Hi, Want to share this most memorable experience with all.
Talking about aiming your sights.
While practicing two days ago on the range I picked up my six iron after hitting a score of wedge shots and was busy trying to focus on the bent right wrist through impact and hitting half shots down the middlle of the fairway. Till my eyes fell on a kite ( Smaller version of the eagle) perch itself on a pole which was erected to put a floodlight on at a later date about 140 yds away and twenty yards high on the side of the fairway. In fact I found later that the kites were attracted due to some thing to eat had been left behind by the labour staff during lunch break. So they would prey and come atop the pole to finish their pick one at a time.
It just uccurred to me to try and make the kite my target and try to make them fly by aiming towards them with a golf ball or as close to them as possible. Underestimated my self but>>...........
OH MY GOD!!!! My mental image became so vivid of a ball flying in a straight line to my target that I had never experienced it before. Couldnt beleive that every time a kite perched itself on that pole within two shots i would have it fly off. It was like when I swung the club, EVERYTHING was directed towards that target, though it may have been only the senses.
Went out to play today morning with 'the kite' image and fired away on the course. Direction was prime but couldnt gauge the distance too well. Overshot all approaches, visited places in distance I had never been to on the fairways. I guess timing was real good because of simply clear focus on where one wanted the ball to go and what one wanted the ball to do and it DID.
If I analize at what I was really doing was a visual image of ball flight and a tremendous use of tracing the plane line with the right forearm and watching the club release through the impact area. WHOOOOSH!!!!
Never felt like that before. Play a 4 handicap, felt like I could shoot 65.
Trying to find a putting parallel and some day in the near future you'er going to hear it.
