Machines have feelings too!
 

The problem us weekenders have is that we can make it happen on the range but the course is far more demanding. So when the wheels come off on a shot, we immediately go into mechanics mode to make the appropriate adustments and then move on to the next series of shots while still staying in a mechanical mindset. Rather than accepting the shot for what it is and staying in "player mode".

If I may add that what people fail to do is reconnect the proper mechanic with the corresponding "feel." My game went up a notch when I made last step in a "fix" is the indetifiable feel. These days I am completely reliant upon the feel of my right forearm flying wedge. Once I sense the angle that I need to take the right forearm up, back and in and down, out and forward...it is go time! I cannot pull the trigger until I feel/sense that plane of motion. Our feel system is our ultimate reality out there, the good news is that we can engineer it using proper mechanics FIRST.

Trust it or not.
 

Thanks for the input from everybody. Sorry about Mathew, who is a serious supporter and contributer to the site.

My point of view on this issue is that, like for other things, everybody has their own interpretation or idea about how to:
1. make a body movement,
2. move a club,
3. hit a golf ball or
4. send a golf ball to the target,
which are usually four independent things for (but not limit to) newcomers. For example, they tend to "cast" for 2., "hack" for 3. and "steer" for 4..

They, however, have no problem doing 1. after some training and knowing (or trusting) they can do it and are thinking about doing only 1.. But, trouble arises when they are thinking (or concernning) about 2., 3. or 4, or their combinations. Without the trust or belief that doing 1. (which is the ultimate "cause") can lead to other body movements and 2., which leads to 3., which finally leads to 4., they tend to accomplish 2., 3., or 4. by their own trusty ways (or habits) subconciously, back to casting, hacking and steering, for example, which are no longer doing 1. (despite they surely can accomplish). With the task on hand, it's extremely difficult for people to change to the ways they aren't familiar with and have no faith upon.

People, who do FLW and BRW through impact during a practicing swing, may still "steer" the real shots with "chicken wings", if that remains their "belief" for hitting a golf ball to the target. Until then, they will "scoop" or "lift" in front of the water or inside a bunker, and peek for a puttl, despite of knowing all the shoulds and shouldn'ts.

For better skill-developping people, training and practicing have proved to them and make them believe that doing 1. can lead to 2. or 3. or 4., so they have less concerns and gradually eliminate those "house-keeping skills". But things can come back if the situation is stressful enough to override the trust or confidence, like anxiety and pressure during competition.

For skill-highly-developed person, things just happen. They no longer think about it and have no idea how things are accomplished, regardless of the situation.
