I have always heard folks say that once you step into the course you should not think about the swing and just play. I love that statement. Unfortunately, if I attempt to do that, then we are talking about a good 6 hour round where I will be spending 50% of that time in the woods looking for my ball.
Let me begin by saying that I started playing golf when I turned 30, 6 years ago. To this day, the gold swing is a highly unnatural act for me. Nothing about it makes sense and no amount of practice makes it feel natural. I literally have to think about 4 things when I swing my club in order to hit it somehow straight. The moment I just let go and swing naturally, it becomes over the top city and we are either talking straight pulls to the left or hard slices.
I have spent countless hours practicing and I can hit it straight after doing so, but it never becomes a internalized movement that requires no thinking. Has anyone, not physically gifted, been able to internalize a swing to the point they don't think about it and make beautiful straight shots time after time? If so, please let me know how!
