Stand on the first tee and pound on it as if it owed you money.....find it, and pound on it again. Relax, enjoy your golf and take it for what it is.....a game.

Good luck, I hope you find your mojo soon
 
Homer When you stick one a foot from the pin , green in regulation and then take 5 putts from 1 foot away like I did this morning , then you can cry , or just do what I did and stare at the hole for two minutes in sheer disbelief , I had a stinker today even for a hacker like myself , it's even worse when your playing on your Todd , it helps when my mates take the piddle out of my bad shots , I just get really hard on myself when playing badly , I was reading a golf psychology book and one of the things talked about was negative self talk and that you should avoid it , as I was berating myself for playing badly I remembered this chapter of the book and then started to berate myself for berating myself , at this point I started to laugh at the daftness of letting it get to me .

Hope you start enjoying yourself again , nothing wrong with being passionate but don't give yourself a kicking over a game , despite what others say about being close to tears , I sympathise , it's incredibly frustrating when something you work hard at doesn't work out how you want it when you want it

Good luck mate

It isn't possible to 5 putt from 1 foot, it can't be.
 
It is , it was on a steep slope it went down the hill to three foot then back up a foot past then back again the same then back up again , then in , after the first two misses I was sort of not trying properly , I dunno what happened was thinking about other stuff I guess

I suspect Homer is currently locked in a dark room, slowly banging his head against the wall, whilst gently singing the D:Ream tune "Things can only get better". Give it a few days and he'll be back with renewed vigor and regaling us all with tales of his most recent trip to the range, where he smoked 98 out of 100 balls straight down the middle..........
 
To be frank if you going thru this now, off 10 and being so down after 32 points, then I dread to think what you'll be like if you get down lower .... when 2 holes can wreck a card and have you fighting to make the buffer before you even get out of sight of the clubhouse.

Have you been watching me play BT????
 
I lost 2 oob of the first tee today - in front of everyone else ready to go out for our midweek medal :(

I didn't feel like crying, just the grim resignation that it was probably going to be one of those days. NR'd on the 16th.
 
I know what you mean, but I have some belief that it will come good soon ..... Ok, eventually.

Having read the the OP I can't see how he will cope with our season on a similar handicap. I'd be quite happy with 32 points some weeks.

We're introducing 9 hole comps soon - fantastic,:) a guaranteed 18 points for the other 9
 
I have kinda missed this thread until now. What a tragic tale of despair in the young. OK, middle aged.

It seems to me that serious action is needed NOW. The members of the GM Forum rise up as one and send Homer to get lessons from someone who can sort him out, and he not return until he is fully cured and striping that driver at least 200 yards straight down the middle.

But who is the pro for the job? Butch Harmon, Bob Mac?

Does Homer need to take drastic action and try S'n'T.

Anyway, I will throw in a fiver to the Save Homer's Game fund. If everyone registered on GM Forums does the same, that should be enough.

What about another 'H4H' forum day but we can call it 'Help for Homer' instead?!! ;) :D
 
Currently unable to swing or walk more than 50yds with a knee problem so you'll get no sympathy here if you can play at all.
Suck it up, get over yourself and get back out there.:ears:
