what's the weirdest thing you've tried to fix your swing?

After 3 weeks of driving poorly, today I tried something new on the course. I got to the 10th and and set the ball up outside my front foot. Turned the club slightly in my hand to close the face and then relaxed with the face 10 inches behind the ball..... result = 280 yard drive down the middle.

This continued for the rest of the round.... good times.

I bet you won't be doing that in two weeks time. All the silly things I have tried have not lasted long. If you can think it I have tried it...

Fanning open the face on takeaway by rolling the wrists clockwise, gave me wonderfully crisp iron shots and beautiful drives, hit all fairways and missed only 2 greens in an Open, two 3 putts saw a 2 over round. Lasted a week then back to normal

Weirdest thing I tried was the local pro. Bugger me, it worked ne:

I've only found the 'boring' stuff useful- staying connected, on plane, good posture etc.

Too many great golfers have good fundamentals, weird tricks are not the solution.
