golfphans - pick the hole 5 hr Furyk chokes the chicken
500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.
Yeah, he was awesome all day on his approach shots.
Furyk did bogey last 2 holes like I thought he would. So did dufner but he played them smart and protected his lead.
I'm gonna change my approach to shots to that dufner waggle waggle waggle and then snap hook my shots into the woods instead. It'll be a nice Change from my current "practice swing practice swing snap hook into the woods"

I just love Dufner's tee shot because he dosen't lift his right leg. It's a thing of beauty on that swing.
I never understood the value of a pre-shot routine ... but every pro has one.
Now I get it.
On a recommendation from a good player I know, I read a book by a sports psychologist who works a lot with golfers (named Bob Rotella) ... it appears that the reason you do it is that it's supposed to get you in a place where you have the "physical" feel you want before you hit.
That, then, supposedly keeps you from thinking mechanical thoughts during the swing and just keeps you focused on hitting your target.
The routine isn't the key ... waggle smaggle ... it's whatever gets you set mechanically so you don't think about anything but the target after you're set up.
That'll be 60 dollars ... I take credit cards.
Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.
Muscle memory is what you do in every sport but in golf you have too long to think about it so the preshot routine supposedly gets you in the right mindset so you don't think about it.
