Re-Establishing Tempo

[rhodes81]

I have been striking the ball really well lately, but played in my regular 2 man scramble yesterday evening and wasnt quite as sharp. It wasn't awful, but I definitely felt like I was getting quick. The only problem with tempo is, as soon as you think about it, it stops being smooth. It almost has to be involuntary. I am trying to get below a 3 by the end of the year and do not need to post any bad scores right now. I am not trying to drastically change anything, so I was wondering, how do you get your tempo back on the right track when it gets a little screwy? Range time is not an option right now, but I am able to hit a few practice balls in the back yard.

I know a few guys the say a mantra in their head during their swing to help get tempo back, the most well know one is saying "Ernie" on the way back and "Els" on the way through
