That's great for you. I don't have a great swing, so no matter how great I feel mentally, it won't help (nor detract) from my swing. :-D

 

Haha, I wish I had a great swing!  I should have added the sarcasm tag...

You are only equating confidence to the mental game.  There is SO MUCH MORE at play.   The mental game doesn't begin and end at confidence.  It's the ability focus, to not be distracted, to move

Much as I respect Erik, I don't see that he is any more of an authority on this than is Bob Rotella.  If mental game was not an important part of golf (or most any sport) there would be no sports psyc

I think anyone can keep a handicap so long as they understand that if they decide to play in an event that uses such an index, that they must be honest with themselves as they play.  Drunk, high, or n

WTF?  You recommend LSD to improve your game, with maybe some weed at the turn?  Don't recall seeing that in LSW. 

He confused "W" for a "D", after years of abusing his body with this stuff, I'm not surprised. :-D

I didn't catch the sarcasm in that post. :beer:

It could seem that using some sort of substance whether it be pot, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol or any other substance to calm or stimulate yourself could be against the rules of golf as far as handicap scoring. True skills and ability make up a big part of golf but mental fortitude is even more of a factor. This being said, to use an outside influence to take the "tension" out of your swing could be questionable..

Obviously, this would be policed solely by the player...

I am a great believer that taking a few cans of beer on to the golf course is very much a part of the culture of the game. It's meant to be a sociable game, and also meant to be fun.

Christ, it's amazing I can pick the bloody thing up !!

The biggest distraction for me is 2 inches long, pink and smells like fish. I would be of been much more productive in my youth if i had never come across(quite literally) that strange little thing. I'm sure many a man could tell a similiar tale. I blame porn. 

Porn has tainted many young mind's altering perspective's and neurochemistry on epidemic proportions.

Yesterday's post inspired me to have a LSD practice day.

Very productive, Many insights into my short game and a few major revelations regarding grip and pelvis on the full swing. Only had chance to do 4 hour's unfortunately but could of kept going all night.

No doubt it has alot to offer anybody looking to improve in any field. Especially technical fields.

I believe LSD is a powerful cognitive enhancer and treat it with the utmost respect. Which is why i never take more than 30mg. Very important.

Timothy Leary did not treat it with respect.

He would consume 800mg+ everyday for months. 

I would not take more than 30mg once or twice a week tops.

Huge Difference

I thought any amount will permanently affect the brain? Not sure what it does, but from what little I've read certain pathways are altered such that creativity increases while logical thinking is reduced. It also causes paranoia. This is why the CIA stopped trying to use it?

BTW, mg is usually milligram, I'm guessing you mean micrograms?

The CIA stopped using it as it made soldiers not want to go and kill people and brought on a sudden awakening that was irreversible. Their's clips on youtube of the soldiers sent out to do a drill on LSD and they end up admiring the tree's and throwing away there gun's, the realisation of what they were really doing hit them. Ritalin/Adderall worked much better at creating mindless killer's who follow order's.

What really happened in the 70's when you sieve through all the government driven propaganda? The government lost control over the people. They taint it with hippie flowery druggy nonsense but people were dissolving ego's and boundaries on huge scales. They were no longer in fear so could no longer be controlled. LSD played a big role in this. 

I have never experienced paranoia on LSD infact the opposite i have a feeling of confidence and assertiveness moreso than normal.

Plus it helped put 40 yards on my driver and was an invaluable tool when i learned Thai

Yes i mean micrograms

 

Lihu i like your pic :-D
