I have talked to very few tour players that have much of any mechanical thoughts when playing tournaments. They obviously practice certain things, but when in tournament situations they are pretty much on automatic. They are probably not totally blank, but may be pretty close.

They are letting their COMPUTER take care of things concerning their swing. Most go through a routine... that activates their COMPUTER, then they look and go.

I do know one fellow that plays at a very high level... that says he plays with as many as 3 or 4 thoughts. He lead the U.S. Open after two rounds one year.
