On the verge of giving up

[HomerJSimpson]

Got to say a week off for me was a real struggle but since coming back there has been an improvement. Still plenty wrong but I'm more relaxed when I play (although still trying to score as well as I can) and the game feels better for a more empty headed approach not standing there with 100's of thoughts churning away.

Even getting gubbed last night was enjoyable. I think being matchplay it was easier but apart from a disaster at 3 where I lost a ball off the tee he had to work for the holes. Even on Monday I was able to relax knowing HTL would in the most part set us up for nett par at worse so could again relax.

Take the break this weekend. Play the open with no expectations and relax and enjoy playing a different course. Enjy the banter in Ireland and see where you go. I'm sure its only going to be a temporary feeling and you'll be back pretty soon. Good luck

I have taken it a step futher than steve and jacked it in for the forseeable,playing crap and taking home a foul mood is no fun for me or my family,so the clubs are in the loft/ebay and i will think again in several months time, cant say i miss it one little bit.

Christ almighty there are a few folk on here making me want to slit the wrists!!

Get a grip,it's amateur golf we are playing guys not PGA tour stuff....get out and enjoy the fresh air!!

I have been struggling from 60 yards in lately but not once has it crossed my mind to jack it and after my lesson today I can see light shining at the end of the tunnel...I was flipping wedges and bump and runs like Seve in his heyday by the end oof the lesson but it'll no doubt be different under the gun come Sunday but who gives a turd?? I've got Glasgow Gailes,Machrahanish and Rothesay to look forward to in a weeks time and I can't wait regardless of whether or not I am knifing or flumping chips all over the shop!!

Wake up and smell the coffee!!

Aye, what he said !

It's a game, were supposed to be crap that's why we're club golfers. Okay there are degrees of crap, but,it's only a game

Alan ,Dave i know what you are saying its just i haven't been enjoying it lately which is meant to be half the battle,but after a swift kick in the nuts from my mates as i mentioned giving up,i'm going to play saturday morning to make up the 2 fours.
I'm just going to go along try to hit it find it hit it again attitude,and the skycaddie stays in the house think alot of my problem is spending to much time looking at that trying to work things out rather than walking past the sprinkler and checking the distance then hitting it if it doesn't get there ,it doesn't matter.
Thanks again for the advice and support see you guys the week of the Open Alan.

Skycaddies really are the spawn of Satan.... I'll give you £100 for it?

If you were low single figures I'd say take a break, off 10 I'd say you are just having a bad patch... go play a few rounds with only a 7-iron, wedge and putter.... double whisky for every 3-putt.... enjoy the game!
