Anyone else ever get those days where you just can’t hit a ball to save your life? The last ten rounds or so have been so consistent for me where I’ve been shooting pretty close to par. Then today I made maybe 2 good golf shots the entire day and had 3 shanks. My friend even took a video and my swing looks really solid but I just wasn’t making contact. It was a crazy feeling and I ended up shooting a 93 but it felt like it should have been 100.
Does this ever happen to you? Any tips on getting it back when your having a terrible day?
@bryangwin - Hi Bryan. Going through what you are experiencing. See comments @Ronald Burkholder comments. Valuable. Making the turn to the 2nd 9 holes, it is matter of refocusing. For me, it has to do also with taking “unresolved issues” to the Course - financial, interpersonal, emotional, etc., interfere with the fun and skills of golf.
I think it happens to everyone. Hang in there and you will have less days like that. I try to work on my short game as often as possible to help keep my scores down even when I don't have my "A" or even "C" game. Chipping and putting well can turn a very bad round into a not so bad one.
I played Friday and didn't have my best game for sure. Driver was off (hit 2, 50-80 yard slices) and I even hit one of those sh$%ks on a short wedge into a green. Chunking a few shorts wedges :( But I still shot 78. Which was very shocking because I hit so many poor and awful shots.
Hang in there, better days are ahead!
@bryangwin isn’t it amazing what one night’s sleep will do to a golf swing. But the good news is it works both ways. I have had those days where I had been playing really well and then, out of nowhere, I shoot a round in the 90s. Just last week, after a couple of good rounds in the low 80s, I shot 91. Then the very next day, same course, same tees, same weather, I shot 77. It is a crazy game we play.
So don’t fret over it. Just keep studying the S&T swing, pay attention to your fundamentals, and play through it. Golfers should have short memories.
