I CAN'T PLAY GOLF... Wish I had the matrix blue pill / red pill scenario

[JustOne]

Twice at the weekend I was the lowest hc in the group and both times I hit probably twice as many complete miss-hits as the other 3 put together.

It seems like every week I have a different eureka moment and hence swing thought for my round.
I have had that many now that I don't know what works and what doesn't, and have no idea how to swing a club.

It got to me so much yesterday that I walked off after 10 holes because I had turned into someone I didn't want to inflict on anyone else, and that just isn't me. I could quite happily have sold my clubs there and then. I won't though because I know it's only temporary and come this weekend I'll be itching to play again.

I can relate to that but invariably (as I'm sure you are aware) you'll come out the other side probably a better golfer. Form is temporary........ and all that

I'd settle for just not being a pillock on the course when things go bad. In fact it wasn't that bad, 40 front 9, it was just one of those days when EVERYTHING wound me up.

I'd decided that I was going to forget everything in my head and just swing the club, but sitting here this morning I've had a eureka moment, and the cycle starts again.......

:rofl:

I'm in the middle of one myself - helping other people with their swings invariably gets me thinking "why don't I try that?"..... and BOOM!!!!!! swing has gone out the window again ... I don't think I even have a swing I could call my own

When I started playing golf I hated being rubbish at it and boy did I ever have a temper. Only showed it to David and my brother though and kept a lid on it otherwise (just). Played with my brother the day before a competition and as ever threw a hissy feet and stamped my feet and screamed until I was sick (almost!) and saw how he tried so hard to make it right for his little sister, to the detriment of his own game. Also saw how awkward it was for him trying to say the right thing, so the next day my only aim for that day was to not behave in such a way that I put him in that situation again. End result was 40+ points, a win and a huge cut...

Perhaps just try to play with a smile and look into The Inner Game "Back/Hit" method to shut the technical thoughts up.

same boat here Davey, swing is all over the place, great drives followed by a perfect hybrid and hey ho a birdie on the SI 1, easy par 3 and duff it 20 yds or next par 4 hit a great drive and top an easy 8 iron. I have now decided to finally not play any more comps this year!

Sunday was the lowest ever for my confidence, I literally have none now

Off to Spain on 1st July so until I return from there it will be friendly rounds with no pressure and then I will decide what to do upon my return.

Form's a bit too Temporary at the moment............

You started playing a year and a half ago, you are still realatively new to it and things will come and go, dont beat yourself up about it.
