When it all goes to hell in a handbag we become defensive and make up bs stories as to why we shot what we did. I'm glad I'm not the only one to have gone through this. If it is of help to anybody, when ever I'm distracted, doubt my decision, don't feel right over the shot,I put the club back in the bag, go through my routine again and pull the trigger. It takes a lot of guts, discipline and mental toughness to do it. However the results and mindset are better for 2 reasons. 1. You have given yourself the best oppurtunity to hit the shot that you know is required. There is no thinking "If only I had of ...." 2. The result is proberbly 100% better than standing over the ball paraylised by fear, doubt or anxiety. I hope this helps. Remember scars are found on heroes not cowards. It takes guts and self discipline to walk away from a shot when you are not comfortable. Cheers Steady PS Cam will ring on Monday regarding video. Hi Cam,
expectations and addition to find out what you need to shoot is a major distraction. When it all goes to hell in a handbag we become defensive and make up bs stories as to why we shot what we did. I’m glad I’m not the only one to have gone through this.

Cheers Lukey Hi Cam
