The Comfort Zone is the vehicle for the golfer to get in “The Zone”. \u00a0How a comfort zone affects a golfer’s ability to change their swing is the key to adaptation not only within golf, the golf swing, etc. but in all learning. \u00a0Athleticism plays no real role in learning – only in adapting.<\/p>\n

Some golfers have comfort zones that are huge. These people\u00a0can learn in any golf instructional language. \u00a0So\u00a0they\u00a0can make almost immediate changes that last because the foundation, their comfort zone, tells them nothing truly unrecoverable will happen as a result of throwing caution to the wind in adapting to instruction. They\u00a0consider\u00a0themselves\u00a0flexible in thought, so\u00a0they are\u00a0flexible in deed. \u00a0 Outcomes are incidental to people like this.<\/p>\n

My best friend has no ability to convert instruction into action in spite of the fact that he is a great athlete. \u00a0 His comfort zone very specific and, as a result, very small. \u00a0He learns in a cocoon. \u00a0So to leave his cocoon with swing changes means he will be alone with the instruction for a long gestation period. \u00a0He will not be forced because the outcome is paramount to him.<\/p>\n

The point is that if the outcome is incidental to a golfer, they will learn faster because the instruction is internalized faster. \u00a0If the outcome is paramount, a person\u00a0will take longer to convert the instruction. \u00a0The instruction has to be converted in private because\u00a0the cocoon is the comfort zone. \u00a0 There are variations in between. \u00a0But I thought to hit the extremes here.<\/p>\n
