re: Pre Swing Thoughts

Before I get over the ball its wind, shot shape, etc.

Then I take a couple of practice thinking about the shot shape and my normal swing thoughts (low and slow on the way back, good full turn on the way back, and attacking the ball from the inside).

Finally, when I am over the ball I just lie to myself and my last thought before swinging is to think "you're an athlete be athletic" or "you're better than anyone on this golf course." None of which is true, but I have found that these confident/egotistical lies to myself erase bad thoughts and help me swing with confidence.
