Seriously! How can you practice 2 to 3 times a week and not drop scores on the course consistently?

Thinking about "keeping your head down" is one of the worst things you could think about during a swing. The only thing that will accomplish is preventing you from turning through the shot properly. That will make you more inconsistent than you realize.

 

Thank you for the pointer!

Y'all have me laughing with the 19th hole.

Hey, the 19th hole is no laughing matter!!

Not to mention, the 19th hole can help with chipping.  When your head is sore the next morning, you tend to keep a little more still (not down, I agree with Blade), because if you move your head during the swing it feels like it just might fall off.

I play or practice just about every day. My current goal is to break 80. I've had some good chances at it with some 81's over the past few months. I think I've let myself become obsessed over my score And I have no doubt that it's hurting me. Read a few good books over the past few days. I'm playing tomorrow and my only goal for the day is to have a plan and be decisive about each shot. Trust the process and accept the outcome.

Good luck! Setting achievable goals, shattering them, and then setting new ones is a very rewarding thing!
