Look at Dr. Howard Gardner’s research … and you’ll see how nature offers you a unique intelligence. This mental capability could boost both your enjoyment and skills for better golf, for instance. Remember many intelligences you possess sit waiting in the wings for you to reboot your brain in ways that use them more. Golf offers the perfect chance … and your score will be the beneficiary.
The key is to tap into an often hidden or unused naturalistic intelligence and look for ways to benefit more from what you have. A few practical tactics could help your next game….
You can unleash your brain’s ability to interact with nature for smarter solutions in a golf game … in the follow ways:
- Take a walk along the outskirts of your course and pause to take in the sounds… sights … textures … and aromas… that will likely come back as serotonin spurts to buoy up your next game.
- Unlock naturalistic possibilities you may have overlooked along the course… simply by looking to nature for answers such as: How can I golf better with hill or sand formations? What does moisture in the air do for my game? How can the shape of the trees help me to select the best club when the ball lands in the rough?
- Draw from a hunter’s … botanist’s … or anatomist’s ability … to recognize and name animals, plants, and other parts of the natural environment where you golf. It will sharpen your mind for the setting and the swing.
