Interesting piece. I guess the big question is: Does 'getting quiet' before the takeaway allow you to be a better golfer, or does being a good golfer allow you the freedom to 'get quiet'?

Can ones mind be trained to acheive this 'quiet' condition?

An interesting question. I would say yes, you can train your mind to be quiet, although the concept of 'train' seems inherently contradictory in this case. At least for me, I find that mental images allow the 'quiet' condition. I don't 'think' I 'see' and react. Just like shooting a basketball.

Zen and the Art of Archery is very good too. Norman suggested it when he was in his heyday

I guess people get "quite" if they think the task is "easy".

Norman may have recommended that one. However he said he read "Zen in the Martial Arts" by Joe Hyman the way most people read the paper.

MDLT tells me all the time to find one correct intention and do it as best as can be done.

This is "Cutting" as opposed to "Slashing" as mentioned in Miyamotos Musashi's Book of five rings. Mean it , Take dead aim all the same thing.

Agreed hue. I think the emphasis is on the "correct". That's where things can get fuzzy if you don't know what you're doing.
