I was so looking forward to playing this course this weekend with a pal, he plays to a 10 handicap and I'm over 11 since the move to Corpus Christi (from an 8). Adjusting to the wind here has been a bit of a challenge.

Anyway, we played a course similar to a canyon course where if you scatter your drives your in big trouble. Well I got some type of hitch in my driver swing that caused me to start hitting low pull hooks, most of them starting very low hitting the ground within 20-30 yards hooking right. The bad thing is that after a few of those with the driver, i switched to the hybrid, same thing, then the 3W, same thing. It wasn't until the last 2 drives of the day I hit solid 3W (which for me is ~250 with a slight draw). Most of the day it was 3 off the tee or barely advancing out of the very thick desert bushes. Worst day of golf in 10 years, but got a lot of practice with 3i and 4i approach shots. Lots of scrambling to get to a 94, with 8 pars to go along with quad, 3 triples, 3 doubles, and 3 bogies.

My swing is more of a digger style, rather than scooping. Somewhat aggressive swing and take decent divot with irons, but my irons are my strongest part of the game. Stats show 78% GIR when I hit the fairway, but on a good day I'm 40% fairways. But usually I don't have these types of misses.

Question, has anybody had this type of breakdown? My driver swing has always felt different from my iron swing. I think I really need to find a simple swing for the driver or maybe just work the 3w for a while.

Any thoughts? Needless to say my pal beat me like a drum, and to add insult to injury he had one of best rounds ever for a 74 (100% fairways by the way).
