Re: Do we talk the talk but fail to walk the walk ??????

I'll tell you something, Andy. I think I've actually enjoyed my golf most this year when I've thought less about my swing and more about playing the game.

It has taken me quite a lot of discipline, because I'm quite analytical by nature, but I've definitely found that swing thoughts are bad for me on the course.

What I do do (I said do do:p) is look down the fairway a wee bit longer than I used to and identify where the ball should go and how. Then I let my brain work it out itself. If that means a draw to avoid the right side of the course or a fade to avoid the left then I just keep that thought and let my body do the rest. It seems to work more than it used to. I don't care how it gets there anymore so long as it leaves me in a nice position for the next one. I'm playing not swinging.
