re: What’s your go-to swing thought?

keep my head and spine in the same position as setup. At the very least helps with contact.

Keep the club outside my hands going back, get weight back into my left hip coming through. (Rehearse in my practice swing ; try not to think about anything but the target in my swing)

Head still through impact

Straight back on the take away

I tend to get inside on my takeaway as I get tired and/or lazy

I usually do a practice takeaway before addressing the ball to keep it top of mind

Plenty that can go wrong from there, but usually a good takeaway keeps me in plane, at least

Try to comeback as far as possible and finish my swing

Pick a target and visualize the shot. Of course it won't work every time but it kind of clears everything else out.

Dollar bills.

Hit down. Don't lift

1...set..2...

Keep it smooth, don't try to kill it.
