I have a bad problem getting comfortable and just swinging my normal swing. I have so much anxiety lately playing that im swinging scared and not until my round is toast will I start grooving.


This keeps happening to me at AM Tour events. I go play in my regular game and, poof, I can play golf again. Playing scared never helps, but its hard to play fearless and not be reckless.

I would take reckless at this point as long as im making confident swings to my target.


its like I get to the top of my swing and don't know what to do

Oh that's not good. I was in that spot a few months ago. It blows. Now, I don't think once I get over the ball.

duffing shots, blocked slices, smothered and covered pull hooks. you name it. literally swinging the club like a 26 handicap.


^ I could co-sign this.

The game is frustrating sometimes. When I’m playing well it is just sort of happening. When I struggle it is so hard.

I don't think 18s shoot consistently in the mid to upper 80s and put 26-28 per round. You need to enter in more scores into GHIN.





100% this, post every round even if its 9, they'll get combined. If you roll get in a game at your club as an 18 and drop an 83 on them you'll be known as " That guy". Trust me, nobody likes " that guy" don't be " that guy"

Lol don't want to be THAT guy. The scores have been coming down since playing a lot more lately.

I've been using the Grint App to enter scores, and I have more than 20 rounds. According to the app, these are the rounds that are calculated in my handicap: 86, 93, 85, 88, 87, 87, 87, 87, 88, and 89.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure the issue could be that 5 of those scores were at DSCC, which has 9 holes with two different sets of tees. But it's only 5600 yards and a course rating of 67. The rest of the scores are between Greystone, Webb, and Dumas
