Your Golf Control Center is literally your brain - some of us perhaps wish it could be more so. By this set of exercises we are working on keeping your head steady in your swing as well as developing the involvement of the eyes to a more sophisticated degree. Having these qualities will contribute greatly to the accuracy of your swing.
The great athletes in almost every field of endeavor have one thing in common: in the midst of their action the head remains centered and stable. It doesn't translate left or right, front or back or tilt one side or the other. This keeps their relationship to the physical environment consistent and stable - it is the same with this game. Just look at an Olympic runner next time.
Steady Eyes - Fluid Golf Swing
A perfect example is a big cat, cheetah for example, running down its prey. The amazingly fluid movement of the body at great speed and yet the head remains consistent with its relationship to the physical environment - very steady. Actually for some of us the course can resemble a jungle type survival of the fittest situation at times - with the cup as elusive as any prey.

It is very difficult to develop this aspect during the actual swing. As with any 'in depth' quality we are better off isolating the developmental components and rebuilding them into the function of the swing. We do this using the Feldenkrais Method as well as integration strategies from Instinctive Mind and Body Integration
Maintaining a stable position for your head and eyes sets up an extremely well balanced action.
Golfing with Awareness
Developing a functional awareness with this part of the body contributes more to timing and accuracy than almost anything.
More importantly, any tension here is the MOST major cause of stress - physical and emotional and psychological.
As an athlete begins to succumb to stress or pressure you almost always see it around the head first. 
The jaw tightens, the neck stiffens the eyes become fixed.
There are other revealing aspects to the movement of the eyes that we draw on from NLP that would be important for the serious professional. It is easy to see when you know what to look for, even in the midst of a stroke.
Actually some people habitually play golf this way all the time and wonder why they don't improve.
The disturbing thing with stress is that a person can be under its influence and not be aware. You could be tightening up for your swing and not know it.
These exercises and integration strategies can provide a way out of this scenario - all the time, every time. It is a physical function and can be controlled as such - as can other aspects of your game.
The Prepared Golfer
As you become more skilled with this you will find your concentration improving as well as your overall game. You can be as fresh and on your game at the end of a round, or tournament, as at the beginning.
You will find that the shoulders, the jaw, even the eyes are all related and as you release one of these the others relax also.
You will perform your best golf within an alert, aware and relaxed presence.
We have physical exercises here to cause this to happen. From this you can begin to develop, or enhance, great fluidity, power and accuracy with your swing.Return to Improve your Golf Swing and Look Good Doing It
