Re: Why is it that we "lose" a shot we thought was ingrained?

To play golf at a consistantly high level, everytime you play is pretty much highly improbable. Even the best pros in the world can't play up to their capabilities week in, and week out. We all have our "A" games, and we all have B,C, & D games. Some days our mental focus is not up to par, but we might get by with a physical game that allows us to score well. Other days it could be just the opposite. Some days the weather might impact our golf game, while other days course conditions will have positive, or negative impact on us. Little things in our personal, or work lives, a way from golf, can have an impact on how we play.The days we play extrememly well, both our mental, and physical golf game is hitting on all cylinders. These are the days we are "in the zone" so to speak.

I know I always see people practicing golf swings at the various ranges when I pull over to play a round. But, I often wonder how many of those golfers while physically hitting balls, are also practicing the mental aspect of their game. Swing practice is great, but thinking about, and hitting "golf shots" will be a better use of practice time. GJS
