This may sound simplistic to some, but I believe that many of us are feel players rather than method players. Obviously most of us will recognize in ourselves that this is a spectrum that we all fall into somewhere. I have noticed players that are 80% method and 20% feel tend to play a better round than say someone who is exact opposite.
The reason that I say that....Well on a range feel golfers are super stars... yeah they hit a couple of bad shots at first then they tweak a little here and there and before you know it they are smashing straight beautiful shots--they just needed time to adjust and feel the shot. On the course, feel players don't have the opportunity for a second try...
I can't count the times that I have hit a shot badly, and then drop a ball and hit the next perfectly...
Method players picture the shot, focus on mechanics, routine---routine---routine... Out on the course they can pull shots off with higher consistency everytime. Obviously a the great players are groved mechs that can picture and feel a shot---lots of practise....
Earlier in this thread some said to get a pre shot routine---great advice. I go to a driving range to work on mechanics, routine, pre shot focus... change
clubs very regularly...play a par five in my mind...driver...8 iron...pitching wedge...---you get the idea.
Hope that helps.
