approach

New Horizons Golf encourages a holistic approach to training each
golfer. The New Horizons Approach considers all aspects of the
game, physical, mental, and inner. While cultivating these three
aspects of the game, we believe each golfer has the best
chance of developing a complete game.

Think of it this way, if you are concerned with becoming a better
golfer, you are interested in learning more, enjoying yourself
more, and becoming a better performer. This is because,
learning, enjoyment, and performance combine to make
golf's triangle of experience, while the physical,
mental, and inner aspects of the game define
the parameters of the experience.

As far as performance, enjoyment, and learning are concerned,
performance relates to the physical parameters of the game.
In this respect playing the game is very physical.

Enjoyment on the other hand relates to the mental parameters
of the game. This is because, how much we enjoy the
game is a function of our attitude, our expectations,
and our perceptions. All of which are
mental aspects of life.

Learning relates to the inner qualities of the game. Learning
involves awareness, paying attention, internalization,
and perseverance. All of which work together to
develop our habits, and these faculties are inner
in nature. As they interact they combine to
create your underlined disposition. The
disposition from which both enjoyment
and performance are influenced.

While developing the physical aspects of the game, the
New Horizons Approach considers how each golfer's unique
body type influences the swing. Knowing your body type helps
you understand the style of swing that fits you most naturally. Over
the years, it has become quite apparent that the more naturally
your swing technique matches your body type, the more
heightened your level of performance.

While refining the mental aspects of the game, the New
Horizons Approach encourages you to establish realistic goals.
It also helps you learn how to minimize expectations. Keep in
mind, golfers who minimize expectations, while diligently
working toward realistic goals, discover higher
levels of enjoyment.

While cultivating the inner aspects of the game, the New
Horizons Approach encourages you to keep your focus present
to the task at hand. Golfers who keep their focus more present
understand the reality of their games. This means, they
understand what really works and what doesn't work.

"Ed Tischler is not only a golf instructor he is a true student of the game and
of life. He uses all aspects of human interaction from philosophy to physics,
psychology to kinesiology, as well as mechanics to metaphysics in his
approach to golf. His ability to see the untapped potential of individuals
is unique. It reminds me of the teachings of Bruce Lee. Both men
express the true posture of living life as an awakened person."

New Horizons Golf encourages golfers to be concerned
with maintaining their fitness and health. Therefore the New
Horizons Golf Approach recommends you become involved
in fitness programs that help you maintain your
strength, flexibility, and endurance levels.

Core training,Yoga, Pilates, circuit training, aerobic training,
postural training, T'ai Chi, and swimming are among the list of
activities that the New Horizons Golf Approach recommends.

Core strength, postural conditioning, and flexibility top the list of
importance in golf fitness training. These concerns help
develop a foundation for injury prevention.

Circuit training, aerobic training, and cardiovascular training
help promote greater endurance and longevity. While strength
training is mainly concerned with playing more powerful golf.

Overall fitness is balanced with a healthy diet. By eating
healthier foods and by drinking more water your body will feel
more energetic, recover fast, and be able to play longer.

"After meeting Ed in '94, I was impressed at how
much information he possessed. His philosophy on
the golf swing is simple yet effective and his mental
approach unmatched. After reading "New Horizons
Golf-A Physical, Mental, and Inner Renaissance" it
has not only reinforced what I have learned but
has opened New Horizons to the constant search
for perfection. I cannot praise him enough and
recommend his books and teaching
to golfers of all levels."
