I’ve lost it

This has happened to me in the last 2 months, same thing took 2 weeks off, death in family and business needs and damn is I cannot get under 94.

It is awful

Same here, playing around 77-84

Tried to make some adjustments to get better, and now I’m playing “golf swing” on the course and shooting in the high 80s

Trip where? I went to Colorado for a member/guest and my GHIN went up 2-4 since I returned

Spend an hour or two on the range filming your swing instead of playing. When you are consistently hitting the shots you are trying to hit, then go out and play.
Don’t just shotgun balls. Pick a target and don’t switch clubs until you hit 10 shots I’m a row at said target.

Boston.

Did not play golf.

Maybe I should have.

You've probably made a very subtle adjustment and it's got you questioning everything.

Mine is that I typically stand to close to the ball with short game and it makes me feel terrible. I've spent alot of time this past summer on consistency. It's paying off now and hopefully everything else will fall in line over time.

Sometimes when trying to improve, you over analyze the game. Get back to the basics. If flubbing chips, pitch with a lower bounce and work on hitting a spot. If 3 putting, work on first putt getting inside 4 feet. Focus on getting to the green. If you hit a bad shot, don't try to figure out what went wrong. Focus on how you can get back into the hole. Eventually, the game will come back, and you'll be better for it.

Prime example... Par 5 1st yesterday. I hit a bad drive into the right rough. Flub a punch shot about 40 yards behind a tree. Still 205 yards out for my third shot. Instead of dwelling on 2 consecutive poor shots to start the round, I hit one to 20 feet and two putted for par.

It's a frustrating game, but you have to stay in the present.

Shot 46-41-43 today.

Trending down.

My putting was way off.

Plan to work through it.

Go have a pro straighten out your swing. 1-2 lessons can make a big difference.

Last time I got in a bad funk, a pro straitened me out in 30 seconds. I was still warming up, he walked up and said you are doing ________, stop it. The next 5 balls were pounded and all was well. It's amazing what having someone help you out can do.

I haven't played in almost a year. Used to go almost every week. Went to play 9 last week and it was like I have never played before. I used to drive around 300 with slight fade. Now I'm duck hooking like a beginner. Irons not much better except for short irons.

Not even sure where to start getting this fixed.
