Real quick.

If you go to the driving range and an idea comes into your head to try something new and you try it and it starts working so well, ball after ball, that you can’t believe it and you think you have found The Secret To Golf that will solve the game forever, here’s what to do.

Sit down. Watch other people hit the ball. Chill.

After a few minutes, step onto your mat and start doing that same thing again.

If it works, you’re onto something.

If you can’t seem get it to work anymore, though, give it up. You got into a groove, you had some fun, but odds are that trying to recover that magic will make things worse, not better.
