Went for a quick evening knock tonight as the nights are drawing in now.
Joined three other chaps, one I’ve played with before a few times and the other two I’d not played with before. We played 4BBB.
Drove okay on the first but down the left and under a tree so all I could do was chip out onto the fairway. Left me with a 6 iron to lay up short of a pond, I wasn’t trying to push it or anything but shanked it horribly OB. Dropped another and did exactly the same thing! Walked across and found one of the balls and just dropped it to play out the hole without scoring, took my 4 iron and shanked it horribly OB! And I was supposed to be the better golfer in the group... Gave up on the hole after that.
Second, with only one thing on my mind, I somehow managed to find the green, only to three putt.
Third, good drive in the middle of the fairway, left me a wedge to the green, shanked it OB! Dropped another ball and did exactly the same thing again! Gave up on the hole with my mind in tatters, I couldn’t understand why I was doing it?
Played woods as much as I could after that, didn't shank any more irons but I was hitting them dreadfully, until the tenth tee when I finally twigged where I was going wrong. I’d been taking my club back on too steep a plane and coming down on the wrong line, from then on I swung on a flatter plane and it all felt good again, phew, nightmare over. (I hope!)
