re: What’s your go-to swing thought?

Golf is a funny thing. I usually get in my head when I’m playing well. Was pacing to break 80 today (+4 through 13) for the first time ever.
I will blame being tired, but all day I was relaxed. And on hole 14 I thought I was relaxed, but realized a few holes later that each time I was over the ball I was REALLY thinking about my swing mechanics. Like thinking about every part of it, and it got to me. Finished the last holes bogey, bogey, double, bogey, double. Ughhhhh.
I thought when I was in position to break 80 I would be trying to keep calm from excitement. But it was the sneaky swing thoughts that got me.
Maybe next time!

Yeah I have learned the hard way not to try to swing perfect. I know how to mimic more technically sound golf swings but for some reason it feels weird and makes me uncomfortable, so if I try to focus on one thing and let autopilot take over I’m more successful. I have no idea why.

Keep my left arm straight (I'm right handed). Have a bad habit of bending it way too much when I'm golfing bad and this swing thought brings me right back.

“Christie” Backswing
“Brinkley” Impact and follow through
Works like a charm.

Stay on plane.
90+ percent of my troubles are because of going over the top and cutting across the ball at impact.
BTW - 7.3 HDCP at 61 years old.

Start the swing with opening my right shoulder (right handed golfer).
I mean this in the nicest possible way so that you will potentially not do this - this is maybe the worst possible swing thought I can imagine
