Birdies....and more birdies....

I'm giving CDman 25 bonus karma points for starting such a great thread which has been getting so much action.

Relaxation...

And now, the REAL way I relax and have a good time on the course can only be summed up by the picture below:


By the way...what is this topic doing in "accessories & apparel"????

Sick and wrong...man do I love it....

I'm shocked T-Man...why is it always about the "GUYS"? Ok, I shouldn't go any further or emails will be heading my way. Please do not email me with suggestion on how "GURLS" can relax.

Let me see if I can get us grounded...

Several years ago, I was a marathon runner...and even though running tends to release stress, running a marathon can be very stressful. I learned to practice getting into a rhythm with my running and breathing and to read my body. About every 5 or 6 miles, I would do a body check...starting with my toes...how do they feel...any feeling of blisters...then my feet, and ankles and calves and knees, how am I holding my arms...are my shoulders tense...am I clinching my jaw...and well you get the picture.

It helped to keep me focused and kept my mental stress manageable. In golf it is metal stress that gets to us...not physical. So, find something you can do with your mind other than freak out about how you are playing...and buy Scott's swingreminders...they really work! They will help you get focused on the shot...spend the rest of the time keeping your head and your body working together...not in conflict.

That is the final lecture from old Scruff...I hope it helps you cdman.
