Re: Putting looking at the hole not the ball

I think Tiger is getting a little mystical
with some of his recent remarks about the
mental game. Jack Nicklaus got into the
same general area when he was king.
Remember Jack's comments on "going to
the movies" as part of pre shot routine?
It's about visualization and imaginative
actualization, and I it must work. Maybe
it is a way of escaping pressure of reality.
Anyway, my comment is that in the midst
of all this, we have to always remember that
there are real lines to see, real breaks
to discern, and real slopes and
distances to be reckoned with. Learning
to perceive the realities is a field in itself,
one that does not require either motivation
or imagination.
