Greg thks for your thoughts on this matter, i like your approach to the game and have read many of your posts, which have helped me.

The one thing i can say does work for me is if i start with a forward press and then nice easy take away with shoulders dragging arms and in turn hands into position and then pulling (like ringing a bell with left arm). works well with irons, 8 iron 160-170. But with the driver this same approach gives me a consistant slice. My istructor tells me i tend to pull my left shoulder open causing an out to in swing.

This is just one of the many swing thoughts i have, even when i am sleeping, let alone when i am playing, so i am trying to find a swing thought that works with the driver to get me in to out and rid me of the slice.

but that being said i think i will try to force myself to rest up my mind and body and hopefuly re gain some of my feel and of course confidence which i find helps me a lot, as when i am playing well this game almost seems too easy.
I think i will try to remind my self that golf is not a game of perfect.
