Hit the driving range for the 1st time this season today. It was the 1st time I'd hit balls since the snow flew last November. MAN DO I NEED TO KNOCK THE RUST OFF!!!!!

Question - how long does it typically take most of you to get back to playing form after taking a few months off?

I had a few bad rounds of 95+, like maybe my first 4 or 5 times out. Now I'm back to my normal mid  80's.

I actually came back and my ball striking was as good as it's ever been, but I think that's just because I've been swinging in my room all winter in front of a mirror. What really was off was my short game and putting. >40 putts per round in 2 times out

I've played 3 rounds in 2011 so far. I've made some mistakes but overall I'm driving the ball and using my irons fairly well. But from 100yds in I stink. I'm planning to spend a couple of hours practicing short game tomorrow. Hopefully it will help.

      Bailey Shoemaker's Pre-Shot Routine at ANWA

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.

      Day 56 (4 May 26) - Worked on some ball-then-ground drills - going from P3 thru impact - with a slowed tempo, working to keep all parts in sync.
