1. On A Scale Of 1 to 10, How Important Is Confidence In Hitting Any Give Golf Shot?
-
1 - Confidence won't keep an airplane in the air. All the confidence in the world doesn't mean a hill of beans once you swing. It simply doesn't matter in the least.2
-
2 - Confidence doesn't matter much. I've seen down-in-the-dumps people not give a crap and hit the best shots of their round.0
-
3 - Very little. The ball doesn't know how confident you are or are not. It just goes where its struck.2
-
4 - It probably matters a bit, but most golfers over-value confidence.5
-
5 - Confidence can't hurt, but it's more likely that hitting good shots makes you confident, not the other way around.8
-
6 - It will help a little.2
-
7 - It's pretty important. Definitely should be part of your training plan and pre-shot routines.4
-
8 - Confidence will allow you to make your best swing. Therefore its important.25
-
9 - You have to be confident or your game will go to Hell in a golf cart.4
-
10 - Confidence will very literally change the outcome of the swing you are about to make. If you are confident you WILL hit it better. That's a fact!5

Day 206 - 2025-04-24 Got some good partial wedge work in today. Same stuff as the full swing, but I can see why I was trying to do something a bit different. -

Day 4:Full Speed Spectrum Training Session 8/24 Dropped 2 mph from last session. This is my 6thFull Speed Spectrum program and I have often struggled swinging so many heavier weights and maintaining speed with the195 gram measuring weight. -

Just some notes Putting - more straight back and close the face through impact. I got a bit too inside, lots of block putts right or pushing the club out and heeling putts. Especially on longer putts. Pitching - pretty decent. Just working on distance control and different backswing lengths. Redeveloping the touch. Also trying to no flip the club inside since that is my full swing pattern. Though, I seem to be able to bracket the center of the clubface, heel and toe strikes. -

jeezus, whatever hole you think I’ve dug, you appear to be right in there with me. Take it easy man, I’m not mad, I’m not throwing shade, I’m just enjoying Rory’s performance, and speculating on what the future may hold. I agree with you, he’s one of the best of all time, certainly in the modern era.
