Doug commented that is not the whole story. It’s what Tiger focuses on that makes the difference.
He took us through an exercise where he had an audience member act as a flag on the ninth hole of a difficult golf course.
He than imitated Tiger Woods who gauged the wind direction and strength and took a swing.
Unfortunately, the ball sliced out of alignment with the flag. Doug then asked where would Tiger’s focus be as he walked to the ball. The comment was “what he needed to do to get the ball in the hole - what club, the wind direction and velocity, etc.”
Then Doug asked: “What would you be thinking about as you walked towards the ball?” Many golfers in the audience answered, “what I did wrong to create the slice and how I might correct it.”
The point is that Woods is a great golfer because his attention is constantly on “getting the ball in the hole” rather than the self criticism most of us go through when something doesn’t go the way we want it to.
What has this got to do with intuition?
Our intuition will give us the answers we want, however unless we ask questions where the answers will give us what we want, our intuition will lead us
