Does the subconscious need to be trained or should it already know what movements to make in a golf swing?
Well I took a typing class in 8th grade so both. But I'm serious about the question. Dariuz says subconscious doesn't need training. I'm wondering if there could be any movements in the golf swing that do for some people.Which of your's wrote this?

Surely it varies. Arnold Palmer said his dad showed him the proper grip, told him to keep his head down and cut him loose.Well, as it turns out keeping your head down isn't necessarily the best advice but it didn't slow Arnie down any. I'm just saying that the amount of training needed is influenced by the level of hand eye coordination and innate ability.
The subconscious mind needs to be trained through repetition of conscious thought until it becomes automatic.
It may not need training, but it also doesn't have to deal with consequences.
Nothing about these movements are natural (until learned and repeated ad nauseum). Heck, next time you see a Habitat for Humanity site, stop in and look at how many of those folks suck at subconsciously using a hammer to hit a nail. The skill still needs to be learnt and repeated.
I bet you and I can do all sorts of new unnatural movements and patterns with our subconscious, but how many of those do you think will be done optimally or even good? The idea is to play to our potential, which is out of our comfort zone. I really prefer my subconscious to know what the heck it's doing, because guess which part of the mind has to pay at the end of the round if it doesn't?
good point. I read "with winning in mind" too. You have to convince yourself your capable of doing it or the subconscious wont do it.You have to change the Self Image to adjust "the comfort zone." That is not easy to do, but like training the subconscious mind, it can be done.

Only a few have it but we all know it when we see it, don't we? Sam Snead, Willie Mays, Secretariat......Agree. I am not a natural athlete and for me timing and coordination takes time. But we have all known those who are gifted with an innate sense of what muscles to engage and when regardless of what athleOnlytic motion is required, even on first try. I once saw Pele in his prime. Of course his ball handling, passing and shooting skills were superb and undoubtedly the result of hours of training from childhood. But the way he ran was miraculous. Totally effortless; he seemed to glide, feet caressing the ground. Pure altheticism and in him before he took his first step.
"I just try to picture the best shot I ever hit with that club."
-Fred Couples, when asked what he thought about when hitting a golf ball
IMHO all on course golf should be subconscious. But when you are practicing: images, feel and conscious thoughts if needed should be worked on to improve your swing.
