"Come, play golf with me my friends. Plus Fours are stylish in my world."

- Robert Gutkin, Golf Professional Hypnotist at Large

"The goal of my lectures are to teach your body to perform what the your intellect already has been taught. I will teach you how to perform the desired movements without conscious awareness."
Robert Gutkin, Golf Professional, New Paltz, U.S.A.

So, you think the game of golf is all about whacking a little white ball around a big rolling green lawn?
Wrong ...

Successful golf is much more than a ball chase, or as Mark Twain acerbically termed it, “a good walk spoiled.” The sport of golf is a uniquely engaging and enigmatic challenge that demands golfers use every part of themselves - bodies and minds, in an integrated way. Working with the concept of mind-body integration is the foundation of gutkin.org teaching methods.

Twenty-first Century sport training is full of new ideas and extremely exciting. The scientific community has become involved in sport training from sport psychologists, Hypnotists and life coaches. Lying within each of us is the potential for great achievements. Cooperation and training of both sides of the brain is the key to peak performance.

Traditional teaching is reliant on the left side of the brain which is linear, analytical and literal; attention is focused on technical, specific body positions which hinders the smooth flow of the golf swing. Traditional teaching methods focus on the physical side while stating the game of golf is 90% mental. Imagine a little league ball player around the age of 11. Further imagine this young playful athlete being told to place their weight on the left side before throwing and to angle their shoulders at 23 degrees for the perfect trajectory. Well, this is how you are being taught to play golf if the instructor is relent on the left brain and only pays a salute to the right brain hemisphere.

gutkin.org is aware of the importance of training both left and right hemispheres of the brain. gutkin.org integrates the left brain (logical information) with the right brain (universal information). gutkin.org works with the right hemisphere and body's intelligence allowing you to perform without conscious awareness. Movements are practiced until a neural network is created in the brain and they become unconscious, effective, motor skills that you no longer need to pay conscious attention to, commonly called "muscle memory". An example of this would be juggling balls: each movement is learned using the left brain to map the pattern and is then done "automatically" using the right side of the brain.

gutkin.org opens up dialogue to discuss the extraordinary potential available to each one of us. Most of the ideas discussed in this guide are applicable in other areas of your life if optimal performance is your goal.
