“Hi Jayne, I’ve started hitting more of these perfect feeling shots you write about. It started with my 4 iron, and just a relaxed swing, well it just flew dead straight, high and beautiful about 170 metres. It was pure joy! So, I consciously tried to recreate the same sensations, with limited success obviously, because the harder you try to relax, the further you get. I slowed down, got a few breaths in and tried to think of nothing, and boom, another 4 iron. Then it started happening with my 7 iron, dead straight, no effort. Then my 8 iron, hybrid etc. It’s such an amazing feeling, and the best way I can describe it is by saying I felt like a passenger, or a spectator in my own body, just watching the shot, with no deliberate input from myself at all during the swing. It’s a really quiet place amid the flurry of moving body parts. You feel your arms go back, then a gentle change of direction…next moment you’re just watching in awe as the ball sails towards your target. It’s amazing. Thank you so much for all your hard work, and for sharing your knowledge with us!”
