I have had a mental block keeping me from going low/breaking par for my entire life.................
So I tried this today in the rain (wanted a quick 18 ) I played from the red tees and shot 64! also I love this as a drill for finding problem areas,,,, mine is my wedge game, since I dont knock flags from close range. Looking forward to moving back, and then shooting scores from the tips now that I know what it feels like
I can't remember who told me this, but they were close to Nicklaus and his family and this person swore that Nicklaus used to make sure that he played a round or two off the reds at his home course before a big tournament because he wanted to get that mindset of 'scoring.'

Only if he sets the pins The forward tees advice is so counter-inutitive is MUST be the way to go. I remember catching bush limbs on my backswing as a junior trying to play every course as penalizing as possible. This has helped me with my youngsters. In addition to forward tees (as those who usually only tee it up if there is "something on line" know well) I recommend adding a matchplay component to your regular games. I am all about medal play, but nothing snuffs enthusiasm for a round than a quad on the first hole! With matchplay you are merely one down! The unifying idea here is that confidence must be preserved at all costs. A common trait amongst winners is their ridiculous disregard for the perecieved reality of those around them i.e. they explain success and failure in a very different way than the also-rans. Martin Seligman called it "explanatory style" in Learned Optimism Unfortunately, I am a die-hard "realist!" If some one filled my house with horse manure I would lament the fact that I am a victim of a cruel prank as opposed to diving in head first in search of a pony!
was going to post my question here but have posted it in a new thread Golf Gnome.
