This year has probably been the best year I've ever had. I've been crushing the ball and shooting good scores.

However, today I had a tournament and played awful. I shot 94. Then I went to the range afterwards and started hitting hosel rockets. Why me?

I personally have experience this even after some great rounds.

Unlike the pro's, after we hit say 100+ balls we get arm/leg/body fatigue swing will drastically change your swing. Also, if you were hitting iron's at the range off the synthetic, it can be one of the worst things you can do.

may I ask why it is bad to hit irons off synthetic? I know its not real grass so it wont feel just right... but would it actually make that much of a difference for your swing pattern?

I think your right for numerous reasons. This was my day today: 1. I went to the range (grass) at 7:30am this morning before my tournament. (every shot was perfect except a couple). 2. I had the tournament (didn't hosel any balls). 3. Went to the range AGAIN afterwards and probably hit 2.5 large buckets (hoseled 1/5 shots I'd say, hit some fat, hit some perfect. 4. Went home after the range and hit plastic balls in my back yard for another hour. (hoseled alot [plus it was dark out]) So basically I hit balls from 7:30am-9:00pm with some breaks in between. My biggest problem with my golf game is I think I play too much and don't know when enough is enough. God, I hope it's fatigue.

Yeah i wouldn't be too put-off by it.

re: Hitting off mats > its doesn't allow you to create an ideal divot. Synthetic grass does not allow your irons to interact with it, the way irons are created/intended > with real turf.

about synthetic: I think it is generally softer than real ground and thus more forgiving on fat shots. in general the ball will come off higher up the face. the synthetic with really long strands is pretty much like using a tee.
unfortunately in LA, synthetic is all we got!

It's happened to everyone. I went in a tournament last week, missed about 5 putts inside of 4 feet...it happens man. It's frustrating but I just say, 'hey, it's just one tournament I can shoot better next time...in the mean time this is what I have to work on:....'

Whats always worked for me is taking it one shot at a time and not adding up the total until the end of my round.

Ive always found that if I make bogey or worse on one hole, if I go into the next hole thinking, "I gotta make birdie to catch up!" it just messes me up even worse. Besides, being a 36+ handicap; my game isnt at a level when I can expect to be able to make birdie very often.

I feel your pain. I shot a smooth 100 in a tournament this past Sunday after 3 straight rounds in the mid-80s. Keep in mind, I am a 20ish handicap.

I hit some balls today and hit them well. It had to be fatigue. I'll find out tomorrow when I hit the course again.

Golf is a funny game isn't it? My last 3 rounds were horrible to say the least. To the point where I thought my game was regressing. Then on Sunday I shot my 2nd best score ever.

Why is hitting of synthetic mats one of the worst things I can do?

synthetic are very forgiving,hit an inch behind the ball you still get a good shot,while on grass you have to get good contact or you will hit it fat.

As one golfer once told me, "when the tournament flags go up, so do the scores." I did get the shanks once from fatigue. Basically had to wake up at 6 am, then drive 4 hours and play golf in 90 degree weather to play a practice round for a college tournament. In the practice round I was 4 under after the first 9 (I usually don't keep score in practice rounds, but we were playing for money and I was playing well). On the back 9 I got the shanks and it scared me on the first day of the tourney and I posted a very scared 79. I could only chalk it up to fatigue, getting tired and coming way over the top.

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
