Spring mantras

Ahh -- the early signs of spring are returning to Oklahoma!

What will be your mantra for spring golf his year?

Mine will be about putting rhythm:

1 - slight forward press of wrists to initiate the stroke
2 - take club head straight back low and slow
3 - try to see spot on the grass where ball was lying after hitting it
4 - hold follow through at least 3 seconds before looking up at the ball.

Re: Spring mantras

For putting:
  • Relax
  • Hole
  • Go
For everything else:
  • Relax
  • Center
  • Head Down
Basically I want my conscious mind out of the hitting equation, and this is what works for me.
