Del Mar Golf Center - Bill Westerlund, PGA Instructor

1. MISSION STATEMENT: To help my clients find the "Missing Link" in their golf, by feeling the connection between their internal core strength and their golf swing and game. By engaging my trademarked proprietary core-breathing 4 golf methods, is what defines the "missing link" between your internal core strength and your ball striking force. 2. What exactly is THE POWER OF Core-Breathing 4 Golf, MIND, BODY, BREATH. Breath produces energy, and energy produces strength, and strength produces force and force produces POWER. Thus our name "THE POWER OF". Understanding how your mind, body and breath influence each other is key to reaching the highest level of performance in golf. Psychology is the starting process to initiate the linking between the mind and body. Breath is a reflection of what you are doing physically and emotionally, Meaning breath supports your emotional/physical reality..When your basic breathing pattern changes, it can make you weaker, neutral, or stronger... MIND: You will learn to clear the mind by removing emotional barriers to your energy flow. BODY: You will learn to maximize the use of your core energy for peak performance. BREATH: You will learn the four-step breathing process for the mind - body connection. 3. Many say golf is “mental in playing”. In this program there is a saying. "Golf is mental when a player cannot be physical but when he/she is physical they are no longer mental". Learning how to make your game physical by making every swing from the ground up and incorporating core strength to structure the swing and based on mind, body and breath techniques. (all techniques by anyone has mind, body and breath incorporated in them no matter what). WHEN A MENTAL THOUGHT CAN PROJECT A BALL THEN "PIGS" WILL LITERALLY FLY, most Pro's and Amateur's are taught by their swing coaches and sports psychologist this approach, that is why they hit so many practice balls. Practice is not a live situation, with consequences. With breath being an emotional state, and having lots of different thoughts, fear, doubt, panic, nervousness, worry, losing, pressure, etc.... It’s not about winning "it is about not loosing". Winning creates excitement and excitement changes your breathing pattern and anytime that changes there is a consequence, meaning missed fairways, greens, and missed putts. 4. The biggest difference between an "Iron Byron swing machine" and a Human is the machine doesn't breathe, but breath for humans is what supports life, without it were dead. Breath has the biggest influence on every task we do throughout your day. A player knows what he wants mentally, but can they create it physically.. I make the transition...Core-Breathing can become your personal stress reliever.. Until you absolutely know how your body works from an internal energy point of view, how can you shape your shots for repeat-ability, the answer is you cannot.. Your endurance goes down as your breath range decreases, this then effects muscle coordination ability, therefore affects your muscle strength in movement, meaning weakness. 5. There are only two ways to develop your swing. The most simple way of thinking is its either intuitively based on feelings created during practice on the course. The other way is to consciously-mindfully build the muscle tension to construct your swing from the ground up. Reality it's matter of degrees, either more intuitive and the other is more mindfully building the appropriate muscle tension for your swing. The difference is intuitive swings development is subject to emotional changes during your game, this effects your repeat-ability. The conscious-mindful pattern to build your swing setup method has less emotional interference to change muscle action, which is why it is repeatable. The more a person mindfully develops their swing will enhance physical muscle sensation and lowers emotional distractions. So it is choice to build swing IF a golfer has techniques center on the core strength and breath for feeling of muscle tension which will lower mental distractions during the development of the swing. You have now read a lot of information on my approach. In my 50 years of being a PGA Golf Professional, and now a PGA Life Member, golf and most sports have been taught by telling you "WHAT" to do, but not "HOW TO MAKE IT PHYSICAL". What is the mental side, Core-Breathing is how to make it physical, by using the least amount of "effort, to create the greatest "effect". This is the “missing link” in learning to “soften” your muscles appropriately. Core-Breathing 4 Golf is the only program in golf today that has effective breathing techniques to deal with the competitive stress throughout your round, is what my business partner Scott Bartley and I have developed over the past eleven years. The “duality” of being a swing coach and an energy coach allows me to internally enhance your learned golf swing for maximum repeat-ability. If you have time peruse my website, listed below and click on the NEWS column and download the following lessons, Lifestyle Lesson, and Lesson 1, Understanding the Link between Breathing and Core Power. I also am published on the same page you have six magazine articles, I would like you to read the April 2013 article, on Core-Philosophy by Ben Hogan. I will teach you "how" to activate the center of "force" in your lower-core, in the male body, then "how" to direct this energy down to both feet to create ground force, what I call D.I.G.F.A. which stands for Dynamic Internal Ground Force Action. and then when and "how" to exhale your breath appropriately. YOUR GOAL IS TO BECOME MORE PHYSICAL, YOU WILL LEARN THE TECHNIQUES AND METHODS REQUIRED. I promise to make it informative, fun and physical. No more mental "gymnastics"....

For most recreational golfers is not fun and enjoyable. Golf is a hard sport to learn and to achieve repeatability. When I can train a golfer often say 6-12 lessons they can understand my approach and by sequential building from the ground up they are able to get better through(Core-Breathing 4 Golf) my trademarked approach. This takes time to learn, to do and to repeat which is when it becomes more fun and enjoyable.
