The Power of Automatic Putting
This video of Jack Nicklaus shows perhaps the perfect way to approach putting. Take a look where you want the ball to go. Get set. And then putt. It’s easy to over-think putts and get worried about where the ball is going to go. But when you look and shoot your subconscious will take care…
I couldn’t believe this …

Off to Barnbougle Dunes
I’m off to play Barnbougle this morning. Here’s a shot from the plane. Great that you can write a blog post @ 9000 feet.
