Kuchar, Rose and McIlroy by Dr. Gio Valiante

Gio Valiante con Matt Kuchar

In the September version Dr. Gio has written an interesting article about the mental strengths of two of his clients, Matt Kuchar and Justin Rose, and the world N° 1 Rory McIlroy. All of them will be playing the FEDEX CUP finals at the Tour Championship next week.

One of the key strengths he underlines is Kuchar and Rose´s on course composure, that allows them to rarely lose their cool and quickly "turn the page" when faced with bad shots, bad breaks or mediocre rounds.

He says the same for McIlroy who "bounced back" after his Masters 2011 final round disaster, to win two Majors and several other big tournaments in recent months.

Composure is a key Mental Golf attribute, as anger or frustration on the course will only anchor us to the past. And if we are anchored to the past it only means we are "operating" with our conscious mind, the mind that is bad for playing golf, as it does not allow for the essential mind/body synchronization, key to producing great golf shots.

This is the reason why we will rarely see McIlroy, Rose and Kuchar lose their cool or composure on the golf course.
