So I played the front nine of 18 yesterday really focussed on each aspect of my swing, tempo, weight shift, etc. and did terrible. Hit basically everything fat or topped it. I kind of "gave up" for the back nine, decided to just line up and swing, and I was hitting everything straight and pure. Huh?

One swing thought at a time. That is key

If you have to focus on everything at once, it rarely works out. Drill at the range until it feel likes "line up swing". Never try to bring your new swing to the course, until it becomes a habit. otherwise its just frustrating and you think the swing change is not doing anything, giving up on it completely.

Read Rotella's "golf is not a game of perfect".
Not trying is the hardest thing to do. Been my experience anyway.

Weapons of choice:
Irons/wedges: Titleist Tour Grind

Yeah. Focusing less on your golf swing, and more on tempo, pick a target, and go is how you should go about your game while on the course.

That other stuff is why they invented the driving range.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
