Clear Intention is Key to Manifest in Golf and Life

Can I intend to make a hole-in-one on the 4th hole at Belle Isle Golf Detroit?

It’s a short par-3 course, and this hole is only 35 yards. I’m playing off a mat to protect the tee box, and it’s not a traditional round.

Still, the shot isn’t simple. I’ve got to go under a tree and over a bunker. The wind varies. I can’t see the cup. The slope near the hole is an illegally steep 7.51%—for context, the PGA TOUR typically limits pin placements to slopes between 0–4%.

A statistician told me that the odds of a pro like me holing out from just 25 yards in the fairway are about 1 in 105. From 35 yards, with these conditions? The odds are definitely worse.

Mathematically, I shouldn’t make it.

But can clear intention help beat the odds?

Let’s explore it!

Can I intend to make a hole in one? Our intention is a very very powerful thing like what we intend to do. So you may have heard about manifestation vis visualization those kinds of things. So part of like how that can work is we’re basically in this electromagnetic field. So there’s light waves, radio waves, some things you know the light waves it make the space turned into things that we can see here. The sound waves are things that we can hear. So all these things kind of give texture to the experience. But there’s actually more space here than there is stuff. So how that kind of works a little bit is so our brains are putting off frequencies. It’s a little bit of like conscious stuff, but it’s also like very much subconscious stuff. So you you may have to like do a lot of inner work to clear out some space for it to work. If something is in your subconscious out of alignment with what you’re intending to do, then the difficulties of that will come up and it’ll test you
