I have posted so often about the ongoing problems with my game such as total excitment with a perfect swing, to a total break down. Achieving a dream round only to follow with nightmare round. All along I have been craving an answer to the extreme changes and how it comes about. Well, on the advice of a trusted member i reluctantly sought the view of a new coach. Having explained my problem to him he simply said: "if you want to succeed at this game you have to enjoy it. Asking him to elaborate further his answer to me was that i was too nervous about my end result, which in turn was creating tension through my body. Even though I have perfect fundamentals, unless I can accept to swing the club through the ball with a "relaxed enjoment I have no chance of returning to where I once was. Only when focusing on my body tension did I come to realise that I was far from relaxed. When I told myself to relax and just hit it from takeaway to finish the result was ther to see. he also told me that we must not look on nerves as the enemy, but an indication that we must turn off our negative thoughts and enjoy the next four hours on the course. Try and remember that this is just a path from a to b i.e. tee box to hole . The hard part is trusting in ourselves to do it, believing in ability, and accepting the consequences good or bad. I hope this thread will help anybody who suffers this problem like me. As and from today, I am going to try and "enjoy" this game and believe that the above statement is the key to what we all strive for.
