RSS FeedAfter watching Rory McIlory absolutely dust the field on Sunday at the Qual Hollow Championship, I asked myself if I had ever seen a better round played. A few come to mind from Tiger Woods but other then that, there aren’t many. David Duval shot a 13 under par 59 in the final round at the 1999 Bob Hope Classic.
Both of these rounds and players share a common thing and that is, they were both “in the zone” during their rounds. Each shot they played was executed perfectly and they were only thinking about shooting low rounds. Both players also mentioned that they had no idea how many under par they were. This is a great lesson to just learn to let go and forget your score on each hole and just hit the best shot you can.
So what is being “in the zone” and how you can get there? Almost every athlete who tries relaying to others just what exactly they were thinking about while in the zone, can’t really remember. I have had a few good rounds were I was in the zone and from my experience, it’s SIMPLY thinking about nothing while being confident, trusting and at peace. You will unconsciously fall in and out of the zone without knowing if you are playing a really good round. Be sure to joke around or smile and take some time to look around and enjoy your surroundings. This keeps your vibe positive and makes sure you aren’t too serious out there.
How can you GET into the zone? Being in the zone will just happen out of nowhere after you string together a few good swings. Your confidence will grow and you’ll only be thinking about hitting great shots. Gaining confidence in your swing will come down to practice which will help get your swing to repeat itself through muscle repetition. It will also come down to you knowing what it is you must do to swing the club properly. If you have no idea what the difference is between your good shots and bad shots, then you will struggle to improve your swing. You must be able to differentiate the good and bad swings so you can fix your swing as soon as possible after a poor one.
Once you figure out what goes into you making a good swing and practice plenty, getting into the zone will become much easier!
