      Re: Thinking too much?

      I once heard a person explain about thinking about your own golf swing. He said "when thinking about your swing it was ok to ask your self questions". He went on to say "it is ok to answer your own golf swing questions". The problem that developed after this self question, and answer session is when you. after the shot at hand, then asked yourself: "Huh?"

        Aye you're right Brian; mind you, to prove your point regarding thinking about thinking, they've got another clip set in a philosophy school where the sceptics and the pragmatists discuss whether its is possible to put spin on a chip, and if it is possible, whether you even should.

        Now that is overdoing the thinking.

          Yes, I get the same problem when I think about blinking, it makes me blink but the interesting point (and not a lot of people know this) is when I blink I dont think I think

            My best putts have consistently been stand behind my ball and see the ball and the hole, give a quick look, then step up, quick look at the hole and stroke it. No practice strokes, no nothing. I've made more putts from 60+ feet this way that it's ridiculous. You let go because there's no point in thinking or analyzing, you just 'hope to be close' and give it a rap.

              Hey Ben, you're a Canuck not a Yank so you don't have to pretend that Oz is worth quoting.

              Next up you'll claim "I love Lucy" has some vaguely redeeming comedic value.

              Mind you I'm prejudiced, for years, given the sound system in my home town cinema, I thought the Tin Man was singing "If I only had an arse".

                  No. My thinking is so-so at best.

                    So, is it fair to say...

                        Naughty, Moi?

                        You misjudge me my old mate

                        Merely an innocent observation. Hope all well with the offspring and grand-offspring.

                        Mine doing fine, t'lad has now played RL for the uni as well as RU for the college so (as he says) he can always claim he's played Blue's Sport.

                          Real and funny rugby eh! Nice to hear he is doing well at Oxford, what a great place to be playing the game.

                          Our US division are over the end of the month for two weeks, we are all taking a short holiday in Pembrokeshire and my Daughter in Law wants to visit Oxford. She hopes the Grandson will go to Uni there one day.

                            Obviously a lady of taste and discernment, not only in her choice of father-in-law but more importantly in prefering Oxford to the other place.

                            FYI and planning, if she wants to see the place in full flow, this term finishes on March 14th.

                            I'll be picking mine up on the Sat or Sun, be a laugh to pass each other along Turl Street!
