Re: I know I can - but still I don't do it.

(Ian and Greg - I did not do exactly what you suggested, but thinking of your comments helped me to try something - like videotaping my swing. So even I did not do what you wrote, your suggestions were triggers for me to start looking for solutions. - I think I found something, but that's just first step - and might lead to bigger trouble:-)

I had an interesting round today. I tried not thinking and make a 12 on a par 5. I did not expect to top or pull any shots, but I did.

I returned to my own routine and I started to find my swing.

I did videotape my swing and after looking at it, I think I can fix some parts. My head goes up in the end of my back swing, because I take my hands a little to much behind my back. (Hands are not lined up whit my heal, but 10 cm back. - I don't have "room" to get my club up - so I lift my upper body. This is an extra movement that might case more variation to my swing.)

Under stress I might lift my head more than otherwise ... and this might be one explanation. OK - I need to practice under pressure.

And a I think my pre swing routine is more about feeling my body and getting it relaxed than not thinking about anything.
