    Paul,
    I do a weird thing like one continuous hum or whistle while I take back. For some reason that keeps me loose and relaxed. I make a kind accelerating sound like a kid playing with a toy airplane. Weird but so far it has never failed me.

      Wade,

      If it works keep doing it. Good one.

    Hi Paul, isn’t it better to count to three with some rhythm? Like the waltz rhythm (as Sam Snead said in his memories) in order to concentrate on rhythm rather than mechanics?

    Or as I have recently read, saying “Er- nie -Els” loud is another way of thinking of rhythm and not mechanics, being “Er”, takeaway, “nie” top of the backswing and “Els” hitting the ball

    Does it make sense?

    I am guilty of standing over the ball and freezing and it does impact the shot. I don’t do it on the range, only on the course. I decided to go out and play just by myself, no competition, not worrying about the score, and focus only on pulling the trigger and it worked. I did this at least 3 times and my scoring immediately improved. I also find golfing with complete strangers helps because I am more conscious of not standing over the ball vs playing with friends. I have convinced myself that standing over the shot too long is going to result in a bad shot, so I might as well set up and swing and TRUST the mechanics will be there. I will try your method to build it in as a routine

      Randy,

      That’s good news that you recognized that standing over it too long is hampering your swing. Just pull the trigger. Work on things on the range and eventually they will go into your swing when you play.

    Paul,
    I have a question unrelated to a specific tip. When you actually hit the ball with the driver in almost any of these tips, how far does it go? Just curious.

    Thanks for everything,
    Len

      Len,

      I fly it usually between 260 and 280. With good roll 300+.
