Is successful Golf really more muscle memory than it is a game of emotional and life balance?

Witness Tiger Woods who today on national TV during the Masters opening week opined that his prior 4 wins at the Masters was not related to his personal life or extramarital indiscretions.

This would suggest that emotions and CONSCIENCE are less related to perfomance on the green than some traditional golf training would tell — i.e. training which encourages BALANCE to free the mind so as to hit the shot JUST RIGHT.

The credentialed media of 260+ journalists allowed to ask Tiger questions today as long as the questions were respectful, kept searching for an answer to a fundamental golf principle: i.e. one has to be balanced in order to concentrate and perform well on the golf course.

Yet by Tiger’s own admissions, he was way out of balance all the while he won major tournaments.

So is muscle memory REALLY the more important trait to develop in Golf over emotional balance in order to score better?

Should Golf FOREGO all the psycho-babble of “free your mind and conscious” in order to concentrate and hit the ball well, in favor of just ROTE PRACTICE in order to develop muscle memory over strategic concentration?

What does the Tiger Woods story and experience have to teach us with regard to the way we view what is needed to be more successful at Golf?

      Sadly, Golf is more likely more muscle memory. Tiger has shown himself to be a shallow puke of a human being and probably enjoys life zoning out on the links almost as he does linking up with porn stars and skanky ho’s.
