Work on a perfect, straight set-up and simply let go of everything, never mind 3Sks, I have been saying for years on this site "The body is perfectly capable of hitting the ball without you head getting involved" so just look at the ball knowing what is required using the 3SKs and just do it.

Good Luck and 'let go'

Hi Ian -

You know I think you're right, the game used to be easier for me when I didn't think about how my swing looked or whether or not I was getting the right trajectory. 2006 was one of my best years and I really thought I'd take my 7 hcp to scratch by now - instead it has ballooned to a 13.

When I was in single digits, all I did was pick a target, one practice swing, go to the ball and do the same thing. It was almost like Brendt Snedeker (SP?) and how he approaches the game. Maybe reverting back to that could be an option.

The thing I believe about my over thinking this off season is just that - the fact that it is off season and it's when everyone's mind wanders as a result of not being able to hit or play the game. So when I went today, for the first time in two months, and things did not seem to be working, I reverted back to the analytical approach.
