Quite correctly described as the most important 6 inches in golf, the space between the ears has a vital bearing on every aspect of play. No matter how routine, the same shot can attract either a burst of supreme confidence or waves of self doubt. Here is our own version of shrinks online. Hope it helps! |
From Butch Harman
Hit Through the Hula Hoop If you become nervous when staring down a tree-lined fairway, often making a bad swing and mishitting the shot, change your "outlook." Imagine a big hula hoop about five feet in front of you that you are going to hit the ball through. This task is a heck of a lot simpler than focusing on a target some 220 yards down the fairway. For this reason, you'll be super-relaxed when you look back down at the ball, make a good swing and, coincidentally, hit your distant target. ...and Butch again -When on the 6th hole, stay on the 6th hole. From English Ladies National Coach Andy Dunbar Best course management tip: “Never have to play 2 recovery shots in a row” would be my advice to readers on course strategy. If you are in trouble get the ball back into play. Big numbers come from big gambles where the risk outweighs the reward. |
