This is all great stuff my friend. Thanks for everything, with regards to the short game I have the perfect place to go to at my club where no one would see me practise. Think I will go there again and hit many basic and aquired motions until it works.

The Pro at my home club is running a Short Game clinic in the next couple of weeks and I said that I would go to it so that might help me with my quest to improve my pitching as well. Its always good to get another person to have a look to see what I am doing wrong in terms of technique.

HennyBeee . . . Now that you got some data about game and mind . . . how would you suggest organizing practice time when you ain't got much time?
Also . . . do you have any suggestions on implementing swing changes . . . not what changes to make . . . but the best way to practice/drill to make 'em actually happen and be able to make the move on the course?

Holla fo' a $.
Bucket,
I want you to come up with the plan based on the previous posts. Then I'll comment on your plan. Fair? On the move to the course, I'm trying to get some comments on that in the learning golf thread.

Alex,
Sounds great. You have found a weak spot, and you are seeking to address it. Often with these short shots, we have ourselves in a funky address position that makes it difficult to hit the shots we want. Your pro should be able to help with this. Good luck.
The first place I would look is set-up. Make sure that you are giving yourself a chance. Get clear about the type of motion you need to produce. Practice it in the mirror. You have to focus on your motion to improve. You want to turn off the part of your brain that is judging or concerned about what other people might think. My suggestion is to get away from anyone else. Practice where no one else can see you, then give yourself a break. Be patient. Golf is about the journey.
Clearly picturing a bad shot will often result in a bad shot. When this happens, you should acknowledge that you did a good job of translating your picture to your execution. So you need to get better at making good pictures. Often, technical improvement will help. You will find it easier to hit good shots. You may also have to spend some effort training your brain to see better pictures. One trick I use is to picture what a particular great player would do in the situation and try to act that out.
