Swing Thoughts

[tm22721]

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"
