I try to pick an appropriate "last song" in my car to psych me up. The last song I hear is often the one that gets stuck in my head, so heaven forbid it's some lame song that has a horrible rhythm.

The last one that worked really well was "Humble Neighborhoods" by Pink from the album "Try This" (2003). I don't use songs quite the same way you do, but if you're asking about music, I like R.E.M., Toad the Wet Sprocket, Live, etc.

I usually like to putt on the practrice green with my Ipod on, which for me personally, helps me to focus more...and it also helps in that i dont get distracted easily.

As for a song, if im looking to get PUMPED before a match It'll fall along the lines of Rage Against the Machine or Nirvana

If i just wanna be relaxed, it will mnost likely be Pearl Jam, Audioslave, or Jimi Hendrix (I'm a guitar player too, so its appreciated)

Music does help me, but if i get one stuck in my head like a ball in a St. Andrews Bunker, I'm in trouble because it can enter my mind while im trying to sink a put or hit a key shot....so i guess it goes both ways....

I had the misfortune of hearing the first couple bars of "My Sharona" before playing Sunday...... 4 three-putts. Never never never never try this song before golf- it sticks in the brain like white on rice!

Yeah, if there's a song that'll have you jerking at the ball thats the one. "Muh-muh-muh-my second three jack."

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
