Especially when you're warming up before a round.


I know most people try to have one or two. Freddie couples used the same single thought for 3 years once.


This sums up my range time prior to a round.
relax


What are y'all thinkin about?

Center face with irons and wedges. In to out with driver. Tempo with putter. Not specific thoughts/words for each. But that's what I'm focused on and thinking about once I get my lines/alignment.

Don't worry about how it looks before the swing starts, take a simple backswing and focus on making the clubhead hit the ball at the proper trajectory ("hit down on it").

It's not very helpful broad brushed i guess, but it helps me focus on taking a shorter backswing with a deliberate follow through.

FWIW i'm about a 15 handicap with usual rounds in the low 90s and bad putting. But ball striking has been better lately and my last 3 rounds are 85 or lower.

For driver I think about getting my right shoulder back as far as I can. (but I'm rebuilding my stance/posture so I'm all over the place right now)

For irons I think about letting my left knee start my downswing.

Wedges I'm thinking about getting a good tempo through impact.

Putting I'm focused on pace.

Fire hips.

I have a bad habit of swinging with my upper body.

Is the cart girl working?
Does she have enough Miller Lite?
Did I grab my extra pack of cigs out the car?
Where the frick did I put my keys?
What's our tee time again?
Holy shite I finally hit the center after 25 shots

Work on hitting an 8 iron 100 yards. You'll hit more shots solid and they'll go your intended distance.

Stand on edge of pool-toe pressure
Force clubface to watch ball on takeaway
Do not raise head-feel as though dipping down
Do not get to parallel
Keep nose behind ball
Do not release
Hit the ball in front of the ball.

Damn, no wonder I hit it fat.

I warm up starting with knock down/punch 9 irons to 110. Helps me keep my hands in front and hitting down. It's actually something you can do with any club.

Swing through, extend through impact. Don't rise up, right arm extending past impact.

Solid contact every damn time.

I just think about where I'm aiming. I literally do not think of anything else at all. Just the target.


This sums up myself as well. Bad things happen when I start thinking about specific swing motions.
