Ever "Lost it" ?

[stokiepaul]

I am having difficulty with my swing, free swinging am fine no problems whatsoever as soon as i address the ball i can't even swing half a swing i go all stiff and tight, to start with it was just tee shots now its crept into the rest of my play even irons/hybrids .I have gone from mid handicapper (player of the year in my society last year) to really thinking about giving up as there are a few good players in the society which is due to start playing in a couple of weeks i really don't want to look like a donkeys backside.If anyone has also suffered similar difficulties please let me know i know its all in my mind and i need to loosen up and tell myself i can play but any tips to help me do this would be much appreciated.thanks for taking the time to read this.

Must have happened to me 3-4 times since I took up golf in 2010. Each time I have come back to score well pretty quickly but with hard work.

Back to basics, slow it all down and retrain your body.

One thing to remember, all the good things, all the lessons etc from before are not wasted or lost. I almost felt at one point everything had been a waste of money, a couple of months later I was accepting a prize in the Club Champs off the captain!

Yep - lost it at Stockley Pines 9 years ago. Threw the clubs in the loft and didn't touch them again until last year....

This is what I thought the thread was originally going to be about, people's stories of storming off the course and toys being thrown out of the pram
