Funny - in regards to thinking- I thought before I posted that it was somewhat odd- or not quite the norm - that an athlete such as yourself would be drawn to TGM- normally you guys just do it (No I'm not talking NIKE here!)

Here is my additional advice to your follow-up post. While you might think that - "Hey! All this thinking is just holding back my natural ability- therefore let's not think so much"- nothing could be further from the truth. Although, believe me I understand the feeling. In fact, you may have already gone back and forth on those two philosophys many times in your golfing career. Certainly if you're at a fork in the road and you've got to decide- "Do I go down the left hand road and just use my athletic ability" or "do I go down the right hand road and try to figure out and consciously apply movement concepts to swing a golf club"- You know the left hand road will look the easiest and in fact when you're on it it'll seem the easiest- but then at some point when you don't get better you've got to apply some knowledge- anotherwords you need to get back on that other road. When you start to think and apply knowledge and you don't get any better then after some time on that road you're thinking "This isn't helping - I need to get back on the other road"-The Athlete Road- "why am I mentally and physically "forcing" myself to do this when I'm getting worse or not getting better!" So you switch back over to the athlete non-thinking road. Well you get the picture. In summary- my advice- "struggle my friend!" - Take the road less traveled~!

That's probably exactly what I needed to hear. I have no problem with thinking things through, I guess I just needed someone to tell me that's what I ought to be doing. By the way, how can you continually post from the trunk of Bucket's car? Seriously though, I will happily take the road less traveled (so you're into poetry, too?) if that is what I must do. Also, I tried to work on some of what you and Yoda said I needed to work on, and I was quite pleased with the results. I should have some new swings up tonight. Thanks for everything!
