off days- you know youve been there

[shortgame25]

Alright, does anybody else have those days where you just cant solidly strike the ball? No matter what you do you cannot do it right, and it just feels like your swinging good, yet u have no control over it? This period may last a day, or even a week or 2, in some guys cases a lifetime haha. Well the last few days ive been in a funk. I usually shoots mid to high 30's somewhat consistently, and today i went out and shot a 49 and took a 11 on a par 5. Its almost like ive over golfed, if thats possible. So I know other people have this wierd things happen to them, and i think its a good topic to talk about! So what do u do when you get there?

The last 3 days I've been like this. I'm not even hitting the ball that bad, but I'm missing all the greens by 10 yards & my putting is awful atm.

I have those days seemingly too often, that's one thing I really need to work on-my consistency.

Oh, there's days the wheels just completely fall off. Don't panic about it - it happens to everyone sooner or later. When the wheels fall off my game, I can't break 100. That's when I stop keeping score and just start hitting balls around.

Usually, one part of my game is dead, one is on fire, and the others are so-so. Right now, driving is dead (1 fairway today) but iron play and my ballstriking is great (9 greens despite only 1 fairway). Chipping and putting are so-so right now. It changes from day to day. Some days it's just all off - when that happens I take at least three days off, and then go hit a bucket of balls at the range. Usually, I'll hit the best shots ever at the range after a week off (and fail to bring it onto the course).

I had a day like this yesterday. I was slicing all my clubs. I never slice irons so i had no clue what was going on.

[Spectrums]

On my offdays, my irons don't work.

But luckily for me, my short game ain't too shabby, so I'll get up and down. Most of the time.

Heck, not only have I had off days, but i've had off weeks, months etc.. I tell ya what... those times can be really frustrating! and sometimes are really hard to snap out of because you start to mess with your swing etc...

[Ben]

When this happens to me, I just chalk it up as a bad day and wait for tomorrow. You've just got to remember that you do know how to swing. Funny thing is, I have a tendency to score the best when I hit the ball the worst.

I do the same exact thing, i'm out there to have a good time & if the shots aren't happening...oh well. Make the most of it & try to get just 1 good hole or even just 1 good shot.

I was like that last night. I just started hooking everything massively with my irons. 100 yards out and I was hooking the ball to a different fairway.

Have a few of these alright, Putts wont drop and the driver wont stay straight.

[Chris36]

Yep had one today. Driver and putting was good but I struggled with the iron play, afterward I hit the driving range and the irons hits went really well. For me seems like it really becomes a mental thing once on the course. But after all, for me, it's just a game whether good or bad I had fun.

[ERichardson]

If I am having an off day and not shaping the ball very well I just play through it. I don't try to correct anything because I will be over thinking and it will just get worse.
