Why is it that one day you just flush everything and the following day you just got nothin. I think for me some days my body just does not move as good as others. I have a few back issues, but its not really an excuse physically, but maybe mentally. Sometimes it plays no part at all, I just leave my rhythm at home..Who else suffers from this and what do you do when your into your round to overcome the problem??

Timing I suppose. Slight differences in the swing can throw out or align other compensations so you can hit it well. The better players have less compensations so they dont have many terrible rounds like we do.

For me its usually, does the game seam fast or slow for me. Sometimes i just feel like i am moving to fast. My walking pace, my swing, my urgency, my thinking, my putting. Those rounds go down hill fast. I am usually playing my best when i am thinking slower, and moving with ease. Like if you were just taking a stroll outside, just enjoying the day.

It happened to me yesterday.  I don't get to the course much but hit a lot of balls at my local range.  On Friday last week I had one of the best ball striking sessions that I have ever had.  Yesterday I was hitting the ball thin and in trying to compensate by staying down on it I dug into the ground with a 6 iron and felt a twinge in my back.  Of course, I kept swinging and today, two days before I start a  week of vacation, my back is giving me problems.  I can't explain what happens to the swing either.  I only know that every day is a new day.  I can't ever predict how I'm going to hit the ball, no matter that on some days I think I might have found an answer to a swing fault and the next day that solution doesn't work because some other swing issue might have arisen.

I agree with this completely. I am also a copious offender. Some of us have pretty good swings and at the range we can play like a hero. Then we get to a golf course and virtually putt the ball from the tee to the hole; okay maybe not, but you get my humor, no? hehehe

This one made me laugh... For years and years we have joked about having a great round and the problem being we will now have to go to sleep, and doing that will automatically make your great swing into something uncontrollable.  It makes you want to stay up all night just to keep the magic (which of course would not work either.)  I am always astonished when a pro wins a tournament with four excellent rounds in the sixties... amazing accomplishment.  I have managed to shot a 66 followed by an 80 the next day on a tour course setup from the tips -- and for the life of me, I cannot tell you why one day was so good and the other so bad..

Dat chit is funny!  After a good/great round, I usually play hole after hole in my head while I lay down.  then, NOTHING the next round  Funny!  What a game we're hooked on!  It is indeed amazing how these Pro's do it day in and day out.

Well, I knew I wasnt going to be alone, but some good insight into what other people think it is that causes the problem with them. I played 18 today. Was 1 over at the turn. I was hitting the ball much better. Not perfect, but much better than Saturday and Monday. My last 6 holes were bombed drives and great approach shots. Really got the ball working right to left off the tee and trapping the irons nicely. Will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings....thanks for the input.

I have a saying when I am approaching the ball on the first tee, I usually say "OK, let's see who's playing today".  I usually get a laugh from my buddies on the first tee when I say it, some days I can go out and shoot mid to high 70's then the next mid to high 80's even 90's. It just don't make sense!

Not a believer in biorhythms but has to been something to do with the water in our bodies and gravitational forces or something in our heads.   I keep a fairly strict routine and notebook that tracks my rounds and range sessions and have yet to find a variable I can point to that would be the cause for swinging great one day and shanking the next.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
