ABSTRACT

This chapter describes some basic considerations and operational details for the use of neurofeedback in relation to performance improvement or mental fitness. Neurofeedback has evolved as a clinical practice over almost 30 years, and certain protocols have become standard. In the context of golf, this becomes neurofeedback for peak performance. Golf is simply a phase of life that presents its own unique challenges, measures, and rewards. It is hoped that trainers and administrators able to extract from these descriptions sufficient information to create the basic plan for training, and to begin to explore neurofeedback training and its benefits as part of a comprehensive plan of performance improvement. Neurofeedback complements this concept by providing additional mental and brain tools, allowing the player to proceed in a more natural, effortless manner, toward performance that has fewer errors, fewer distractions, and more productivity.
