I posted something very similar in the Morgan Cup prep thread a few days ago...I was not having fun and every bad shot made it worse and were part of the cause for the next 10 bad shots. I told myself I need to remember that I play this game for fun not work and frustration.

Went out yesterday and started crappy again....backed off on the 5th tee box after starting 8 over for the first 4 holes and said...just swing smooth and lets' not worry about the score...just play golf and have a good time....I started hitting shots and putts started falling and next thing I know I went the last 14 holes in 4 over..including a 39 on the back 9..that could have easily been a 37.

I wasn't thinking about "flattening my wrist or releasing the club" or anything...I just swung the club at about 85% speed and good things started happening.

Give it a try.
