All good suggestions. I know some people don't like Dr. Bob Rotella anymore but I learned a lot from his books (Golf is not a game of perfect etc.). He talks about having a routine that you follow on every shot and if you don't follow it or something distracts you, back off. He talks about game plan and attitude. The biggest thing I got from him was about how short game and putting are like defense and free throws in basketball. The truly great teams do those things well. Often these little things will help a team with inferior talent come out on top. Full swing mechanics are only part of the equation.

I completely agree.
The Conscious Mind programs precision Golf Stroke Mechanics into the Subconscious Mind.
Not a huge concept: Your Conscious Mind taught your Subconscious Mind to tie your shoelaces. Since then, your Subconscious has delivered -- on command and in the blink of an eye -- all its Conscious programming. The end result is that your shoelaces get tied every morning with zero conscious thought.
That's a good thing.
But, there is a third element to be considered. Namely . . .
The Self Image.
Born of countless experiences, you now 'act like you'.
Your 'comfort zone' behavior alwayslags the ongoing improvement. Thus, for those who would accelerate the process, conscious training in this mental 'catch-up' effort is a must.
Here's the deal:
When your skills are there, and you are ready to win . . .
Your Self Image must be ready to accept that reality.

Train it then TRUST it. Subconscious control like this guy
Not that I have a lot of tournament experience but I always played well when I had one swing thought. I always played my BEST when I just went through my routine, look at the target and go. Sometimes I could still see the target in my mind. Focus on routine and take dead aim.
