Ive just got back in from playing a round and I am a bit confused. My previous best score was 84 which I did 2 weeks ago, prior to that it was 89 which I probably did a year ago when I started playing properly (rather than just a few times a year).
Ive been having lessons, and over the last couple of months have made a pretty big change to my swing which has resulted in a much more consistent strike, granted there would still be bad shots now and again, but they were more fats and thins than shanks which they used to be. I also haven't used a driver on the course, ever, I don't think. I got a new driver last week, Big Bertha Fusion (fitted for it), practised at the range a few times and was getting pretty happy with the consistency of it, though still a bit fadey. Today I thought I would unleash it on the course, I was hitting it really well and the extra distance off the tee really helped out out. I only missed one fairway with it too and that was the first hole I used it on.
I ended up going round in 75 (a massive 9 shots better than my previous best), on a par 71 course. 4 birdies, 8 bogeys, 6 pars. I didn't make any silly mistakes, and when I found myself slightly out of position I played safe to pretty much remove the chance of a double.
What has confused me though is the big jump I have made in the last couple of months, I have gone from being really happy to break 90, to a 74. I know it is just 1 round and the hard thing now is to do the same again, but it has really motivated me to carry on the hard work I have been putting in at the range following on from my lessons.
