The score was average but it could have been lower as I made a few 3 putts. I had a practice round of 18 holes for the first time in 4 weeks and felt a bit rusty but I hit some very good shots (shot 78 off the stick) but I putted very well having 27 putts. I took the "I don't care attitude" approach and it worked reasonably well. I think I still have a long way to go in being fully automated but it feels like I'm getting there Cameron

Played a round in an open , with no expectations other than try to enjoy. came in with a decent score . Then shot the best score i have ever carded the following weekend and lost a stroke. What you say makes sense to me, although at times i still tend to think over the ball. Thanks for your help. Cameron,

Cheers Lukey Cam and the steady’s

I get called fryer tuck by my inlaws. BTW I'm sure once you come to understand about going automatic your game has to improve. Why because your subconscious is playing not your analytical/critising self playing. Cheers and all the best. Steadyoz PS Tony stick with it. ESteady,

My fault not yours. Yes, you can use your conscious mind to work out club selection, wind, rain, distance ....anything. But you need to go automatically when you hit the ball. When you really get into the flow you can play many shots entirely automatically. This includes club selection and reading greens. This is the master level and really is like magic. I will be honest. I have ever intention of making a profit one day from this info. You guys have got in early and are helping me make a better product. Believe me, you're helping me more than me you. Thanks for your offer - feel free to donate to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal or maybe something in Italy after the earthquake. I may ask you guys to provide video or audio testimonials down the track. SteadyOz could be in real trouble. Good golfing, Cameron Esteady,

I'm now glad we all persevered. Shame there aren't more of us though, don't you think? Can't believe that you, Cam, Lukey and me are the only ones who watch this Blog! Yeah, just the nicknames being the same was a coincidence but if we are that similar that is quite freaky. All I can say is that I hope your not as bald as I am!!!!!!!!!! Shame we're all so far apart. I bet we would make an interesting 4 ball. Cheers ESteady Hi Steady(Oz)

Our chats are definitely beginning to sink in! So what you're saying is that I can analyse as much as I like provided that I let go and play automatic for the few seconds it takes to play each shot!!! Now I've got it! This is very similar to the 'Think Box. Play Box.' used by Annika Sorenstam's mentors Pia Nilsson and Lyn Marriott. I really like their take on learning to play golf and there are a lot of parallels with your method. I was misinterpreting things in that I was trying to allow everything to be automatic, i.e club selection, shot shape, green reading, the whole works!!!! Just confirm one more thing for me and I will go away and practice (mentally) and leave you alone to work on your other projects! I may be wrong (yet again!) but in your Perfect Putting System don't you say that a golfer effectively does not have to read the green because the subconcious will do that for him/her? This is basically what I have been trying to do with my game as a whole and certainly in competition it has not been effective. If you can confirm that the only time I need to go automatic is for the duration of the shot itself I will feel more comfortable and I'm sure I will be able to re-commit to trying this again in competition. Once again, thanks for all your time and effort. You must really love all this to give your time for free. I'm sure all the other Tribers are equally as grateful as I am for the opportunity to hear from someone who clearly knows what they are talking about and is not trying to brainwash us into purchasing their product. Do you have a favourite charity to which I might make a small donation in return for your efforts? Cheers ESteady Hi Cameron
