This is one of those experiential things that it's virtually impossible to imagine how it is for people on the other side of the spectrum. I can close my eyes and see pictures in my head that are just about as detailed as when my eyes are open although I can only focus on bits of it at a time. So if I look at a picture and focus on something in the middle and that only, when I close my eyes I can see that thing I was focused on but everything else is blurred and more so than when my eyes are open. Out of curiosity - when you watch this do you see the distorted faces? -
I like this discussion and I don't see it happening often. I think of commitment as strategy and discipline as tactics. Commitment is the decision—the what and why. You commit to a process, a practice philosophy, a way of approaching the game. Discipline is the how, repeatedly. It's doing the work when motivation fades—sticking with your routine on the 14th hole after three bad swings in a row. Commitment without discipline is just a good intention. Discipline without commitment is just going through motions. As was clearly pointed out, conscientiousness might be what makes discipline easier for some people ("spectrum"), but it's a trait, not a choice. Commitment and discipline are both choices—and that's what makes them actionable on the course. The thought expressed in the thread, "You should act the way you want to see yourself for be" is spot on, and applies beyond golf. Commitment + Discipline = Progress. -

I'm a member at PGAN and I'm not going, if that's any indication how I feel about the event this year, tho it's not entirely due to the field. I've just lived here like fifteen years now and it's pretty old hat to me. That being said, if Rory and Scottie and everyone decided to play it then I would go. It's been 6 years or so since the top players came here? We didn't realize how good we had it here in the 2010s. -
Looks like the weakest field in some time that I can recall seeing...Pass I don't think that anyone in the top 30 OWGR is even in the field. -
This was posted by @iacas back in 2019. He also brough this up in the latest episode of the Spin Axis. 051: Distance Control and Heads Up Putting with Dr. Sasho MacKenzie | The Spin Axis Podcast - Golf Coaches Discuss Instruction Modern Techniques and Technology About a few weeks ago, I learned about the term Aphantasia. Aphantasia is the medical term for the inability to voluntarily create mental images in the "mind's eye," often referred to as having no visual imagination. I took a test for this, and I am closer to the aphantasia side of things. There is a subset of people who have Hyperphantasia. Extremely vivid mental imagery. If I say, close your eyes and envision an apple. Some people can see a bright red apple clear as if it was on a table. While others see nothing at all. I fall into that category. I know I am thinking of an apple. I know it is read, probably because I have been told it is red. I could say, imagine a blue apple. I have a sense there is a blue apple. When I close my eyes all I get it darkness. I don't see anything at all. I can't project a mental image of the apple onto the desk. There was an interesting test where you stare intently at an image of greenish apple. The image tricks your eyes to seeing a red apple if you look away from the screen. It is similar to when you stare at a light for too long, and then you get that dark image of the light in your vision when you look away from the light. Instead, of the color being dark its red. It projects the red apple to wherever you look away to. This is to simulate how people who don't have Aphantasia form a mental image of an apple. So, I wonder if there is any impact to putting to the picture technique? If I stare at hole and concentrate on that memory. I know I am trying to imagine the image; the memory is there. I just can't actually see it.
