Yes, any thinking about mechanical things on the course is counterproductive.
I find that
awareness is something totally different. If I am relaxed and aware at address of 'connectivity' and of course target, then the swing can flow free.
It is good to see instructors emphasising 'target' as it seems to be the problem that confronts hackers that their focus is on the ball or mechanical things, not the target.
I taught a fifty year old lady yesterday who was 'hacking' on the practice range how to swing freely to the target in ten minutes. She had quite an acceptable swing at the end of it. She said she had been playing for a year, had had a couple of lessons from the pro which made it worse and was ready to give the game away.
She looked quite athletic at the finish of the instruction, and thanked me profusely. What do you think the secret was?
