Does time off help your game when you start playing bad?

[Iowa Hawkeye]

I've been terrible for about 2 weeks now. Never used to pull, I started now, I can't hit driver to save my life, and I can't seem to get under the ball at all and hit everything very thin and even blade shots.

I'm going to take about 10 days and not swing, play, hit, or look at instructional materials. I'll focus on my course management and strategy, and putt, maybe chip because that isn't suffering.

Sound like a good plan?

When I start to play bad I start playing par 3 courses or really easy courses, usually playing from the men's forward tees (6000 or less yardage preferred). I do this just to build up my confidence. There are a few courses that are great for this because even bad shots are still very playable and that helps my confidence. This type of play helps me find my tempo because I know I do not have to swing as hard and at worst I usually start playing well by about the 4th or 5th hole. I find this is more helpful for me than going to range because the range just causes me to lose focus and sometimes I actually think the range contributes to the issue instead of helping.
