written by Dr. Richard Coop</p>
<p>Psych-Cyb: &#8221; A Boston psychologist now<br />
coaching pro golfers, profiled in Golf Magazine,<br />
says &#8220;By My calculations, the average golfer<br />
spends about 86% of their time doing nothing<br />
but wrestling with their thoughts and emotions,<br />
feeling one way or the another about what is<br />
taking place, feeling exhilaration or anger,<br />
struggling to keep focused, worrying about<br />
what&#8217;s happened or what is up ahead.&#8221;<br />
It only stand to reason that 86% of the<br />
success / failure determination is due<br />
to management of thoughts and emotions,<br />
not swing mechanics or putting prowess.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most golfers lack the consistency needed to have any semblance of a game plan that will work prior to their rounds.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was my pleasure to meet you at this years PGA show. Thank you so much for your help with our custom MEGSA Mats and also introducing me to your new Country Club Elite Mats. As you know we run multiple golf academies and have been looking for an acceptable synthetic hitting turf option for years. I had given up hope until seeing your product. It provides a true feel with true results especially on a &#8220;fat-shot&#8221;. We plan on installing your product at two of our academies this year with more to come. Best wishes for your continued success.</p>
<p>Sincerely,&#8221;</p>

The best thing about the <a title="golf driving mat" href="http://www.realfeelgolfmats.com/golf-driving-mat.shtml">outdoor golf driving mat </a> is that it can be used in your backyard along with <a title="birdie balls" href="http://www.igotthebug.com/birdie-balls-c-27.html">limited flight balls</a> to give you a new style of practice that will certainly help.</p>
