My games falling apart

[TigerTime]

Yeah I feel this atm.

4 years and I'm garbage. 5 years of playing *** golf and not really improving that much (yes I've done/doing lessons etc etc). I'm probably at my limit, and it's not really as enjoyable when you are stagnating and not improving unfortunately.

I don't know what to do. Might just go Bryson myself at the gym and hit bombs for the banter.

A good

I use orange tees so tee hight is fine. Ball position stance all that stuffs fine. I think it’s just a sway backwards and don’t get back.
It’s so frustrating on practice swings im in all the right positions.
When I do hit the ball I have a in to out swing path 100% of the time and hit up on the ball 100% of the time.
The pro said it should be a easy fix but im just not getting it.
It’s got to the point now I don’t even feel comfortable swinging my driver at full speed hitting a ball. I can go full out on a practice swing no problem.

Maybe not the most popular answer but if you really aren't getting it with the pro ask them to explain it differently or ultimately speak to another pro and see if they can connect better with you. I think the more you stand on the course and think "don't sway" the more prominent it will be in your mind and your body will react and do exactly what you are asking it not to

Is swaying the issue? Assuming you are getting a multitude of different shot shapes and connections?

If that’s the case do the half swing feet together drill and then keep widening until the contacts become rubbish.

Swaying is an issue that I am always concerned about. So I do the drill I mentioned and then I look at how I start my swing. So I think about moving to my closest the hole foot as I take the club back .. if that makes sense. The step drill is one that helps this and also the pause at the top.

Pausing at the top is hard because you start thinking where do I go from here.. but a slow back swing in my case helps because it’s just helps the sequencing..

Just have a go see what happens and if the strike improves then work on the direction.. which is where I am now

I had a follow up lesson the other day.I Still sway off the ball, I’m swaying onto my heels and by impact my head is maybe 8/10 inches away from starting position resulting in horrible tow strikes.
It only shows up in driver and 3 wood. Until yesterday I started to hit the hybrid out the toe and even the odd iron.
The pro has told he what’s wrong and gave me a drill. I can do the drill no problem but feel as if this toe problem is getting worse.
It’s completely killing my game. I hit two 5 iron tee shots yesterday on a hole. One out the toe and one middled and the difference was about 80 yards.
I really need to fix this and pros now away on holiday.

Still struggling with short game but on the plus side a very good bunker session. Too many swing thoughts and game not where I need it for seniors club champs on Monday but that has lowered expectation which may be a good thing

I’d recommend giving up golf. Even better, don’t take it up in the first place. It will save you a world of pain.
Instead, spend your money on cocaine and hookers. It will work out significantly cheaper and lead to fewer arguments with the wife.

I think I’ve said before I sometimes struggle with driver hitting it low on face and getting pretty much no launch but it’s started being low and toe now and it’s creeping into my old trusty 3 wood. The 3 wood was my get out of jail free club when driver was bad but now there both bad, low and toe.
Old pro said I was pulling my arms in at impact I was sure he was incorrect so went to a new pro and had everything videoed, sure enough I don’t pull in at all but I sway away from the ball so can’t quite get back to the ball.
Pro gave me a drill that’s easy to do and on practice swings it all looking perfect on camera it’s just as soon as that little ball appears it goes to pot.
Anyone had similar problems and how did you fix it? It’s killing my game at the moment. I’ve went to a hybrid off the tee past few games and that’s not long enough on long par4s

It’s got to the point now I don’t even feel comfortable swinging my driver at full speed hitting a ball. I can go full out on a practice swing no problem. It can also help to focus on taking your time and smoothly transferring your weight from your back foot to your front foot to avoid shifting. When I was having trouble with my driver, I often used a hybrid, like you, but it doesn't always help on long shots. Now, for example, when I'm relaxing a bit while playing games, I go to https://pokieslab1.com/free-online-pokies/5-dragons/ to relieve stress and take a break from the sport and read about something new. It helps me simply refocus and get back into the swing of things. I'm sure with time and practice, you can improve your stroke.

I understand... It often happens that in practice your arms or body start to work differently than during training, and you can no longer return to the correct position.
