In most other endeavors relentless practice allows you to rely upon instinctive feel under pressure, ie no swing thoughts.

But 50% of the fairways at my mountain course are on bad slopes so feel helps very little. You have to focus on the special circumstances.

I have been thinking more about this, and it is not possible to have NO thoughts, its just not humanly possible. There has to be at least one word in your consious thoughts while you hit.

Thinking one positive word, like "fairway" or "green" may be useful. Where a negitive example would be "woods" or "water".

There is ALWAYS something going on inside your head, always have to have a thought, if you dont your dead, literally you are dead!

I always like to tell myself one thing before I hit and i find the most effective is "I can do this", "I am a good player", "I can make this shot"

      Does Anyone Own a Melin Cap?

      By boogielicious ·

      They describe it as a hydrophobic material so the fabric sheds water. Gore-tex is similar and breathable. It’s PTFE (Teflon).

      How are they waterproof, breathable and handle sweat like a champ all at once?

      Day 14:  I hit a bucket with my 7i and driver, didn’t hit my 7 well but my driver was good.  Played my first “real” 9 holes.  Sure, I had a few mulligans but I kept score.  Lost two balls in the water.  Had to chip from the edge of the water and did pretty good, just rolled too far past the hole.  Par was 33 and I wasn’t double but  I was closer to it than I would have liked.  I had a bogey on 9 so that ended it on a sweet note for me.

      Day 134 - Had a tournament today, played poorly. Same as yesterday where the driving was great, but the second shots were awful. Need to dial that in tomorrow so I don’t finish DFL.
