Psychological or Physical??

I hit another bucket of balls today at Toddy Brook Golf course and I hit them well. Much more consistent than last time. For the most part they were straight and reasonable long for an amputee.

As long as I hit the ball with a closed stance with my left (artificial foot) ahead of my right (real) foot I hit dead straight. If I exaggerated the close stance, I could hit the ball to the right and if I stood square to the ball, I hit to the left. This should help me when I actually play the course. I still need to firmly trust my prosthetic leg by shifting my entire weight onto it as I swing. I am getting closer but I am not there yet.

This leads me to the question is it physical or psychological limitations that are in the way now preventing me from doing everything that I want to do? What do you think?
