    Sinewave got a reaction from cksurfdude in Golf Inside the Zone 32 Mental Training Workouts for Champions by Rob Polishook   
    For any golfer at any level struggling with their mental game this book will certainly have a chapter that resonates with you. It discusses real/actual situations a golfer will experience. It will provide a short section with pertinent quotes from the pros, key principals, a brief article and then some workouts to allow you to think more about your own situation. 
    There are Off-course, Pre-Round, Mid-Round and Post-Round workouts. I´ve seen many of my friends improve after they found a particular chapter, be it Pre-shot routine, Mental Imagery, Fight, Flight, Freeze, and even Choking that they improved on. 
    I´ve benefitted by focusing on my process not my results. See what you can find that applies to your game.
     
    Find it on Amazon.

    Titleist just looks and feels right for me. I´ve used Callaway, Ping, and TaylorMade clubs. I´m currently using PXG Gen 2 irons since 2018. I´ll be going back to Titleist irons, wedges and hybrids soon. It´s where I belong. I wish I never left.
    I have the 22 and 25 degree PXG 0317X hybrids which are my go to clubs out of the rough.
    I´m using 3 Vokey Black wedges though I´ve tried Cleveland. I do use a 60 deg PXG Sugar Daddy 0311T which I love.
    I´m exclusive with the EVNROLL ER1 after years of the Scotty Cam Newport 2. I don´t like to switch putters. 
    I use the Pro V1. Have had success with Snell, TaylorMade.
    The best glove I´ve ever used is the Red Rooster brand. Oh my God it was an instant perfect fit.
    I try to ignore the hidden persuasions of advertising and just rely on my feel. Somehow I don´t care for Callaway, Tour Exotics, Mizuno or Srixon.

    Thanks for all the Wrist Widget feedback. I'm back to full time playing again. Now I wear one on both wrists for mental security. I also literally probe the ground before each shot now as I never want to go through 3 months of hell again. A pine tree lined course has roots spread all around like you won't believe. 
    Do your pre round stretch to include your wrists. Let's be careful out there. (Hill St. Blue reference)

    I hit a tree root with an 8 iron (in the middle of the fairway!!!!) and sprained my wrist (level 1) 10 weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone else out there has had a similar experience. The wrist bones and ligaments are really complicated. I've been using light weight dumbbells and resistance bands plus electro stimulation. 
    I'm finally able to hit 30 yard pitch shots and putt. Of course, I only feel the ligament when my wrist cocks in my backswing. I´m still a bit gun shy about hitting full shots. 
    I usually play 3x per week so 10 weeks feels like an eternity. I don't want to reinjure the wrist so I'm being overly cautious. Its also late fall here in Uruguay so the weather is in the low 60s and rainy.
    Please advise.

    Done for 2017. Beyond the physical realm that TW faces the more problematic issue for him is his psyche. The once fit and confident golfer had his personal life exposed in public and one suffers from that shame. Since we are all people before we're athletes it takes a clear mind to play well. Perhaps he's recovered from that episode in his life and he's trying to make amends. Fatherhood seems to be an important part of that recovery. Just maybe this last surgery will free him up to play in 2018. It's no fun trying to golf with a sore back as I've endured that challenge myself. Toss in TW's mulitple swing changes, erratic tee shots, a balky putter, and a yipsy short game and one has a hard time envisioning TW as a top ten pro. 
    As a famous Yankees catcher once said, it ain't over 'til it's over. I'll go with Yogi and remain optimistic that time will heal all his mental and physical wounds to at least allow him to compete again. 
    As much as we all love to play it would not be fun for any of us if we had that joy taken from us. I'm sure you just might be tuned in if TW mounts an '86 Nicklaus like moment in 2021.
