Apologies to Bob Rotella and for the double negative. No, I’m not sure if it makes sense either but never mind.
Following on from my previous post about knowing when you’re about to hit a good shot, this is the opposite.
It’s amazing, isn’t it how easily it is to be distracted from hitting your shot? And then by not giving it full attention you hit a poor one.
In the last couple of games I’ve;

  • Missed a 2′ foot putt because a beetle crawled on my line!
  • Sliced a drive because the wind was blowing my cap.
  • Driven OOB ‘cos a greenkeeper was waiting to cut the tee.
  • Topped a drive because wasn’t sure of the line and, therefore, the club to hit.
  • Missed a fairway because the sun was in my eyes.
  • Hooked OOB because I was irritated by slow play!

The common theme in all these is an indecision or distraction that has prevented me committing to the shot.

When will I ever learn?????????
