event’s debut at the Colorado Convention Center “To me it’s not as much of an ‘expo’ as it is a ‘festival,’” the general manager of Lenny’s Golf Shop says “It’s a celebration of golf. Whether they shoot 65 or 105, everybody is speaking the same language.”

For the last 12 years, Lenny’s has celebrated by occupying the most real estate on the floorplan something that will continue this year Its 23,000-square-foot space significantly more than it had at the Denver Mart and more than five times the size of its store at 2601 S Parker Road in Aurora will include a retail area and a Club Demo area, where you can hit offerings from 10 major manufacturers, including Callaway, Ping and Titleist, that will have debuted only within the last month

You can chat with company representatives about their clubs and buy them from Lenny’s at a discount. You’ll then pick them up at the store, where one of seven master fitters meticulously fits them for free using state-of-the-art launch monitors and other technologies “If you only sell clubs, you’re only doing half the job,” says Nosewicz, an accomplished mid-amateur who ascribes some of his success (including the 2015 CGA Match Play title and 2017 CGA Parent-Child Championship with his father and company founder, Lenny Nosewicz) “to the fact that my clubs from putter to driver fit me ”

He’s also filling the added space with a chipping contest on a replica of the 17th at TPC Sawgrass made by SYNLawn (“Nick Perea, the president, built the putting green in my basement”) and an area for attendees to check out Blue Tees, “a nice, price-conscious rangefinder ”

Buoyed my memories of attendees of the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Show boarding the light rail laden with new planks and parkas, Nosewicz is motivated to move merchandise at the Convention Center, especially because Lenny’s will begin a complete store remodel right after the Expo. “I’m bringing every single thing from shop,” he says “I don’t want it to

free-flowing movements are associated with performance satisfaction and positive outcomes (van der Lei & Tenenbaum, 2012) Physical fitness boosts distance, ac-

curacy, and technique because the golfer's flexibility, strength, and balance support skill development (Torres et al , 2011 ) However, the energy created by emotions causes distraction from the athletic task and environmental stimuli; furthermore, a build-up of tension reduces physical movement (Vast et al , 2009) Since behavior can change when a human collides with internal and external factors that generate emotions, mental skills are needed to cope with emotions and cause positive outcomes (Vast et al , 2009) Thus, intentional cognitive skills development can help golfers navigate the internal and external factors that affect performance

The benefit of cognitive coaching is the coordination of brain training, physical training, and performance goals. Arnold Palmer said, "Success in golf depends less on the strength of body, more on the strength of mind and character " Since mental skills training can benefit your golf game, consider adding mind development to your golf performance plan Book a free consultation today at Hensey Sports (https://henseysports com)
