Sluggo42 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So, after 4 weeks in a row of 86, 90, 88 and 92, my 4.4 sounds pretty funny. These games were all at new tracks, but geez. Walker, you know Tierra, but have you played at saticoy cc, or Malibu cc? My new nickname is 3-putt, or, hitting 3.... I shot 92 today, but was actually semi happy with my iron play after the last month where I couldn't hit a green with an atom bomb. I guess my question is, is it unusual to have stretches of total swing dysfunction combined with rancid putting?

SMRT Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 This happened to me this summer. I had 4 or 5 rounds in the low 90's then did not play for 3 weeks and had a 4 round weekend that scored 124, 112, 105, 95. So for me it is just all about playing more. You gotta love this game!

whiskey golf Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'm going through one of these right now. Putting isn't that good but iron shots are horrible, going left with a big sweeping draw, not a snap hook. I'm basically trying to play better than bogey golf.

hckymeyer Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yup happens to everyone, look at Rory this year I started out the year making everything inside 15', then I couldn't make anything outside of 15" for about a month. Just keep at it and it will go back around the other way soon. Driver: SLDR w/ Fujikura Ventus Black 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

RoverRick Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I have been playing great for the past couple of weeks. Kicked butt Sunday morning then they arranged a game Sunday afternoon and, I kept out of the team set up because they were giving me the strongest team. Then on the first hole I dropped a shot needlessly. Long story short, I did this on 12 of 18 holes and sometimes 2 strokes on a hole. We ended up losing the max to both other teams.

Hula Rock Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I go through these stages too. Played Los Colinas up in Dallas this past weekend and carded a 92 (4.5 HCP). Could not hit a fairway to save my life, HELL I could not hit water if I jumped out of a sinking boat in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

Jmikecpa Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I seem to have two or three weeks a summer where my game just leaves me for no apparent reason. Played a two day event this year that I was the low man playing off of scratch and struggled to break 90 on both days. Day two I was asked how I shot 89 and the easy answer was I chipped on for birdie on 18! WITB 2024 Driver: Qi10 LS 9* Ltd.

It's not unusual and I have not yet found a way of preventing it from happening, but the fix it period can be shortened tremendously by gaining a better understanding the way you swing and why you swing the way you do.

Hula Rock Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Do you guys find yourself Switching irons when you find yourself in this situation. For me I always go back to my Slingshot Tours, get my game back, then switch back to my normal gamers. Ya, I am a headcase........

revkev Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I will do that. In the end it's always something simple. Ball position, alignment, something silly like that.

One day you're knocking pins over from 180 in, the next day you feel like you're playing left handed. David duval comes to mind... It's that space between the ears. There are times I struggle and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I think I break down mentally lose shots. It's contagious for me though. If I hit a couple, I have a hard time shaking it off for a few rounds.

Sluggo42 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 So I went out solo today to work on game. Basically played 2-3 balls, course was deserted from a little rain this morning. After trying endless stupid stuff, I finally started getting some results with 3 simple things: 1) a little stronger grip 2) pulling with the left hand a bit more 3) getting the swing a little more "in-out" Not "a lot" of any of them, just "some". Perhaps I should add a 4) using my core to swing from. All these things finally stopped the flares to the right, and actually got my little draw working again. Can't wait for Monday s round, my partner is thinking he owns me right now.
