Totally lost my swing!

[Conman85]

Having played great for a couple of weeks and shooting a couple of good scores culminating in an 81 at a local course with a 7 and two 6's on the card, I have lost my swing. I felt like the only way was up and my swing was in as good a shape as ever, how wrong was I?! I'm not sure whats happened but in the last few weeks I have just went downhill so fast, I've went up to the range to practice, but just keep shanking it right or hitting it low and hard. Usually a few range sessions help me out and I can find my swing again, but this time it isn't coming back. It's almost as if my brain has a block on how to swing,has this ever happened to anyone? I'm so frustrated...........on the plus side I'm off to my first open next week and buzzing with excitement, I'm sure I can learn a thing or two from those guys.

I know this feeling all to well and it has happened to me all too often over last year as I have taken up the game. Cute for me is slow everything down - 9 iron at the range, keeping it very slow and working down the irons as imperfect the shots on each one.

Have you ever had a lesson?

Welcome to Golf!

If this hasn't happened a number of times, you haven't been playing long enough!

Ignore shanks on the range, unless they are happening frequently on the course too. Though it's not a good idea to practice them! The mats are often the cause imo. When I've had several, normally with wedges, I simply switch to practicing Woods.

Very few people lose their swing, many lose their rhythm.

Thanks guys a lot of useful things to keep in mind, I think there might just be something in that loss of rythm.
