Golf's Secret Weapon is "EFT"
Tony & Molli Rathstone
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple process of
tapping the body in specific areas much like an acupuncturist
would stick needles into you to relieve pain. The difference
being EFT is using acupressure on several specific areas and
combing that with some verbal statements to create the change.
Although the creator of EFT, Gary Craig, has been teaching
people the process for over a decade it has only now begun
to show up in the sports field.
I have played some six 18 hole rounds of golf since the EFT
approach was started. It seems there has been a 33% reduction
in my handicap due to the EFT Techniques. Says Steve Sayre.
His whole story and a slew of others can be found on Gary
Craig's main site emofree.com.

also provides Gary's free E-Book describing the whole EFT
process as well as several descriptions of the actual words
one may use while attempting EFT out on the Golf Course.
Another major impediment to improving one's golf score --
and for some it is the biggest one -- is their golf "comfort
zone." Ask any experienced golfer what they shoot and they
will say something like, "I shoot in the mid-80's." That tends
to define their comfort zone. It is a mental set. It is where
they "belong."
There are many different EFT approaches to golf. Some golfers
will improve their score just by doing some generalized tapping
before the game. Others will need to tap frequently throughout
their round. Some may need to tap on some very specific areas
such as...
- "this feeling in my chest when I Tee off"
- "this inability to focus on my putts"
- "this anger I feel for blowing that last hole"
- "this self doubt when I'm putting"
Interestingly, if you follow most golfers around you discover
that they know how to shoot every shot perfectly. They have,
for example, hit the perfect drive on countless occasions.
They have also hit the perfect 5 iron, made the perfect 5
foot putt and so on it goes. They have the experience and
ability to shoot 5 strokes better (low-70's) than what they
are doing. But they don't. They tend to stay in the mid-80's,
and that's the Comfort Zone.
Comfort zones are very powerful things. We all have them.
If not for golf, then for our income and our social status
and our ability to dance and our educational level. For the
professional and weekend golfer alike, you might wish to include
some "comfort zone breaking" EFT routines. This is essential
for many golfers if their improvement is going to last. They
need to establish a new comfort zone. Try these....
- "Even though breaking ____ seems out of reach...."
- "Even though I fear having a lower handicap because I
will have to maintain it..."
- "Even though someone my age is not likely to shoot below______...."

website owner Tony Rathstone, author of "Golf's Secret
Weapon", says, establishing new comfort zones for golfers
with EFT may well be the simplest process to be brought to
the golf course in at least a century.
