Going through a bad patch at the minute, im hitting the ball better than ever, but just cant score.

Any tips for me ?

I can only speak from my own recent experience, which sounds identical to yours. I posted a few weeks back how I was feeling like I'd played well but wasn't posting a score. I carried on going and just tried to enjoy it but also spent a fair bit of time practicing - especially on the short game. I'd had round after round of enjoyable golf, but couldn't quite pull things together. Went out today and shot 4 under h/c. Nothing felt noticeably different, there were just far fewer silly mistakes.

I'd suggest replaying a round in your head to identify where you lost shots. Wild off the tee or collecting 3 putts like they're going out of fashion? I had a lot of advice given to me by fellow forumers about the short game being key and today was proof to me of how much of a difference that can make to a score. Be patient, put the practice time in if you can, and just try and enjoy it. It should come back! :rolleyes:
 
Don't forget, the time you just missed the fairway, but you actually hit the fairway, it then hit a hump and went into the rough and then into a 6 inch hole in the rough :(

It isn't your fault!!!! ;)

but thats when you don't score :rolleyes:
 
I'm going through the same right now. Woods and irons going straighter than they have for about 2 years after a lot of practice. Getting into scoring positions now but the putts just are not dropping - and they used to!

I think it's because there is pressure on that part of my game now that the other areas are coming together. It's like squeezing a balloon - the errors just pop up somewhere else!!
 
I'm the complete opposite at the moment.

Driving well but irons are erratic and chipping/putting is saving me a score each time and somehow again at the weekend saved myself going back up 0.1.

Hanging by a thread though and will surely snap soon!!
