One more point I thought of that fits into this: "Learn feel from mechanics." Good idea on the course I think. Try getting the feel (from mechanics) during your practice swings...then keep loose and feel-oriented and take that to the ball.

So you're saying that when you get to the course, you should ideally have it to the point where you are relying purely on feel??? (the feel you have developed and grooved it on the range by "learning feel from mechanics")

In other words...on the course, focus purely on feel unless it starts to go bad...then go back to mechanics to try and disgnose it??

How much should you even use mechanics on the course?

What do u think Lynn?
