If your swing thought is
"Please don't let me
screw up"
to say the least, you have a confidence problem... which will feed on itself...
and you will screw up.
The process should be:
Engage Brain
decide what to
do.
Disengage Brain
hit the ball.
It's called a Pre-shot Routine. Develop one and use it before every
shot.
Stand behind the ball and
-
Think about the next
shot... not this one. Where do
you want your next shot to be from? That's your target for this
shot.
-
Choose the club you need to easily
reach the target...
(hit an easy #7 iron instead of a
hard #8)
-
pick a spot on the ground along
the target line...one or two feet in front of your
ball.
-
approach the ball and take a relaxed practice swing
-
keep your eyes on the spot on
the ground...
-
address the ball... Square
yourself along the line between the ball and
your spot.
Now...
Disengage Brain... and hit the ball.
With the thinking done... You can relax and make a smooth
swing.
A lot to remember? Practice it until it becomes automatic.
