Struggling to motivate myself at the moment... any tips?

Ok take this for what its worth as its what i do and in no way a given but it may help....

Bring only your 6 iron or 7 iron and a couple of stick for alignment....Leave all other clubs at home....The reason i say this is that for the most part anyone thats learning the game wont find the shorter irons hard to hit...There the easiest.....

Concentrate on only hitting this club well for a few weeks and forget about what happens on the course....Its never the same as the range.... I would leave the driver at home for a while also while on the course....Get used to hitting that 3 wood you have from the tees and the fairways....

I know that its hard to get motivated when you get in from work but what i do is set aside 2 days a week.....Tuesday and thursday nights... Work on your posture grip and alignment and swinging that 6 iron nice and smooth....
Trust me it'll have a knock on effect on your whole bag...

Say to yourself im not gonna be like every other fella...Just banging balls with their drivers until their chests are pumped enough for them to bang on with their fists in a tarzan like manner because they managed to knock 1 ball out of 200 over the back fence :(

If the situation in work allows....and you get the odd spare moment have a think about how you'll go about your range session for that specific night....Dont just pound ball after ball...Its counter productive and just plain boring....
On every range up and down the country you will see 10 fella's banging balls for every 1 lad working on his swing properly....
Try full swings and half swings with that iron until you are comfortable.....
Also if you are only learning dont make the mistake i made and soak up every tip you find in a book or a magazine....Its just plain crazy whats being printed now.
Try and stick with the one thing until you have got the hang of it..Then move onto the next...Winter time is my learning season...I have been working on plenty to take into the start of this season nand i wont lie to you its down right de moralising making nig changes...Loosing balls by the dozen...But....It is worth it....

Oh and above all have FUN........

Oi! It didn't have that many spelling mistakes when I PM'd that to you!! ;)
