    In the depths of despair….

    Thanks everyone. I have got a very quiet course nearby so plan to get a couple of rounds in on my own in a quiet slot. Will concentrate on just relaxing, not over swinging and not trying to hit it too hard. 3 things that I’ve been failing to do. I think I will finally bite the bullet and book...

    Yes, the over analysis and filing my head with stuff I don’t know enough about is certainly what has sent me on a downward spiral I think. And now I’m just really tense when standing over the ball as I’ve completely lost my confidence. I am in Cheshire so not near Lincolnshire but thank you ?

    Scores not coming down

It resulted in rest of lesson trying to cure a fault which I'm not sure is normally there. I've got plenty of faults no doubt but we spent half...

    Scores not coming down

    I'm another newbie struggling to get my scores down. Started playing in May with very slow progress. Took driver out of my bag and found a fairly consistent but short tee shot with 5 hybrid and things started to pick up as I was in play a lot more. Around about August I really started to feel...
