mechanics to feel : translating vs true fluency, practice vs play

So OB, how did your season wind up?
I was 0h fer two on title defenses. Had a couple of really goods rounds in tournaments but they were the wrong tournaments.... Unless the member guest suddenly achieves major status. How many M.G.s does Tiger have again? Jack? Mens nights? Mixed two balls?
I think it was the operator more than the machine that was at fault. You know, pilot error. But, Im currently laying the ground work for a season of mass destruction ........hell hath no furry like a lag pressure point scorned kind of stuff. Im going all feel when it counts , gonna play instead of practice when trying to shoot a score if you know what I mean. Sounds obvious but it easier said than done I have discovered.
Im thinking its like a translation of any kind.......you gotta let it go and trust it, think in french instead of translating into french all the time, eh? Well thats the plan anyways. You guys in Alberta dont translate into French much I know but.... how bout petro dollars into T- Bones or something.
I'm with Bear and find there are lessons to be learned from all this snow this year.
I have found that if I bend at the hips a little more and keep my back straighter rather than rounded, I can shovel much longer with less undesired consequence on the back. It even helps stretch the hamstrings a little and you can throw the snow a little higher and further.
I'm thinking this should pay dividends to the golf swing.

Jerry,
Dig deep and make sure you go Down, Out and Forward to Low Point!
Yeah - feel is good when you have it. At the end of the season I was playing with the gangsome - mis-hit my second on a par 5 - dead behind a stand of pines in the middle of the fairway. One guy gets everyone to come over - "let's watch Kirk get outta this. Another guy says 'tell me exactly what you are going to do'. I said it would be a 2 barrel punch with angle hinge - bunted a gripped down 6 iron over a 4 ft high shrub - under the 6 ft high bottom branches of the pines - with a little cut to about 3 ft from the pin from 95 yds - made the bird. There just might be something to this TGM stuff - there are now 3 guys that I play with that are asking questions about it.
Think I might have seen that on t.v. .....you had a black shirt on , lots of pine trees, Bones was handed you a 6 iron.......and then there was this big roar...
