One process thought.

What's going on.

A pile of swing thoughts at the ball splits the attention. The club gets steered. A mid-iron that was already a swing gets smaller. Under pressure the list gets longer, not shorter. That is why the strike leaks.

What's already OK.

You already have a mid-iron that can send the ball. The extra thoughts are the extra.

The one thing.

Take one thought to the ball: the club, the ball, or the target.

The drill.

One thought, then go

A mid-iron on the range or the first tee. Stock full swing. One process thought that names the club, the ball, or the target.

10 balls. Same thought every time.

The thought is the same from behind the ball to the strike. A second thought means start over.

On the course.

The thought is still one at the strike. The club is free to swing.

• ☐One thought, then go: 10 balls, same thought
• ☐Next 9 holes: one process thought before each full mid-iron
