I have been practicing a lot...have had a range membership for 3 years (the entire time- 1095 days) on top of my course membership. In my opinion, there is no other way to develop your swing if you want to actually be able to take your swing to the course and fulfill your full potential...unless you're one of those lucky, gifted, freak-weirdos who was actually born with a golf swing (the majority of us have to do it the hard way...natural athlete or not). As for going on automatic...read The Double Connexxion by Carey Mumford. Awesome, awesome book man. Really is very detailed, unique, groundbreaking stuff... http://clearkeygolf.com/director.htm Read some of the articles on his site to get a taste. There's great stuff in the 'GolfBlog' section as well as the "Archives" section. Actually teaches you to manage your anxiety...gives methods and explains the whole process in detail. Nothing is generalized. I have always been a technical player and methodical guy in general...TGM is a gift from God as far as I'm concerned. Knowledge is power. -Paul birdie_man View Public Profile Send a private message to birdie_man Find all posts by birdie_man
