Sticky patch and the road to recovery. .

[Merv_swerve]

Hi all, not posted much for a while but in my defence I've been playing golf rather that typing about it.

Going through a bit of a rough patch and not playing great on a consistent basis. Struggling in comps and feeling anxious.

If you have a tough spell, how do you get through it? How do you remind yourself it's a game to be enjoyed?
I'm struggling with the latter somewhat and need to get the love back....

Thanks in advance. .

For me, its a case of you've hit good scores before. You've had a run of birdies/pars before. You will do it again. Be patient and believe!

And if its a train wreck of a round I focus on having a good laugh with the guys, and forget the score... its just one of those days/weeks/months.

My golf has been poor recently especially the recent club championships but the company was good so giving up was never an option. I'm sure a good round is in me soon. SO just trying to enjoy it and take as many positives as possible

If I'm having a bad spell, I put the clubs away for a few days, come offline, watch a few films, divert my attention away from aimlessly swinging my arms in the kitchen and stop thinking about Golf 24/7. It usually works. Make yourself miss the game and it'll be worthwhile when you return.

I identified the reason of poor scores, was down to poor strikes and duck hooks a couple of lessons later and things were looking up.

Having one of those one step forward, two back kind of season. Some good stuff (including winning the June stableford and a small cut) surrounded by a host of 0.1's back. Hoped the win would lead to a purple patch. Didn't happen. I just go out with a clean slate and try each time I go out for a cut
