| “By employing your ideas and putting myself back in the fun zone while playing, I had the best 72 hole tournament of my life, finishing tied for 8th at the PGA Senior Club Professional Championship in Port St. Lucie. My 11 under total was the result of several things, but most important was getting out of my own way and having fun while making 19 birdies for the week. Thank you for your help and I look forward to working with you again soon." |

| "What
a great experience! It enhanced the bonds of an already
close-knit team of co-workers, gave us all a new perspective
on how to achieve to the limit of our individual and
collective capacities, and improved our golf swings.
What more could one want or expect?" |

| "2006
was a great year for us. The time we spent with you
helped us visualize our direction and have the confidence
to move forward. My leadership team delivered great
results that enabled the department to meet some challenging
goals. We even used the tools and skills you taught
us to help us develop our 2007 business plan." |

| “ I
would like to thank you for sharing your Creative Golf (ThinkWorkPlay)
techniques with me. I believe I was your first student
using a sports psychology approach... From that
day on, I have applied your Creative Golf (ThinkWorkPlay) philosophy
on and off the course and continue to remain emotionally
detached from outcomes, trusting my action plan and
have gone from a 22 handicap to a 12 without ever taking
a mechanical swing lesson!! I can't wait to attend
one of your "Creative Golf (ThinkWorkPlay)" teambuilding
experiences with my co-workers. If they profit from
the program half as much as I did, then we as a company
will be more efficient & profitable....not to mention
better golfers! ” |

| “I
golfed with in-laws this weekend. I applied the things
you taught in the class and for the FIRST time, I
had fun...I enjoyed golfing and I was not so stressed
about every shot. As a result of those things, mostly
a NEW attitude, I SERIOUSLY trimmed 20 strokes off
my game. Now, for a guy like me that is NOT a golfer
and who shoots in the 120s, getting a 106 on 18 holes
was UNREAL!!!! So, now I am hooked...but not because
golf is a challenge for a Type-A person like me,
but because it is fun and I know that I can now challenge
myself and have a good time.” |

| “ The
group felt it was one of the best teambuilding sessions
ever experienced. Focusing on collaboration and cooperation,
placing yourself in vulnerable circumstances, helps
to build trust. Trust is letting employees know that
regardless of outcome, the manager believes in their
skills and efforts towards the solution. Being encouraged
to attempt a new experience forced us out of our
comfort zone and generated the feeling of success
in something we never would have attempted. We look
forward to incorporating our experience with Creative Golf (ThinkWorkPlay) into our future supervisory training programs. ” |

| “ As
a novice golfer, it was important for me to learn
the mechanics of golf. However, technique can only
take you so far before you realize that the mental
aspects of the game are just as important – if
not more. I found that mental obstacles such as anxiety,
lack of concentration or self-doubt can be major
road blocks to playing a good round of golf. When
I use a more creative, right-brain approach to golf,
I am more relaxed, I play better and I definitely
enjoy the game more.” |

| “ Great
experience...putting the ball with my eyes closed,
visualizing where the ball was rolling, feeling more
comfortable on the golf course without a barrage
of complex technical instruction all made for an
awesome golf lesson. Thanks Doug.” |

“ I
thoroughly enjoyed the clinic – best lessons
I’ve ever had by far. Instead of thinking
about how I felt after my best shot ever (over the ball), to actually feel
how I felt (before hitting the shot)” |

| “ Thanks
for instilling a measure of self confidence into
those of us who are golf novices. Believe it or not,
I have attached the "Mental Pre-shot Routine" to
my office bulletin board as acknowledgment that “Creative Golf (ThinkWorkPlay)” lessons transcend the sport of golf. ” |

“ The
swing mechanics are one thing – but the brain
is much more powerful! In the fall of 2005, I attended
my initial Creative Golf (ThinkWorkPlay) Mental Game School taught
by Doug Hodges. Since this time I have focused more
on the mental preparation of the game and it is paying
off. I recently played in my Club Championship and
for the first time competed in the in the Championship
Flight as I felt that I was ready to test my game,
both mental and physical. With the knowledge from
Doug as well as a few tweaks with my mechanics, I
placed third in the Championship Flight.
My goals are coming to fruition with the CGMG theories and applying the
mental mechanics to my game! I am looking forward to my goal of winning
a few championships with this knowledge and confidence that is now in my
mind.” |

| ““ Thanks so much for last Monday's session. I learned a lot about myself and how I allow emotions to influence my game. Now I can turn that around and use "confident, powerful" emotions to play to my potential. I had another hole in one on Thursday!!! It was a perfect shot!!! This is my new mind picture to calm my heart rate and hopefully have a green light! |

| ““I borrowed the assistant pro's 56 degree wedge, thought about my "green" zone feeling, and promptly hit a perfect pitch 55 yards into the hole. Needless to say, we won.” |

| “““I played in a captain's choice tournament yesterday afternoon and I applied the "Happy Place" thoughts to my putts of which I have been so afraid in the past. I dropped 1 20-22 foot one and 5 8-10 foot ones. I feel so good now about my putting. I plan to play in Pinehurst all three days this holiday weekend with my husband and I will surprise him with my new found wisdom. Thanks for your help - the session was wonderful.” |
