“In much the same way, a golfer who fears failure – as most amateurs and mini professionals do, at least some of the time – tends to think about how he takes the club back how far he turns, how he cocks his wrist, how he starts the downswing, or other swing mechanics Inevitably he will tend to lose whatever grace and rhythm nature has in doubt him with, which leads to inconsistent shot making with every club, from the driver to the putter.”

The point here is to not overthink things, as too many thoughts just get in the way. I tagged

before, and am doing it again, because he was the first to teach me to hold onto only one or two swing thoughts…. Trust your natural swing, remind yourself of the one or maybe two things you’re working on. And then let go and hit the ball.

It’s definitely helped me play better, and it’s also helped me to enjoy my rounds much more!
