NO GOLF?

Here in Spain, there is no golf.

Nowhere to hit balls (legally) and I’ve never wanted to visit a range more in my life.

It feels like back to the days when I used to always have my clubs in the car, just in case I drove past a golf range.

Now I’m here thinking of all the crazy things I was gonna do and didn't get round to before the lockdown.

One of those things was to build an indoor studio in the under-build.

Simply, just a mat, nets, scaffold poles. Imagine being stuck in the house with that. My hands may have been sorer than a teenage boy locked in his room.

Anyway, when it comes to golf, If your course is still open and you are getting to play take this one piece of advice.

Maybe don’t leave your clubs in the locker (if you have one), because at some point clubs may worry about guidelines laid down by the Government, all it takes is one having a bit of squeaky bum time about getting sued at a later date, causing them to do more than reduce the distance between players.

They may stop you entering the facilities and you may not be able to get them for a while.

Meaning, not being able to do some damage indoors like me, (it’s all tiled floors out here which makes hitting anything fat that little bit worse).

Remember Unbreakable Golfers Rule 3, “Only focus on what you can control”.

Well what you can control now is the actions you take to be prepared for what’s going on, and how you will show up when it’s all over.

If you can’t get to play golf you might have to focus on your body and reap the rewards in your golf swing when you can later.

I’ve never seen so much online fitness offers in my life, it may probably change the way the entire world looks and takes action on looking after themselves, as more and more people have to move their business online to keep going.

There could be some very valuable content out there for FREE as more and more people panic throwing plans, and systems together at the last minute.

As for the online GolfMob it took years to put together and was finished way before any crisis going on.

FREE, I’m afraid not. The fact is it works like nothing else I’ve seen and a program this hard that gets golfers fit and adds distance requires some type of investment to stay committed.

It was free once, for the first 30 days when it first got launched as doing so allowed me to find and fix any issues that come up before the full launch.

If you want a FREE 30-day program Facebook is blowing up at the moment.

But, if you have time on your hands and want a proven system not created overnight, then the hard work needed for the GolfMob might be what you are looking for.

Anyway Stay Strong

PS. Talking of FREE offers I do have one cooking up with PGA Pro James Skelton, and don’t let the free part of this full you. It’s very valuable and will form part of a paid program we are cooking up.

You have to be over 50 and allow us to use the content as part of the program.

Dude... What-appened, Mega-manflu

Who would-ave thought that a “steroid injected man flu” would spend so long in the gym pumping iron that it could be strong enough to shut the world down..

Generally what I think about the 24 hours news cycle is that “it’s toxic and should be avoided at all costs” (and my recent constant checking of facebook groups have impacted my production), but I seriously underestimated this “mega-manflu” the way I underestimated Tyson Fury.

How?

Well, when this first kicked off my thinking was it’s just an overreaction and it’s just filling the void of the Brexit scaremongering that had been going on.

Plus I’m more laid back then most and think most people overreact about pretty much everything. That and the fact I’m just a monkey that found a razor.

But shxt got real really quickly...

The way it went down here in “The Spain” was first,

close schools, then

close bars and restaurants, and finally

close everything, pull the shutters down and tune into Netflix. (or go on facebook and rant where you also get to see everyone now doing online training).

Which in theory will make everyone super fit and healthy as they now have no excuses, like time and access to information.

Well... Maybe not because when people lose their daily routine they fall back into sedation.

They start their day by eating the types of food you have at xmas,

They take ages to get going in the morning,

They spend far too much time on their phone,

This leads to building bad habits rather than good ones..

Here’s a suggestion,

* set an alarm, get up the same time as usual,

* hydrate (have a pint of water to earn your morning tea or coffee) stay off the news or social media for 1 hour.

* Plan your day and get clear on what you want to achieve for that day.

* Take action.

If that action is hitting the golf ball further while you can’t get to the golf course then I have just the thing.

It will build you new habits, a better body for golf and when you get back on the course you will hit it further, but a warning...

It requires doing work daily. If you are someone who can’t do that then the Online GolfMob is not for you.

However, if you feel now is the right time to change your old limiting habits and beliefs then click the link below for more info.

Unbreakable Golfers Rule Number 7

Be ruthlessly committed to the plan, 

"You don't get what you want, you don't get what you deserve, you don't get what you need, you only get what you are ruthlessly f*cking COMMITTED to"
Garret J White.

Waking up and aimlessly just getting through the day was what I used to do. 

The alarm goes off or the kids wake you up first, and it would be a case of just another day of work to get through. 

Busy, but not getting anywhere.

Putting out fires all day and then wait for the day to finish, but… 

That's not growing that is just existing, and we are happiest when MAKING progress. 

Do you have a plan?

A strategic, well thought out "Hannibal cigar smith" plan that you have a reason to stay committed to. 

Here’s the best bit, “IF” you stay committed to that plan (and check in's to see if you are on course)

It's impossible to NOT make progress.

You can walk a marathon by just taking steps and head in the right direction. (your time would be awful but you’d get it done)

Staying committed to the plan is the hard bit though aint it fella.

How can you stay consistent, especially when every one around you isn't committed to doing anything other than getting through the day. 

How many people do you know that have a target, a plan and stay consistent to it. 

Heres a little secret "just showing up each day however little is an easy way to stay consistent".

Let's say you decide to work on your putting stroke (I know I need to), you plan to hit 3 Putts in your living room every day.

it would take you maximum of 5 minutes (that includes getting the putter, finding the right golf ball)

How good would you be in a year if you done that EVERY day.

But what happens is you will start to believe your thoughts of:

”This isn't doing anything”,

”Not a real green so doesn't count”

”It's not working” and then you.....

Stop, 

Give up and look for something else to try to get the same result until you stop doing that.

You don't even believe that you gave up, you just miss one day and then never start again. 

Here’s an idea why not just stop stopping.. 

Why not have a plan that you can follow every day regardless of how you feel or how busy you are and just stay consistent to it. 

If you know the night before, what you have to do the next day, it makes things so much simpler. 

Set targets, stay consistent, stop stopping. 

If you want a simple plan that works on and off the golf course then this training I put together for the Kent golf team might work for you, if….

You can be consistent, can follow a plan and can think for yourself.

Baileys and Cherryade.

Not sure if you remember some of Delboy (from Only fools and horses) drinks but one of them was, 

Bailey’s and Cherryade. 

Taking two completely different things and merging them to get a result.

I have no idea what Baileys and Cherryade would taste like but I imagine it would seem odd. 

It got Delboy what he wanted, to stand out and be different. 

In golf, everyone just does the same stuff, and you know exactly what I’m talking about. 

In fitness, people will try some crazy stuff just to stand out and to try something different. 

But really,  it's all about the "right" result. 

A big problem most golfers have is they make the same mistakes not just in golf but in whatever it is they are trying to get better at. 

One of those problems would be doing the same thing over and over and over again, and getting the same mediocre results and then blaming it on the wrong thing. 

And this can cause you to lose motivation and repeat that pattern in everything else you do. 

You lack the energy to be on point for your business as well as your family, and can blame one for being the reason (or the excuse) that you can't get the desired result you want in the other. 

What would be possible for you if you were to finally sort that out, finally find a way to know what the biggest issue is and fix the shit out of it. 

And, if you can find something that also helps your golf and makes you actually perform better then, get cracking my son.

As luck would av-it the online Golfmob not only teaches you how to find your biggest limitation but it also lays out the simple plan to fix it. 

The February sign up is fast approaching, 

If you are interested in fixing this, then go here.

Unbreakable Golfers Rule 10

"Keep score on what YOU can control"

Here's a little secret...

Keeping score is the most important thing a man can do...

Why?

I am about to tell you but before we go into that let's see if you remember a few things,

When we were kids (and I use WE as me and you fella) we kept score on everything...

From who scored the most goals at lunchtime, 

To how much we could eat, 

We kept score on everything. 

Keeping score is the first of two powerful things you can do to keep yourself accountable.

And the second powerful thing is competing against something else that is the benchmark of the same game you are playing. 

I'm not a smoker,

But many of my pals are, if they give up they can tell you how many days its been since they had a fag, 

That IS keeping score...

It's internal, something we all did as kids but two things happened that stopped this.

One... We are told/learnt that keeping score is showing off so we stopped doing it.

Two.. we tell ourselves that keeping score doesn't matter (but only if we fail or think we WILL fail)

But here's the belter, 

In golf with your HANDICAP, we get to compete with other golfers, other scores in a fair game.

Other players with different abilities and skills, but we play on a level playing field because of the handicap system. (depending on how many bandits there are, and we all know a few)

If we keep score of what we CAN control and not what is out of our hands we can stay consistent and motivated.

Here's the subtle difference on what we can and can't control.

We can't control the outcome but we can control the process.

Let me spit some examples.

Putting ...

We can't control where the ball finishes but we can control where it starts if we practice putting.

Fitness ... 

We can't control how much weight we lose (no matter what horse shit you here, the body is always adapting to the demands we put on it) but we can control if we exercise every single day. 

Focusing on what we can control (the process) and not the outcome means you can score it.

"Did I Do X today, YES or NO" No stories of why we couldn't, not reasons or excuses just a simple yes or no. 

By focusing on what you can control, you can make it a fair game, a game we think we can win. 

And if we think we CAN win we will TRY to win.

Writing the score that is not good enough down is what motivates us to do better.

Returning a scorecard in a tough round of golf of 22 points when it seems everyone else scored in the '30s is embarrassing but motivating to be better next time. 

Motivation to get better comes from this pain.

This statement from Unstoppable B*stard Paul Mort is the reason to always keep score.

"If you lack the courage to keep score you will continue to justify your lack of results" Yep, it felt painful when I heard it too. 

Play a game and keep score. 

If you wanna know what game we play, 

A game that helps us with our fitness, 

Our golf and being pain-free while trying to hit the cover off of our ball?

Then go here. 

https://www.johnseton.com/golfmobonline 

Either way, what I want you to do next is... 

1) Decide what the one thing is you are struggling with and find a way to score it. 

2) Try to beat that score today and then again tomorrow. 

Nice one

John Seton
