On Sat I played AT Narrandera off the back plates. Shot 78 ( iahven't broken 80 in 13 outings) and did it easy. The reason being is that I played that whole course with my gentle fade. Yes a fade. I pro who had given over 1000's lessons told me I fade the ball. I thought crap I usually snap hook it. But once I tried to stop playing straight/draw, fidddling with my swing out on the course and just play naturally it all came together. This is a great lesson to learn is try and gamble now and again but only when the odds are more in your favour. I'll keep in touch. Cheers John Stead Hi Cam,

Cam - I am currently trying to play much more gently right the way through the bag at the moment in an attempt to lessen the pressure on my back. I would be interested to hear your comments.

I recall you saying that one should hit about 3 conscious thinking shots when practising something new and then go automatic with it for 3 or so shots. In your case belting the ball is 'natural' for you so altering this on certain occasions could be seen as going against what is your normal game. I think this needs some explaining particularly as you encourage us to go auto. I know it is different for you at your level but some of us do like to try things in the continuous pursuit for improvement and stability in our swing - is this not what you are doing right now, striving to improve on your plus 3 handicap? I repeat, what are your thought processes currently? Do you talk to yourself before you cross that approach line to the ball? Do you say I must swing at x% of normal power with a slower swing or shorter swing and then walk up? Are you counting or thinking of something different. I am sure all of us ?devotees would like to hear these thoughts. Prydie Cam,
