Bridgestone Mindset Ball. Something Else We Need.

[snapfade]

I get it, it might work for some, but not for me I don't think. I don't put too much thought into it once I'm standing over the ball, my poor decision has already been determined. I don't know if going through the "mindset" process is going to make much difference. I don't see Dean putting something like this on his balls so I really don't have to worry about it. Its interesting though, maybe someone here might find value in it.

Can’t I just draw on the ball myself and get the same result?

Yep. Or… just make it so you don't need a weird reminder on your golf ball. 😄

Wow, the advertising I miss by not reading my Golf and Golf Digest magazines.

I'm going to suggest that within a couple of shots I will forget to look at the little logo on the ball and decode it into the required steps. It will just be a logo on a ball. 

After all, I don't look at the Amazon logo and think "Man, they really do help me with everything from A to Z."

I wouldn’t remember what the steps in the decal mean. Then I’d have to look it up. Then I’d realize I spent too much time googling it and skip my preshot routine and just hit the ball.

You forgot that you need to document that you performed each of the steps within specifications. And then document that it has been documented.

I need a vacation.

No, that is not allowed.
Markings on the ball can only be made by the manufacturer. 
They are the only entity to ensure the markings are accurate and the ball remains balanced!

What did you think you were going to buy a $1.50 permanent marker at Target and draw some imperfect line with your shaky hand?
This is the game of golf, get serious!!!!!!

Yea you’re going to look down at your balk and see how the lines aren’t perfectly round and that’s going to cause you to think about the flaws in your own swing. Automatic shank 😉

This is exactly right. I occasionally write notes to myself and stick them to the fridge. Within a day or two, it just becomes part of the background and I don't notice it anymore making it completely useless.

I used to write reminders and swing thoughts on a piece of paper, keep in my bag and read before and during a round.
I think I read it once and forgot about it.
So then I started writing cryptic reminders on my glove. But then I just stopped paying attention to that as well.

I also used to put a line on my ball. But soo realized I never lined it up to align with the hole, So what was the point?

All of the talk about writing on things reminded me of the old "Welcome to Jamaica, Have a Nice Day." joke. You can Google that.
