Machines have feelings too!
The problem us weekenders have is that we can make it happen on the range but the course is far more demanding. So when the wheels come off on a shot, we immediately go into mechanics mode to make the appropriate adustments and then move on to the next series of shots while still staying in a mechanical mindset. Rather than accepting the shot for what it is and staying in "player mode".

If I may add that what people fail to do is reconnect the proper mechanic with the corresponding "feel." My game went up a notch when I made last step in a "fix" is the indetifiable feel. These days I am completely reliant upon the feel of my right forearm flying wedge. Once I sense the angle that I need to take the right forearm up, back and in and down, out and forward...it is go time! I cannot pull the trigger until I feel/sense that plane of motion. Our feel system is our ultimate reality out there, the good news is that we can engineer it using proper mechanics FIRST.
