I know the conventional wisdom is to think conscious swing thoughts when you are practicing, then when you are playing to turn that off and just react and play naturally. But I think that got me into a trap today.
I've been doing S&T for a few months now, have been playing great, but still have to remind myself of the basics. Today, I think I got a little too comfortable on the course, and some old habits crept back in, resulting in some terrible shots. Once I started to remind myself to tilt, keep the weight forward, do the 2.8 swing, etc., then I got back on track. I guess it's a continuous learning process, and a few months isn't long enough for these movements to be totally ingrained for me yet.
Thanks for the reply, Tom. I will check out those books.
I think for now, till the new swing is more ingrained, I feel like I need to have one swing thought. Today, I was doing it with zero, and 40 years of old habits crept back in.
