Since
its
inception,
the
concept
of
Golf
Power
has
captured
the
interest
of
the
sports
world.
First
conceived
in
1976,
the
Golf
Power
program
was
the
first
to
focus
on
the
mental
aspect
of
the
sport
and
teach
what
and
where
the
elusive
state
known
as
the
"Zone"
is
and
how
to
enter
it
at
will.
The
concepts
opened
the
way
for
a
spate
of
mental
programs
and
sports
psychologists.
In
the
United
States
alone
there
are
more
than
25
Million
"heavy"
golfers
who
will
try
anything
and
buy
anything
to
improve
their
game.
A
"heavy"
golfer
is
one
who
plays
between
15
and
300
rounds
per
year.
This
dedicated
and
enthusiastic
group
makes
for
a
loyal
listening
audience.
While
broadcasting
The
Golf
Power
Show,
one
station,
KRDO
in
Colorado
Springs,
increased
its
audience
share
by
1100%
for
the
7:00
to
9:00
AM
period
during
one
rating
period.
On
a
national
basis,
the
popularity
of
The
Golf
Power
Show,
growing
entirely
by
word
of
mouth,
became
recognized
as
one
of
the
fastest
growing
new
shows
on
radio.
As
a
result
of
the
show's
popularity,
there
have
been
numerous
attempts
to
copy
it
but
with
no
success.
Due
to
the
rapid
growth
of
The
Golf
Power
Show,
the
nation's
largest
sports
network
has
approached
Alex
Merklinger
to
develop
a
daily
90-second
vignette:
The
Golf
Power
Minute.
The
Golf
Power
Show
is
the
only
one
that
teaches
the
mental
aspect
of
sports
in
general
and
golf
specifically.
