Right now my putting stroke is very shakey and my driver is too inconsistent, I'm really leaning towards using my 3 wood for a while I have a fair amount of confidence and control with this club that I just don't feel with the driver right now, I want to change the shaft back to 45" and get the swingweight dialed in. I may change putters also and go back to my old Wilson 2010 that thing has some great feel to it, it just doesn't have the same solid MOI the Taylormade has.

It's very weird but it seems like lately I start out solid but by the end of the round I've simply forgotten how to hit the ball.  It's hard to explain, it's like I completely lose the ability to tell if my setup is right, my backswing is normal, etc.  It seems like I hit overall worse shots but I can't put a finger on why.  Maybe it's just the fatigue of playing the previous 12 or 15 holes or whatever.

I also notice I have a bad habit of checking out when I start playing like crap.  If I get a few double bogeys early and see that even if I play great and par the rest of the holes for whatever 9 I'm on my score will still be mediocre so I just kinda stop trying.

The bar does not open till 10am ... That and I struggle with "closing the door" at impact ... Swing too much with shoulders, especially my left shoulder loves to pull up and out ... Cause me to hit the ball a bit open and on the toe ... But main thing is still the hours of the bar ... That's my story and I am sticking too it ...

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
