Founded in 1989, the United States Golf Teachers Federation began making history by training and certifying golf teaching professionals
for the golfing public. By opening the door to those that previously were never given the opportunity to teach golf, the USGTF started
a trend that has led the game through two decades of growth and popularity never seen before.
Today, the USGTF is the largest organization
of strictly golf teaching professionals in the world with over 22,000 members. The USGTF is a founding member of the World Golf Teachers
Federation® and is one of 35 member nations that make up this entity. Both Federations help to establish the world's standard for
golf teaching professionals.
The USGTF educational theme is that of progressive learning. We incorporate four levels of
certification for the golf teaching professional. You may select any level of certification that is necessary for your needs. It is
not required to attend Level I or Level II prior to attending the Level III full certification. This approach allows you the opportunity
to progress comfortably at your own pace in the golf teaching industry.

ZenChili.com's 8 Keys to effortless power Free E Book
"Journey To Scratch"
www.zenchili.com provides Golf reviews, videos & instruction to help you improve your golf
game.
I’ve always wanted to hit it further, from the time I first picked up a golf club. I remember seeing a picture of a professionals
swing and it captured my attention.
The photo showed him mid-down swing. His hands were by his waist, but the club was
pointing straight up and had a good amount of flex. From that day I set out to imitate that position.
Over time I learned
better ways to hit the ball, and some times I would hit it longer, but I just wasn’t consistent enough. I remember one day going
out to the driving range, and there was a fence at about 240 yards, about 60 feet high. For one moment it clicked, and easily
hit a 3 wood over that fence. It was a warm sunny summer day. I managed to do that a couple of times, then went back to
over swinging and inconsistent hits.
It took me some time to figure things out. I stopped playing golf for about 15 years.
I came back to it a 26 handicap, basically picked up where I left off. I knew I could do better. The pros I had taken
lessons from had always told me that I could have been really good, if only I applied myself.
Over the next three years I worked
on my swing and little by little I learned. And what I learned astounded me.
I learned how to hit further and straighter
with less effort. I learned why that image I had from when I was a kid learning the game was wrong. And how it had set
me on the wrong path to pure ball striking. And I learned how to hit it solid, time and again, with less effort. This
is what you will learn in this ebook.
Golf is not about power. It is about efficiency. And this book teaches you
how to improve your efficiency, lower your effort, and hit longer straighter shots. I am no longer a 26 handicap. In one
year I dropped to a 12, and in the last year I dropped to an 8. I believe this year, I could go scratch. Now I’m not saying
you will have the same results, but what you will learn is how to be more efficient. With that knowledge you can start your
own Journey to Scratch.
This book will show you:
•The secret to effortless power.
•How you can hit the
sweet spot more often.
•How to use the swing path to add distance and accuracy.
•How to stop tension
from robbing you of distance.
•How to create tour lag.
•And more
Subscribe to the “
Journey to Scratch” newsletter.
Each newsletter will update you on the latest swing information,
reviews and more.
Hit ‘em long and accurately.

the hopes of not missing their tee time or the first hole or simply frustrated on the range or golf course because things aren’t going
their way . Golfers’ need to follow a course of action or regular plan that works for each individual to get them in the right
frame of mind before playing or practicing. For example, if you’re going to play, a solid course of action is sticking to your schedule
so you can manage your time effectively; make a check list of the necessities you require (food, balls, gloves, shoes) etc.
forgetting something can affect your mood and attitude and add some frustration to your day even prior to getting started. Start out
by allowing yourself a minimum of 60 minutes of time “at the course” before your scheduled tee time. Get in the car and cruise in
a calm manner to the course, listen to some easy listening music, fast paced music can get you in a different frame of mind and even
affect your tempo as the last song you listened to usually sticks in our heads, in some cases all day sub-consciously. Follow a regular
warm up routine. (stretching, short game, hitting session) Doing some of these related tasks will help get you in the right
frame of mind and will provide some structure toward getting your attitude on Team Positive so you can have a successful day on the
golf course.
Concentration ~
1. The action or power of focusing one’s attention or mental effort.
2. Dealing with one particular
thing above all others.
The ability to concentrate in golf is often mis-understood. Many players at the amateur level feel
the necessity to try and grind and concentrate for a 4 and half hour time frame. This is virtually impossible. What is very
important, is to understand how to focus in short bursts. The golf swing is on average 1.5 seconds and the fewer the thoughts the
better. Most of the time concentration is done in preparation to execute a shot. I prefer my students and players to get in
a 20 to 30 second bubble of concentration prior to hitting the shot and follow this routine throughout practice and of course play.
I know if you follow this kind of structured concentration you will increase your opportunity at producing a more desired outcome.
Emotions
~
1. an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive
and volitional states of consciousness.
This pertains to golf as it’s very important to remain on an even keel when playing.
There have been some players along the way such as David Duval, Fred Couples and Dustin Johnson to name a couple of current players
that have been criticized for not showing enough emotion. They have an innate ability to “control” their emotions and are never
too high and never too low and rarely show their frustrations. This ability has been a skill they have developed over the course
of their career as being able to accept the outcome or by product of the shot they executed. It may also be a personality trait, but
in tough pressure situations this skill is definitely an advantage. It provides a platform to remain calm. Players need to control
their fears. Perhaps, they’re afraid of specific shots on certain holes? Players need to control their joys, the holes they
do really well on and look forward to and even though they might not have played them yet, they might have thought too far ahead.
For example, “oh, #8 and # 11 are my birdie holes.” Some of this is set up by first starting off with a positive attitude, if
you stick to a few of the guidelines above, you’re ahead of the game. If you combine your positive Attitude along with some short
burst Concentration its a recipe for success. If you have a negative attitude or poor concentration this will undoubtedly build
up to a boiling point of frustration that we as professionals see in club throwing, cursing and other outbursts that will takeaway
from your experiences both present and future until you decide to change or realize you need to get your emotions in check.
These
are just a few of my brief thoughts on some Mental Game ideas that I know are beneficial. Jason Helman Golf is here to
coach you to a better game.

Learn How To Control 3 Major Aspects of YourSelf
Attitude ~
1. manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, especially
of the mind: a negative attitude; positive attitude
2. position or posture of the body appropriate to or expressive of an action, emotion,
It’s
extremely important to approach golf with the right attitude or be in the correct frame of mind when you’re ready to play or practice.
Your’re either on Team Negative Attitude or Team Positive Attitude, obviously, it’s important to be on Team Positive. Too many
times we see the tendency of people rushing to the first tee un prepared, which usually means they’re feeling stressed while driving/speeding
to get to the course in

The United States Golf Association and the R&A have published the new Rules of Golf for 2012-15. Changes in the Rules -
which for the first time have been designed, published and presented jointly by golf's governing bodies - include exonerating a player
from penalty if it is known their ball was moved by the wind after address. Following an exhaustive, four-year review of golf's
34 playing Rules, nine principal Rules have been amended to improve clarity and ensure penalties are appropriate.
