We answer your questions about Pro Golf IQ and how it relates to mental golf training, golf coaching, golf consistency and improving your golf mind.

Are you experiencing issues with the Pro Golf IQ program? We've attempted to answer as many questions as possible below.

Q1. I keep falling asleep during the session. How can I stay awake to hear the whole track?

A. It is not uncommon for first-time users to relax so deeply in the early sessions that they may feel that they have been asleep. Generally, you will find that the tendency to doze off will disappear after those first few sessions, and you will more easily engage while listening to the sessions. Try altering the time you schedule your session. If you are doing it late at night before bed and when you are tired from the day's activities, try earlier in the evening or after you get up in the morning. In any case, if you are waking from the session on command, you are probably not asleep but instead, in a deeper state of relaxation, slipping from Alpha state into Theta. Your subconscious will still hear much of the messages but it is far more effective if you avoid this extended state and stay in the aware Alpha level.

Q2. I seem to get very thirsty after the session. Should I have a drink before beginning?

A. Yes, this type of relaxation will draw upon your reserves of fluids so before you get into your sessions, always take a drink of clear water.

Q3. Can I overdo the sessions if I want to listen to them more frequently than three times each week?

A. Not really but the program is designed to be heard with a day between each so the mind can assimilate and act upon the messages. Having said that, you may increase your schedule to four times a week but make sure you begin a new session no later then the following week.

Q4. I'm having difficulty letting go when I am supposed to be relaxing. How can I get more into the session?

A. This is probably a new experience for you and you may be experiencing an instinctive resistance because you are concerned about allowing yourself to go to an unknown place in your mind. First, it is important to remember that the Pro Golf IQ program is based upon known science and is designed only to be beneficial. While deep relaxation might seem to be new to you, in fact, you experience it every night as you fall asleep. Don't be afraid of deep relaxation. It's there you'll discover an untapped power that is in all of us to change our lives for the better without drugs or therapy. It comes without side effects and when you get into it, I promise you will never look back.

Q5. Can anyone use this program?

A. Research has shown that there can be risks when using brainwave entrainment if you have a history of epilepsy or other brain disorders, have a pacemaker, are under the influence of alcohol or mind-altering drugs. Please refer to our safety notice.

Q6. My son has taken up golf; is it safe to let him use the program?

A. Absolutely. In fact, children generally find it easier to use their imaginations, which makes it more effective when engaging with the program.

Q7. I currently listen to audio books as I drive to and from work. I'm really a good driver, and think I'd have no problem concentrating, so would it be a problem for me to listen to my sessions in the car?

A. Under NO circumstances should you listen to any of the sessions while driving, operating machinery or doing anything that requires your full and undivided attention. The ProGolf IQ program relies on a deep state of relaxation and altered states of awareness to produce results, and is not compatible with safe driving.

Q8. I'm on my second session and I'm finding that I seem to be a lot more relaxed when I'm around people. This is new for me – could it be the program?

A. The real answer lies in judging how you behaved before and then after beginning your Pro Golf IQ program. Stress manifests itself on many levels in our lives, and not just in our golf games. The positive impact of your ProGolf IQ program can result in an increase in self confidence, concentration, and a feeling of calm relaxation in all areas of your life, so yes, it could be the program.

Q9. I have a friend who started the program at the same time I did, and after two weeks, he's already dropped four strokes. I'm feeling great, but I've dropped only a stroke or two. What am I doing wrong?

A. Everyone responds in different ways. It's important that you allow yourself to adapt to the program at your own pace, and don't compare yourself with others. Some people see results immediately, and others take a few sessions; but in the end, your golf will have improved markedly by the time you reach the end of your program.

Q10. I want to listen to the program every day. Is that OK?

That's great, if you're enjoying the feeling of relaxation, go ahead and listen as often as you like; however, don't jump ahead by listening to the sessions out of order, or before they're scheduled. You must listen to one session per week, for a total of five weeks.

Q11. I listened to the first two sessions, but then I had to travel overseas and was not able to finish the program. Should I take up where I left off, or should I begin again?

A. If the gap is any longer than one week, start the program from the beginning again.

Q12. I did the program about six months ago, but due to an injury I have not been able to play golf since then. Is it OK to repeat the program?

A. You can repeat the program as often as you like, but you should allow a gap of four to six weeks before you start again.

Q13. I'm in my last session of week one, and I'm still having a bit of trouble using my imagination. Will this get easier?

A. Absolutely. As kids, we use our imagination more frequently. Unfortunately, by the time we become adults, the focus of our imagination is often on the negative aspects of life. But with practice, you'll find your childhood abilities all over again. Stick to it and you'll be amazed at how easy it gets.

Q14. I'm currently taking golf lessons from a local pro. Will this program get in the way of that?

A. Not at all. In fact, it will serve to enhance your learning experience, so enjoy both, and in the end you'll be a better golfer.

Q15. Where can I find more on brainwave entrainment?

A. Go to Google and type in 'entrainment' – this will give you some basic information on the topic but remember, the ISM method is unique and uses several techniques of mind training, one of them being entrainment.

Q16. Does your group sell any other programs?

A. In the future, the Pro Golf team will be offering more programs to help you improve your golf game as well as focussing on other sports and lifestyle topics. Keep an eye on the web site for details.

Q17. I downloaded the program but can't find the files. Where did they go?

A. When downloading the program you will be asked where you would like to place the downloaded files. Common places for downloaded files may include your 'Desktop' or 'Documents' folder. If you are still having trouble locating your files, you may wish to use your computers 'Search' or 'Find' feature.
