31. The main aim of the golf action is not to swing the club but to swing the club head.

32. A top professional does not have just one successful shot to visualize. He has many shots, each different in their own way and all successful for each and every hole.

33. You do not normally catch a slump; it is something you inadvertently create.

34. Many top professionals claim that working on your technique contributes to about 30% of your success. More important are the mental strategies and how you maximize your shots for every hole. Unfortunately most players devote 100% of their time in just learning techniques.

35. If you are a beginner, you may be learning to generate a particular kind of swing. However, as you play more, you will start to generate swings that will give you the particular shot you are looking for.

36. In golf, as in any major competitive sport, you have to try without trying too hard and win without thinking too hard about winning.
