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?"

Re: Thinking too much?
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.Originally posted by BrianW View PostI think whats worse is thinking about thinking
Now that is overdoing the thinking.

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.Comment

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".Comment

So, is it fair to say...
"I don't think... Therefore, I am not...!!!"

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

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.Last edited by BrianW; 02-09-2009, 11:05 PM.Comment

Re: Thinking too much?
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!Comment
