Oh boy. I have the club match play finals on Sunday and I have been playing like crap recently. I had two good rounds and then....disaster. Today was an awful, awful day -- I don't think I have played this poorly in 3 years. I can't drive, use a hybrid, hit an iron, or putt. Oddly, my chipping is deadly. I am not sure what it is or how to fix it. Range time doesn't help at all. I need to reset -- not just for the tourney, but simply to enjoy my game. Any suggestions on how to break it down and get back on track?

Our club championship final was a couple weeks ago. I got myself all worked up thinking about it the days prior and started making mistakes. I finally realized that its just a game no need to be nervous. Just go out there relax have fun and play "your" game. I just pretened like it was a normal day on the course and won 4 and 3.

I'll definitely try that, but I don't think it's nerves. The mechanics of my swing (esp the driver) are totally screwy. I'm driving the ball 180-200 yards now, and way offline. I'm going to take a day off, then go to the range (again).

Same thing happened to me this weekend. During a practice round a day before the semi-final team match play, my swing just went south for the winter. I could not make a solid contact with any of the clubs in the bag. Then in the middle of the practice round, I realized my concentration was a "fraction off". I had to consciously focus and concentrate real hard (more than usual) for each shot.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
