34. Technique equates to about 30% of what the game is about. Sadly many players put 100 % effort into that 30%.

There are an estimated 10 million golfers in the U.K., the majority of whom scan one or more of the many Golfing Publications in the relentless search for Golfing perfection. The Golfing public, it must be said, are very knowledgeable on matters relating to the Technique.

There are however two problems that I see:

Firstly, a player can acquire a lot of knowledge by what they read but knowing what to do, is of no use if you cannot do what you know. The written message, most often is not received as it was intended, through over emphasis and misinterpretation or just poor communication. Golf should never be over intellectualized because it creates unnecessary confusion. Remember that we do not need to know how all the parts of a car work in order to drive it.      
                
The Second problem relates to a very fundamental point. It is generally accepted that the Game is approximately 30% technique;Unfortunately many thousands of players apply 100% effort to just this 30% and sadly miss out on what they can achieve.
Is there any wonder why the world is full of under-performing players?
         
The other 70% of the game is the Psychology department and it is here where golfing dreams are realized and your true performance potential is found. It requires however, reframing and changing a lot of dearly held beliefs to enable the player to move forward. Trying harder with an incomplete / wrong strategy is no use.
