Golf Coaching

                         Individual and Team Golf Coaching

Improve your golf game with mental training. Learn to increase your focus, concentration, course management, and ability to overcome mental breakdown. Lower your scores by 3 to 5 strokes.

The average handicap has not gone down over the past thirty years, in spite of the superior equipment we have today.  Why? Because most amatuer golfers do not work on their game!  If you want to improve your game, work on mastering your mental game as well as your technical ability.

Dr. Mann specializes in helping golfers of all levels play their best. Golf is a very complicated game that requires both physical and mental skills. Most teaching methods focus upon the mechanics and leave out the most important aspect of the game: the mental/psychological aspects.

The golf swing is very reactive to one's inner thoughts and feelings. In order to play at one's best, the golfer needs to be focused, relaxed, balanced, committed, confident, positive, and emotionally stable.

Sports psychology offers the technology to obtain these goals and develop the mental routines to sustain peak performance.

Typically, negative thoughts, doubt, fear, emotional reactions, and the inability to sustain focus results in distraction and breakdown.

Dr. Mann combines the best of psychological approaches with yogic philosophy, meditation and breathing techniques which help the individual overcome those aspects in the mind and emotions that create fear, doubt, distraction and limited thinking: the precursors to performance breakdown.

Dr. Mann is a certified Golfpsych® instructor, which is the only tour-research based system proven to help professionals play at their best.

Dr. Mann has worked with PGA Teaching Professionals, Professional Tour Players, College and High School Teams and individual amateur golfers of all ages from 6 to 70.

His most noteworthy golf clients include: Lee Brandon (2001 & 2003 Woman’s Long Ball Drive Champion), UCLA Woman’s golf team, UC Davis Men’s golf team, Windward High School golf team, players from the Hooter’s Tour and Men’s Long Ball Drive Competition.

Dr. Mann was a huge part of our success, and has been a great educator for the team and for me as a coach. I am thrilled to report that with Dr. Mann's help, our team, which had not qualified for the National Championship since 1977, not only qualified, but also finished in 5th place. I would recommend him to any golfer that wants to explore some of the deeper mental aspects of golf in hopes to lower their score.

Dr. Mann has developed several teaching aids for the mental aspect of the game:

The Yoga of Golf: A practice teaching aid that explains how to apply the entire system of Raja Yoga to your golf game. It covers everything from philosophy, yoga postures, meditation techniques and breathing techniques to control the mind.

Find the Zone II: Master the Mental Game of Golf: An applied audio CD that uses meditation and self-hypnosis to get beyond the mind and develop a positive mental attitude on the course.

Inspiration for Meditation: An advanced meditation training CD that teaches the control of life force energy and the means to move beyond the distracting thoughts of the mind.

Self Hypnosis for Stress Release: A practice approach to learning self-hypnosis to control tension and emotional reaction.
