In October, 2010 I attended a conference in Dallas, along with many of the top golf instructors in North America.One presenter at the Dallas Teaching Summit in October 2010, was the short game guru Stan Utley. Author of The Art of Putting, and The Art of the Short Game, Utley has become one of the top short game teachers on the PGA Tour.

Another  speaker at the teaching conference in Dallas was Rick Jensen, a sport psychologist `who works with 50 top tour players, who have combined won 33 majors. His opening statement was a bombshell. Addressing many of the world’s finest teachers he started with `The business you all are in, golf instruction, is BROKEN’.

In October, I attended a conference for teachers and coaches in North America. One of the keynote speakers was Chuck Cook, a  PGA teaching professional from Texas.  Mr. Cook has been a top teacher for many years; his students include Payne Stewart and Tom Kite.

Systems theory is relatively new, as science goes. It deals with large organizations, such as galaxies, to small ones, like atoms, and everything in between. Individuals, tribes, fortune 500 companies, and even golf games can be included in the principles of this discipline. Buckminister Fuller and Margaret Meade were very influential in bringing Cybernetics and Systems Theory to the common man.

Re: Open Focus
I'm delighted to hear about your project. The mental game of golf needs more than `lucky to be having a good day', it needs an ongoing practice.

Stay amazed,

Ed
Re: Open Focus and peak performance
Ed,

Thank you so much for the link to the research study. This is fantastic!

This is fantastic. Last year Penny Pulz was a guest on one of our monthly "Open Focus Teleseminar" events. We're busy lining up our guests for 2012. You may be hearing from us!

Best, Louise
Re: Open Focus
Hi, Louise; the link to the study: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10413200902795323

It is in the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology
Volume 21, Issue 2, 2009, and the article is called:
Effects of Attentional Focus on Skilled Performance in Golf

When I first read it there was no charge, now it's $36!

Mr. Fehmi's book is fantastic, I have recommended it to many of my students. It is an inspiring work, surprisingly close to my experience since 1974 through vipassana meditation.

Through a series of events I had access to a neurofeedback/EEG machine in my golf Studio for two years, but it was out of my area of expertise so I stopped using it. I do know of Penny Pulz's work, but have not met her.

My direction at this point is combining mindfulness practice with golf.

Keep up the good work spreading Mr. Fehmi's work. Ed Hanczaryk
Re: Open Focus
Hi Ed,

Can you tell me more about the study in Wales you mention?

Do you by chance know 2 time LPGA champion Penny Pulz? She incorporates Open Focus attention and awareness into her coaching [http://www.pennypulzgolf.com/]

I produce Teleseminars and events for the researcher who developed the theory and practice of Open Focus, Dr. Les Fehmi. He's co- author of a book called "The Open Focus Brain: Harnessing the Power of Attention..." He's a dedicated golfer, as well.

Thanks ever so much.
