LOST: Have you seen my swing?

[philly169]

Went to the driving range on Thursday night and again today, and anyone would guess that I've never played golf before in my life. My last competitive match I played really well, striking the ball really well and hitting the green in reg, finish 4th.

I haven't played since end of jan due to freezing cold temps but for some reason, everything I'm doing doesn't feel right. I'm hitting slices, hooks, topping, shanking, thinning... It's really bad, the whole swing feels alien to me.

I've booked a lesson for next Saturday morning so hopefully my pro can put me straight..

Feeling down after range sessions

I know how you feel after today mate, i couldnt drive for toffee and my irons wasnt much better. That was my 1st game for about 3 weeks and it was embarrassing at times

I'm sure you will get back to playing well, as you say you have been playing well not so long ago.

Don't worry about it fella it will come back. I went out for a friendly round today as I couldn't get a partner for the Winter League. It was cold and my game was showing a whole load of rust. But that's what happens, especially to high handicappers, when we haven't played for a while. I hit enough good shots today to keep my spirits up and even though I did chip and long putt like a knob, I'm just glad I could get on the course again

Forget it. I went to the range Friday night and was hitting it great. Played like king of the knobs yesterday. Had a pairs comp with Hawkeye today and I was striping it on the practice ground. Lost a ball at 2 and 3, topped a drive on 4 and had a horror front nine. Suddenly found the swing on the 11th and hit it pretty well on the back nine. If it's in there you'll find it again and I'm sure the pro will see the problem in seconds and get you back on track

I would stop threating and look forward to the lesson as you have done what's needed and booked one. I had the same and the slightest change had me smiling again.

Found it!!!!!

It was hanging out with this rather surly looking roundabout

:rofl: ..............






...........I'll get my coat

I know the feeling.

Played yesterday morning and it was absolutely horrendous. Nothing at all was going well! Hey ho, only a social game. Just annoying when I only get the chance to play once a week and play to a level where my 2 year old daughter would be in with a good shout of beating me!
