Blowing up on the back 9.

Think you're being a tad hard on yourself regarding ability but a crap temperament will always drag skill down so I know what I'd fix. As a former club chucker (and serial reshafter) it is a hard cycle to break

Hitting good irons, wedges and putting really nicely but losing 4 balls off the tee with driver/3 wood (9 holes!) - just have a real mental block when the ball is teed up, could go big left or big right, just so demoralising.

Think it was Tiger who gave himself 5 or 10 steps after a bad shot then he got himself back in the zone- probably easier to say than do!?

The best thing i have done to improve my game is stop caring, its a hobby, if you duff the odd shot it doesnt matter. As a side effect of this i have pretty much stopped duffing it.

I try to stick to this rule. It allows me to beat myself up for a silly mistake For ten seconds or so but then I can get back to even keel before the next shot. I really do find it helps to have that release otherwise it simmers for far too long.

Cycled past a golf course on Saturday afternoon. The clubhouse bar looked closed but there was a big marquee erected next to it, with tables and chairs inside. Must have been over 30 people packed under the canopy, enjoying a weekend beer, no social distancing at all. I think I'm ready to get back to normal, but I was absolutely stunned that the club would facilitate such a blatant breach.

The back 9 random irritation being on the verge of a full on hate fest.
Wouldn't buy a bag without them. No crossing of clubs, so easy to pull out a club. Go on, embrace it ?14 way dividers.
Why oh why? ??
Swinging it as badly as I can recall. Weak fades/slices and drivers only going about 150 yards. No turn and no timing. Hit it 7/10 warming up but swing and game felt totally lost on the course. Thank god for a short game that's working and managed 34 point playing crap. Hated it but have to be happy with the outcome
Have to be honest I was anti these as well for so many years but when I wanted a new cart bag, the vast majority came with that design so I locked my OCD into a dark recess at the back of my mind and lost the key. I can't say I love them from an aesthetic point of view but have to agree for functionality they are perfectly fine
went to the range today which is on some of the holes on the old torvean, hitting balls from 120 yards onto one of the old greens, two teenagers decide to go and sit in the middle of said green, went up to them ans asked why, told " we can sit where we like" no point in arguing with them TBH. as i was leaving another guys turned up told him what they had done,... i'll get them to move he says and hit onto the green from the same place i was, a couple of close calls they soon moved

Interesting. I've had two bags with 14 way dividers (Adams, then Motocaddy) and the clubs still tangled in both of them.
Come to think of it, pulling clubs out is easy, but getting them back in is the issue.
What bag do you have that doesn't have this problem?
not played since Sat as i was golfed out a bit, due a game at lunchtime its chucking it down, was nice on Sun, Mon, Tues that will teach me

I have 14 way dividers and find the clubs still get tangled. Don't see any advantage over my previous bag which had 6 dividers. On the other hand, I wouldn't want a bag with fewer than 5 dividers.
I have a Motocaddy cart bag, bought 2-3 years ago. It's a black and white one, fairly standard. Genuinely never had an issue getting clubs out or putting them back in. Cracking bag, I won't be replacing it until it falls apart.

If the zips haven't failed after 2 years then I'm guessing it's not one of their waterproof bags.
