Fix on the flag with your dominant eye – and watch the ball fly straight to the pin. That’s how the one-eyed-golf-brainiac does it anyway. Are you one?

If not ... try this competitive edge golfer technique.  You'll likeley win your next match, and become the next one-eyed brainiac golfer all in the same round.  How so?

1. First ... point directly to the flag while you stand on the first tee.

2. Then ... with your pointer finger still targeted … cover your right eye. Open your eyes. Is your finger still pointing directly to the flag?

3. Now ... cover your left eye, without moving your pointer finger. Is the flag direction still in line perfectly with your finger's pointed direction?

4. Finally ... whichever finger is still directed dead-on to the flag … is your dominant eye.

If your your right eye dominates, you're part of the world's two third right eye dominant golfers. In contrast, you’re part of one third of all people … if your left eye dominates. Give or take a few percent of golfers whose eyes are actually ambidextrous, so that neither dominates, the best golfers use dominance to their   advantage.

Why should ocular dominance matter more to golfers?

It wins you games. Why not see more precise targets. Simply put ... your dominant eye can gain competitive advantages over your opponent in a golf game.  

Or what about a dartboard competition?  At work,  you’ll find other uses for this precision tactic at work too.

Want to draw  accurate lines from one point to another? Your dominant eye gets you closer to that target, every time. Interestingly, it’s also designed to block messages that try to send your brain in roundabout ways, from faulty vision seen with less dominant eyes.

Not a bad trick for the ol’ golf bag on your next big round. Worth trying? Who knows … you could be the next one-eyed-golf brainiac. It’s fun to share this ocular secret – over dinner. Only after you win the game though. Your turn…?
