Hey, Confidence....Is that you, again?

I won't go into any details about the last two rounds except to note that my scores were in the low 90s. The common theme throughout these rounds was the lack of mental and physical preparation. I'm learning that the nature of my obsessive behavior towards golf in general has somewhat handicapped my performances. Lately, I have been just stepping onto the first tee and letting it rip. So far, I think it's working.

Things that are working
  • Balanced swing, maintain spine angle
  • Staying back on driver
  • Dropping the right shoulder
  • Supination of the left wrist
  • Following pre-shot routine. Lining up to the target line.
  • Reacting to target
  • Inner-convo helps to maintain focus on task at hand.

Things that are not working
  • Thinking too much over the ball
  • Tension at address
  • Doubt
