What a difference some time off can make! For a few weeks I'd been playing terrible, hit all sorts of wayward shots, chunks etc. I got so frustrated (as you do) I decided to de-tox for a bit over a week. For 9 days I didn't touch a club. Went out and practised, and found I was hitting the much better, and swinging differently. Went out yesterday and shot +8 (which is actually my best score) Feeling much better about golf now :)

I shot the best 9 hole score of my life on the first round of the season after not playing for 7 months in the winter. I was 2 under going into 9 and finished the 9 holes at even par and went on to shoot and 80.

:whistle:

Your irons

"Great for sweet-spot hits," this baby "works the ball like a forgiving blade," but "mis-hits are harsh." "Fat shots end up short and thinned ones can run twice the intended distance" on this "attractive," "great feeling," "solid," "distance hitter." It's "better for low to mid handicappers," which explains why so many reviewers lamented that they "are not skilled enough to deserve them."

If +8 in 9 holes is your best round ever those dont sound like the clubs meant for you. Just saying.

Ah, it was +8 in 18 holes.  I was +6 thru 5, got it back to +5 for the front. Shot +3 on the back (bogeying 17 & 18).

I usually hover around my handicap (12) Just been off lately... My irons are usually ok, but I average around the 33 putt mark and miss a lot of fairways.

    • 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.
