I have discovered that all that "positive" psychology stuff is a load of crap.  And my degree is in Psychology.

Is "reverse psychology in reverse" just psychology? 

Welp, that is the meat of the matter isnt it?... I have never managed to internal talk myself into a better swing or a better result. If I'm playing shitty golf, it's because I'm making physically shitty swings. End of story.

Back in the day, it worked for Mark Fidrych of the Detroit Tigers.    His talking to the baseball helped him to the Rookie of the Year award in 1976.   (I'm sure his pitching helped some too!)

That wasn't psychology.  That was friendship with a baseball.  The "Bird".  Bless his heart...

I really think it's just better to know your miss and play for your miss. It works better than fighting it.

I think pretty consistently, my bad shots are over-doing it away from the worst spots. Water left, rough right, and I end up in the rough right. Bunker left, long grass right, and I'll be long. I guess that means my answer to the poll is "no," but it's still kind of annoying.

You can’t play for a random shank.

Nor for that random "Fore Left!" 🤣

I need to change my avatar..., but I still own that driver although I have a new one.

You can but you would be playing the first hole all morning long... constantly aiming everything drastically right.  Circling the the green but never getting on it.  Until you shanked one, of course.
