitting the course. Some golf days include instruction from a golf pro that might take place on the driving range before you tee off or occasionally as a mid-round break.
Depending on the pace of play and the size of your group you may decide to have a light lunch midway through your round. Guests usually join together at the end of the day for a 3 course meal and the presentation of prizes. This can provide an opportunity to reward staff for their performance on the course but also for their efforts in the office. It is often possible to bespoke the day with additional extras such as a company branded signage and scorecards. It will usually cost between 70 and 200 pounds per person.
Spectator Golf packages
Taking your staff or clients to watch a high profile golf tournament can provide a great opportunity to enjoy golf without having to be a prolific player. The highest profile and most prestigious tournament in the UK is the Open. In 2008 it will take place at the Royal Birkdale in Southport, North West England. You will see all the major golf players compete in one of the four major championships.
Golf hospitality packages accommodate any number of guests. The Royal Birkdale has an executive restaurant with tables for 8-12 people. Larger private chalets are available for between 30 and 50 guests. There is also an Open championship restaurant that includes champagne reception, complimentary drink and gourmet food. There is also a number of Sky hospitality boxes that provide panoramic views over the first tee.
For non-golfers
Utilising the golf course does not mean you have to ostracise those employees or clients that don’t want to play. Most golf courses will provide the option for lessons if you are keen to learn or pitch and put if your golfers are after a softer option. Many courses even provide a number of alternatives such as tennis, fishing, clay pigeon shooting, and spa and beauty treatments. This should make it easy to please all members of your group and make sure you have a fantastic time.

Business and golf are synonymous. It is said that 8 out of 10 people that play golf are in a business decision making position and that playing golf with clients offers an 85% better chance of securing a business deal than other conventional methods of marketing or promoting your business. These impressive statistics make a strong case for including golf in your marketing strategy. Corporate golf days can benefit your client acquisition rates, client retention rates and staff morale. So what is involved in a corporate golf day, where can you have a corporate golf day and how much will it cost?
What is involved in a corporate golf day?
Corporate golf days differ from a normal round of golf in that they supplement a normal round with additional extras. Ordinarily a corporate golf day will include company signage as well as personalised and branded scorecards. These give the golf experience a personal touch dedicated to your business. Typically the corporate golf day will also include a scoreboard that enables a large number of players to keep up to date with the scores of the other players in the competition. This provides a touch that is reminiscent of professional golf tournaments and is an effective way of increasing friendly competition between the participating golfers.
The main benefit of a corporate golf day is that the golf course will usually provide staff to organise the day along the lines a professional tournament and create a really memorable event. The whole day can be organised to allow adequate time for a light breakfast, a lesson from a professional, a full round, a three course meal and finally a presentation ceremony. It is therefore an excellent introduction for golfers of all abilities.
Where can you have a corporate golf day?
Corporate golf days can be hosted at many golf clubs across the country. Of course it goes without saying that some courses have more experience delivering golf days than others and it is important to pick one that will be able to achieve what you expect from the day. For example if you want to host a large event with many golfers it is vitally important that the club you choose have the right level of experience in hosting events. It is less important for smaller golf days as these are generally easier to manage. It is also important to be clear with what you expect from the day. For example you may wish to have the event filmed or recorded by a photographer and it is important that you request this in advance.
How much do corporate golf days cost?
There is an enormous range of variables in a corporate golf event and as a result the cost can vary massively. If you are looking to host a top of the range corporate golf day then the price can be as high as you are willing to pay. Conversely if you want a cheap and cheerful event then you can keep costs low by cutting down on the additional extras. Top end packages can cost as much as 1045 pounds per person per day with top end packages starting at around 450 quid. Basic packages can range between 75 GBP and 290 GBP. London and the South East of the UK generally demands higher prices with Wales and the North offering cheaper rates.

Golf holiday algarve :The Algarve in Portugal is one of the most popular golf destinations in Europe. The region enjoys 300 days of glorious sunshine coupled with very pleasant weather.

When it comes to golf breaks away from the UK, there is a new destination that is rapidly becoming highly regarded for European golf holidays - Turkey. With its Mediterranean climate, beautiful coastline and a rapidly growing selection of top quality golf courses, it is hoping to become a genuine competitor with more established destinations such as the Algarve in Portugal.
The majority of the courses are concentrated in and around the resort of Belek, which has been consciously crafted to create a modern day golfers paradise. Located close to glorious beaches in some truly magnificent natural surroundings, this is one of the most visually striking golf resorts in the world, and has won awards for its integration of the golf courses with the natural beauty of the Turkish coastline. But there is more than just good views to a golf break in Turkey - the courses are designed by some of the world’s best, and many of them present a tough challenge to even the most skilled golfers.
Only time will tell whether the Turkish bid to become “the new Algarve” will find success, but if you do decide to head out for a golf holiday in Turkey, here are five of the finest courses to enjoy…
Antalya Golf Club
Antalya Golf Club is one of Turkey’s finest. It features two golf courses - the Sultan and The Pascha - and perilous water hazards dominate both courses. They demand careful play and precise drives, but a golfer who takes up the challenge here will be rewarded with stunning views and a very pleasurable round of golf.
Gloria
Much like the Antalya Golf Club, the Gloria actually contains two outstanding courses for a golf break in Turkey. The Gloria Old is a nine hole academy course running through beautiful pine forests that is a superb place to polish up your game, while Gloria New is a tough and intricate course that might be the best in the country.
Cornelia Golf Club
A particular favourite for more experienced players on a golf holiday in Turkey, the Cornelia Golf Club was designed by Nick Faldo and offers three different 18 hole combinations - the King, Queen and Prince courses. It can be ferociously challenging, but if you can master the course it is a true joy to play.
Lykia Links
Golf courses in Turkey tend to be either parkland courses (such as the Cornelia) or peppered with water hazards (such as the two courses at the Antalya Golf Club), and the Lykia Links is the first true links course in the country, designed by Pete Dye. Golfers here can enjoy the stunning coastal vistas, though the good views come at a price; the unpredictable Mediterranean winds can ramp up the difficulty of this course, but the challenge is part of the experience at Lykia Links.
National Golf Club
The National Golf Club was the first international standard golf course in Turkey, and it still retains its status as one of the finer courses in the country. The beautiful course is a joy to play, and the attached PGA Academy offers expert tuition and practice for players looking to improve their game while on a golf break in Turkey.

The award-winning specialist tour operator is privately-owned and determined to ensure that both experienced golfers and novices can enjoy unforgettable golf holidays in Turkey.
If you want to play golf in an entirely different way, try World Golf Systems. The company had revolutionized golfing greatly. They are the innovators of the popular ID Ball System, which gave rise to the creation of the TopPutt, TopChip, and TopGolf games. The ID Ball System is patented system that puts microchips inside the golf ball in order to track it easily.
In 1997, World Golf Systems was founded. The British company introduced the system in its home country, the UK. Technology has improved greatly over time. Now, their system is being used on the world over.
The aim of the World Golf Systems ID Ball is to boost people’s interest in golf. Before this revolutionary system, golf is a game of the rich and popular alone. Those in the middle and lower classes of the society can only dream of playing golf. And not affording to play is just one of the problems. A lot of people refuse to learn the game because they won’t be able to play it anyway. But through the ID Ball System, golf has become anybody’s game. There are a lot of people who were able to discover the simplicity and excitement of the game. The system had surely made golf accessible to people across all genres.
Through TopGolf, players can enjoy the game fast and easy. They don’t have to go through their equipments. They have to the pay steep membership fees of a golf club either. Unlike online games, you don’t have to content yourself with the images in front of your computer. What they have created is an indoor game of golf, although it is usually played in a driving range.
With TopGolf, you get the chance to hold a real club and try all your learned skills with it. You also get to swing the ball along with the rest of your body. The golf ball you’ll use in the TopGolf game is embedded with a microchip that allows you to hit it on the tee off and record the strength, direction, and speed of the ball accordingly.
TopGolf is a point-driven game and it requires both strategy and accuracy. Players are given points as they hit the microchip-laden ball. Using advanced technology, you’ll know right away how hard you have hit the ball, the distance it flew, and its accuracy towards the target. The points you’ll earn would depend on these parameters.
This is just one version of the World Golf System. There are a whole lot of versions created still. While the system is quite useful, the people behind the idea are currently challenged to combine all the golf techniques in one integrated system. While the World Golf System is very useful, you still need to go to a golf course for a full golf game workout.
Even so, the innovation that World Golf System has brought to the masses is worth raving about. Now, you don’t have to dream about playing golf. You can actually go out there on the World Golf System driving range and have fun.
Whether your taste in golf clothing emulates the colourful choices of Ian Poulter or the more conservative selections of Paul Casey or Monty it will have no effect on your golf game because colour and style of menâs golf clothing is more a stamp of your own personality and it is the functionality of menâs golf clothing that could impact on your game.
Menâs golf clothing must be unrestrictive and allow freedom of movement during a golf game. The smooth flow of your shots should never be hindered by your choice of golf clothes.
Playing golf in the summer months requires menâs golf clothing  to be created from a lightweight material, which not only, allows free movement, but, which wicks perspiration away from the body, which allows the golfer to maintain a constant temperature.
Unfortunately, with our British climate, windproof and waterproof menâs golf clothing could form an essential part of a golferâs wardrobe during the summer months as well as winter months.
During the winter months golf clothes should keep a golfer dry, protected from the elements and, of course, warm. Lambâs wool sweaters, waterproof trousers, jackets and windproof shirts come into their own during the colder golfing months (in the UK, occasionally that could be September through to June). Conversely, a lambâs wool sweater is an ideal garment for summer or winter because it insulates your body, cooling on hotter days and warming on colder ones.
It is important to wear golf clothing made from breathable material, which helps to regulate your temperature. Try playing golf in synthetic materials which are not breathable and you will, quickly, become overheated, start to perspire and as a consequence will suffer from slower circulation which will cause you to tire more easily.
The top names in menâs golf clothing manufacture rigorously test their clothing materials to meet the exacting standards expected of all levels of golfers and incorporate the latest in innovative material technology to ensure that their golf clothing meets or exceeds the requirements for soft, flexible, lightweight, breathable, wind and waterproof golfing garments, that perform in whatever conditions our British weather throws at them.
Whatever your clothing says about your personality Golfbuyitonline, with their extensive range of menâs golf clothing from all the leading brands, is sure to be able to help you get noticed for your cool poise, even if sometimes your own golf game is likely to cause you to get a bit hot under the collar.
