Fred Couples warns you. Moving his hand around his head, he says:
“The biggest thing is that I have nothing here. Zero. Zero.”
And his thinking in decline IS only five words, so if you’re expecting a novel, you’ve clicked on the wrong thing. That being said, even the thought speaks volumes. Congratulations, then, for pairs to be an editor’s dream while being concise.
The discussion was recently started and shared on social media by the six-time top winner Nick Faldoand here, you should view the entire post below. And below, we will talk about it.
How did Couples develop his downward thinking?
Asked by Faldo about his opinion on the decline, Couples said it came through his swing coach. A kind.
“That’s how I’m a psychologist,” Couples said. “So I’d be working with Paul Marchand, and he wanted to be shorter, shorter, shorter. And so when I was playing, I was dealing with it by thinking that Paul was behind me. Like you had (David) Leadbetter, whoever your teacher was. And I was just thinking, OK, Paul – this is playing; I never had any lines; I always stood open.
“And I’d say Paul’s right behind me, swing shorter and I’d do it. Instead of saying swing shorter, I had to throw something in there.”
Taking food: There is something important to be said for making an instructor’s words understandable.
What was the thinking of the couples fall?
Five words.
Said Faldo: “You have reached the top…”
Couples said, “It just went from there.”
Said Faldo: “It just went.”
Couples said, “It just went.”
Faldo said, “And there it is, your top of the day: It just went. When it got to the top, it went.”
Taking food: This will not – I won’t – work for everyone. The idea is likely to work better for more skilled players. But having an uncluttered mind—and “I just went for it”—can help.
What about post-contact?
One thing.
“Keep my conclusion,” Couples said.
Some players, Couples said, “destroy” the club immediately after going on. Not him. The club rests behind his head.
Said Faldo: “You would pose for a picture, just in case.”
Couples said, “I would pose, yes.”
Faldo said: “Only if you appear on TV”.
Couples said: “Even in bad shots, I would still pose.”
Taking food: I really enjoyed this split here why sticking to your conclusion is important.
Did Faldo have a falling thought?
He said he did. Some of them, it seemed.
“Oh, I had all kinds of beauties,” Faldo said. “Which Masters do you want to talk about?”
The three-time Masters winner then went with a thought he said he had at the 1996 Masters.
“I remember ’96,” he said, “I used to pull it, I called it ‘the boot’. I used to send the butt of the club into my right shoe. So I used to pull it that way.”
