Gents,
After being away for a while I have decided to pop back in to this all knowing realm for........well I'm not sure if it's advice or a pick me up!
As some of you may remember, a few months back everything in the garden of golf was very rosy for me..I had broke 80 a couple of times within 12 months of starting to play the game, and I even managed to fluke an albatross on one of our par 5's. It was a certainty that once the medals started my handicap would come crashing down from the 18 the club had given me to a much more respectable 11/12.
How wrong could I be?
It started with a chronic dose of the shanks, and after quite a few visits to the pro, they dissapeared, only to be replaced with my old nemesis, an extreme draw. To compound this I have become completely and utterly unable to take a divot when there is a ball in front of me (this is what the pro thinks most of my troubles stem from). I can do it when it is just grass, however, once that little white shite is in front of me, a mental block arises from the depths of my psyche and puts a firm stop on proceedings.
The piece de resistance, however, is my driving.
Now I was always quite good at this, averaging circa 275 Yds, and prettey straight, now I'm swinging inside and very shallow at the top, which is sending the driver the same way as the irons.......fore left!!
It all come to a crecendo in the last medal, which I started 6 6 10 ( yes T E N) 7.
Thanks for coming....
Really don't know what to do at the minute, much more and the clubs might have to vanish for six months.
Rant (or is that session?) over.
Thanks,
Dane
