Set high goals

Peak performance comes from high standards, highly set goals and a work ethic that is just intense.

Intense is that you work on flawless technique first, to perfect it, and this takes time and then even more time and then intense concentration.
Now, the work I do to get there to get a perfect technique goes slowly, I had to re-learn old habits last year, which was good but also I didnt understand enough what to practice and how to practice right.

So, I started doing that this year, slowly working trough what my body does, and do when I perform the motion, and this is what I will stick to doing the whole summer also.
I am using a new embodied form to become aware of what the body is doing as it does it.
Now, already this has improved my technique a lot.

But I need to get the summer come along, so I can get a even better feedback, when the ball is struck for me, I can judge the performance of ballflight with the technique and note, does it match or not?
Doing this, I dont need a lot of analysis, I need to use the feedback and adjust, and feel the body and how its understand and then adjust until its right.

So if everything moves along nicely this summer I be playing scratch golf.
from 9 to scratch in a season.

That would be one for the record books.

Ben and Moe

In the world of sports people seek consistency to be doing the same accurate thing and this wont change.
Now, in Golf, even professional golfers will tell you their swing is a day to day and even a swing to swing consistent.
They are constantly trying to find a swingthought that keeps them doing the same and same again.

Now, doing it like they do, focus on the toe, or left toe and as it lifts they can make the same shot, for a time, and soon they hunt again for another haystraw.

It just wont work for them.

The secret that Ben Hogan had and that Moe Norman shared was the ability to constantly swing the same.
Now, every golf theory and guru out there have tried to find the secret they had and none ever have been able to copy what they did.

I belive I have solved that, and this summer will show if I indeed did find, the secret.

Exciting times.
