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

Started2k3,

I love your post, one thing I did mention is the clear mind is for the split second it takes to hit the ball, when you are a child you learn how to walk, climb etc simply by making mistakes now you do all these things daily without concious thought.

I have a thought for Hannu.

Take a 4 inch wide beem placed along the ground, you could walk it's length with no problems at all, I bet you could do it carring a pint of beer and even drink it half way.

Now lift the beem 10 ft in the air, all over sudden you stop trusting your instincs and start looking at your feet, looking at the beem, stretching your arms out, worrying etc etc etc as for the pint no chance..........!!!

Food for thought.

Ian.

You must let go to play.
