| Re: Sand wedge problem
Robert when I was having problems from those distances I slowed down my takeaway and it helped my downswing immensely. Also, if I am having problem with a club I put it away for a while so that I don’t fixate and further ingrain the particular problem. I am a bit of a club junky so it is easy to replace problematic clubs. Once my confidence comes back, I find I have a better result with that club that used to hound me. Finally, I force my self to think positive and deliberately. A famous actor, Jack Lemmon, used to put himself in the proper mindset when about to film an important role by saying to himself “it is magic time..” and off he would go with a good result. For important shots when I am close to the green, I think to myself, ‘textbook” as in this shot will be technically sound and I put myself at ease, keep the fundamentals in line and make a lot fewer mistakes. Good luck. James |
