okay so I'm pretty new to golf, i started around march. at first it was just some to add to my Resume to look good for college going to my last year of High School. the more i played the more I enjoyed the game the whole style of how things are done on the course drew me in to the point where I spent my spare time putting in my room now. So I went and got my mom to spring for clubs she got my some generic start set from texan(see sig) but more I was playing on my own time not just the team I wanted better so i got the clubs i have now.
well sorry for the useless rant let me get to my problem

straight to the point is im new to the game and I always expect more out of my self and it makes me lose my whole mind set, i just got back from one of my hs matches i had a good drive a little slice put me behind 2 trees so from their i tried getting it out i hit the tree no biggie in short ruff next to the fairway then i took a fat shot then got it on next to the green then from their i fell apart i was no more then 10 yards off the green and then i put it over the green with no flight so i knew i messed up kinda beat my self up then got it on the green then 3 putted then the rest of my game was crap besides a par 3 where i bogey'ed which was a luck i feel lol.
so anyway i need some tips to get me back in the zone so i can get past the bad shots i hit

PS sorry for grammar errors. lol

i guess they don't teach punctuation in your high school...


its real simple. take some lessons. It sounds like you could use some guidance in all of your basic fundamentals.


shot 1. slice drive behind trees.
shot 2. hit a tree.
shot 3. fat iron.
then...fall apart?
shot 4. hit a flyer with wedge.
shot 5. get it on the green.
shot 6/7/8. putt putt putt

Good grammar makes the post more enjoyable to read. I won't even bother reading some of these posts as butchered as they are...

    • Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.
    • Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front. 
    • Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.  
    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
