I think that learning to avoid distractions is a continual work in process. I've enjoyed some success over the last few years - I don't think my swing has changed it's just that I can relax and play the right shot at the right time. I'm better able to deal with distractions and don't get effected as much. But I'm far from perfect. I still have a long way to go. My advice is to stick to the automatic process and keep swinging freely. It gets easier over time. Further. I think Tiger is the best at coping with distractions and not letting things get in his way. He has plenty of talent but he does more with it than what anyone ever could. Let me know of your progress. Cameron Hi Richard,

Thanks for your email.

I think that learning to avoid distractions is a continual work in process. I’ve enjoyed some success over the last few years – I don’t think my swing has changed it’s just that I can relax and play the right shot at the right time. I’m better able to deal with distractions and don’t get effected as much.

But I’m far from perfect. I still have a long way to go.

Further.

I think Tiger is the best at coping with distractions and not letting things get in his way. He has plenty of talent but he does more with it than what anyone ever could.

Let me know of your progress.

In the case or your match it was the cutting of the greens at a time that was unexpected and apparently caused you to get a bit off balance or move off automatic. Distraction is my number 1 enemy to playing good golf. Example Just as I am about to make your stroke a member of the group starts to move his cart. Or perhaps an insect appears and rests on my ball. Whatever.. I think you need a plan to deal with this stuff. At least I know about the effects of distraction on me and I try to deal with it. It's hard. Thanks to you my mental approach is better than before and I am doing better in competition. Getting Frustrated…for me equals getting Distracted with a Capital D.
