I went out yesterday for the first time this year, though I've been swinging year round thanks to heated ranges and indoor sims.

I ran into a huge problem on the course that I could not figure out. My ball contact was horrible. I was fat on long irons, and almost every close chip or pitch shot I took ended up skipping across the green. My driving was decent, but my hybrid 3, usually my best club, was wildly inconsistent. I'd drill one straight 220+, then hit a low screaming slice, then I'd hit a floating slice.

It seems like all the work I did in the off-season has netted me 0 results. I think my biggest thing is getting consistent ball striking again. I had no idea what type of flight or distance I could expect out of any of my clubs because my contact sucked.

You'll be alright bud, I just went through the same thing, keep in mind it's early, and I've played there, you're lucky, you've got a lot of great golf in that city, at good prices.

Don't get too excited. It could simply be that you're a little rusty. I played Saturday and had trouble hitting some of my favorite clubs.

It might also have something to do with the conditions of the course. I played in soggy conditions, and it just made everything more difficult.

One thing that helped me was that I didn't focus on scoring well. Instead, I just tried to relax and get into a rhythm, and focused on addressing some of my mental mistakes, which are swinging too hard off the tee, and chipping and putting tentatively.

Well, I hope things improve for you (and me).

Yeah, very true. It hurts when you're playing with a guy that shoots 3 over...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
