Thanks for the advice. The answer is i have no idea why i do this except to try and improve. I spent a couple of hours on the practice fairway this evening working on the theory dont think about it. I didnt go as far as to make phone calls in between shots however instead of working on a particular part of my swing as i always do i stepped back looked at my target walked up to the ball and hit it. I figure that if i spend a few weeks doing this on the practice fairway i may end up doing this naturally. If this does not work i will try the more radical approach. I must say i did make better contact with the ball doing this and it felt sweeter of the face.
