Thank you all for the replies. I played yesterday and shot a 93 on a par 66 (off yellow tees) which I was happy with considering how hot it was and how busy the course was. A common theme of late seems to be me thinking about my swing whilst playing. I made a conscious or unconscious effort to stop thinking about my swing as I played, this seemed to help loads. I also came to the conclusion that having a great looking swing which can consistently deliver is only half the battle me for at the moment and my short game, putting and driving all need lots of work, that being said some of the points you have raised have been very helpful thank you for taking the time to reply. Swing easy

Hello to all. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had the same problem I have been having of late, namely I'm working with an instructor having lessons but my scores are going up! Been playing seriously for around 3years now with some breaks here and there, started having some lessons last year and this year to hopefully improve my game. Been told in the past I have a nice easy swing but wasn't happy with my distance so sought the help of a professional. After having some lessons I would say I had made a slight Iimprovement, but then recently I've been going backwards when it comes to scoring. I've been losing balls, going out of bounds and missing or over shooting greens constantly. Its been very frustrating as when I'm on the range the swing is working well. Just wanted to know from more experienced golfers if this is normal for someone taking lessons. Am I concentrating too much on the swing and not on the game/course management side of things. All advice welcome.
