I am not talking about where you are going to hit the ball etc.

I am talking about, whats going on in your head.

Do you sing a song.... Do you empty your head of thought.......

My assistant pro has a wee tune he thinks of.

I have never given it much thought before. lol

Might give it a try.
 
Once I have got the shot lined up I want to play and the shape I want to hit I think about my target and only my target.

I'm usually thinking, " i wish that Fella would get a move on and play his shot"

Once I have looked at where I want to hit and addressed the ball, normally I just say to myself....."low, slow and let it go!!!" or in other words take it back nice and low to create a wide arc with a smooth rhythm, then accelerate the club through the ball and hit it.
 
I like that.
Might steal it.

Bit more helpful than my usual thought of LESS.
(less height, less backswing, less speed...)

Edit - forgot to quote - the low slow and let it go line
 
"Don't hold back", usually. It's too easy to try to be too careful and end up losing my swing. At the range I just stand there and smack it straight, just have to keep that relaxed feeling on the course.
 
I normally have a tune in my head for the round, some work for me, some don't..................

John Legend's "Lifted" worked a treat last Saturday for an 8&7 victory.

But, after an early morning TV session with my daughter.........The Wiggles' "quack quack, cocka doodle doo" led to a 5&4 ass kicking.
 
First tee I'll always light up a smoke, relax as there's no pressure, think about all sorts. The family, football, work, holidays, the week just gone etc etc. There's always banter to occupy the mind too.
 
? welly it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I'm not allowed to think about where I'm going to try and hit the ball (which is exactly what I'm thinking..) then it's go to be .. um .. dunno.
That's 100% of my mental energy (where I'm trying to hit the ball).....


What else is there? Food? Sex? the nice ducks? Quality of the daffodils?
