What do you guys see as the limiting factors to a golfer improving ?
I've been stuck at around 11-12 handicap for about 4 years now. Despite regular lessons, spending a lot of time practicing and playing 2-3 times a week (in the summer at least) I don't seem to actually be improving. If anything I feel I'm getting slightly worse. :angry:
I've tried changing coaches a few times in an effort to shake things up but I'm starting to get to the conclusion that this might be as good as I'll ever get :mmm:
I know I can shoot 5-6 shots under my hcp when everything clicks but most of the time I miss the buffer and then the once a year low one brings me back down again to between 11-12.
My pattern seems to be play good golf for a few holes, then out of nowhere I'm all over the place for no apparent reason, then again for no reason I'll be fine again. But by then I'll have wrecked my card.
This weekend was the perfect example. I shot 32 points but with 4 blobs in close proximity mid round. But when I say blobs they we're 8's and 9's, so we're not talking about 1 bad shot doing the damage it will be a really bad drive, couple of duffed irons, duffed wedge and a 3-putt.
Then out of nowhere I'm fine again.
Thoughts ?
