I feel your pain pal, I played great golf this season but the fall has not treated me well at all. I had a small fit of the shanks and now I step over the ball and just don't feel comfortable at all. I'm either to close, to far, to much weight on one side, to much weight on my toes, falling away etc etc etc etc...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went out this morning and shot 90, a true low for me. I was ready to drive my jeep off the highway into a rock wall. I played a lot of tournament golf and has just lost a little passion for the game, well not really the game but more on my end. I just can't have fun. Every time I tee it up I need to compete, bury someone, win money, win skins or just plain win. So when things don't work out for me I start to get mentally frustrated, luckily I don't show this very well. I try to stay composed and never slam anything or swear but inside I'm falling off of mt everest waiting to hit the ground. I guess that is the reason why I'm just not enjoying myself anymore. Everyone has their own goals and benchmarks but I'm shooting 81 and am angry at myself, now its 90! What the f***

I hate to say it but maybe it's the Red Sox screwing with your head?! LOL

J/k, I'm truely passionate about golf and I know how I can shoot, but I end up just pissing a round away! I went and chipped and putted today at lunch, chipping from different lies etc...I chipped or flopped about 6 balls perfectly that ran into the cup, had a bunch that were pure brilliance .. hit a shot place it perfectly and it breaks and rolls inside the imaginary 3' circle I use. I wanted to play today after that (freakin work though)... It's an aggrivating game Iknow, as we all know! I just try and relax and play each shot on it's own. Relax and enjoy1 SiD

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
