Hi all, anyone have any experience with just completely losing all ability to hit the ball from the tee before?
I played a couple of rounds over the weekend with mates and, other than the Par 3’s, I couldn’t get the ball off the tee!
I was shanking it, viciously hooking it, mega slices into different counties, skying them, topping them and, I think across 36 holes, I only managed 2 straight drives. One was the very first hole, one was the 5th hole on the 2nd day.
I tried Driver, 3W, Hybrid, 4i ... even a 6i just to get it in play further than 100yds and honestly I couldn’t. The rest of my game was fine, I actually shot both rounds the same as my last couple of rounds when I drove it better but the rest of my game was dogs**t. I found it so frustrating to top it 40yds, then crack a 3W off the deck 200yds and rescue bogey or double bogey at worst - then on the driving range yesterday, smacking them near-perfect ... it’s so frustrating.
If you’ve experienced this before, how did you resolve it? Did you just soldier through and do the best you could? Did it just naturally come back? Something else? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Oh, and thanks to the guys who previously gave me advice on my approach/chipping on, that advice worked SO WELL across those two rounds and rescued me massively! So thank you
