I usually shoot low 80's consistently, i shot fine Saturday but Sunday i shanked every shot and completely blew up. I probably didn't even break 100 My chipping and putting were great but every drive and wood was either a duck hook or a slice, every iron was a bad push or a shanked it off the hosel and it shot straight right. I have been out to the range every day after that and i can not hit a solid shot to save my life, I might give up golf if i cant get out of this. This is soo depressing.

Take all your stuff out of your right pocket, put it in your left. Take a tee, put it behind your left ear. Turn your hat around backwards. Now tie your left shoe in a double bow. Now don't hit a ball for 2 days and come back and tell us how you hit it then.

Happens,

Go back to hitting half wedges, concentrate on making slow precise swing, than build up to full swings. Keep it slow and precise.

You have one bad slump and you wanna give up?

Lazy.

Put some work in and figure out whats wrong. I had a case of the hooks for the last 3 weeks, but have been going to the range every night and figured it out from the help of people on this forum.

Post your swing and let people help you out.

First thing to try, if your hitting it off the hozel, try stepping back a couple inches, that's all I had to do a few months ago when I had it.

I know how ya feel. I had the worst round sunday since i started playing. I did have a new driver and didnt hit it until the range before i teed off. Sad thing is i hit it great at range and then first tee shot sliced into the water. just couldnt bounce back at all, to get my swing right after that. only thing i did good was 100 yds in. But i think you just have to forget that bad round and keep playin and practicin, you cant get better if your already defeated before you start. Wish i could have taken that advice sunday. Good luck gettin your swing back

I had that happen recently. My 6i is normally a really good club for me. But that day starting on the range and continuing through the whole round, if I swung the 6 it went dead right every time. Why it did that, I haven't got the foggiest idea. Next time out was like having my old 6 back, most every shot nice and clean right on target.

    • Day 212 3-17 Flow work and arching. Hit some foam balls. Recorded 
    • Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod  
    • This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
    • Great year last year. Who winning this year could be another special story? Brooks? Spieth? Or Aberg? An AM? I dont know if anything could top last year 
    • I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!
