Yesterday I had THE round!

[bigbazzaboy]

Not the round where everything goes well but the round that makes you never want to pick up a club again. Played Turnberry Kintyre and almost nothing went right. I hit 5 or 6 great drives, one almost Timgolfy length, and putted ok with one birdie but most of the rest of the time I spent duffing chips,topping irons,scuffing drives and generally making a mess of it. Got that bad that I picked my ball up after my drive at 10, took my glove off and genuinely didn't feel like playing the rest of the round. I dropped a ball a couple of holes later and finished the round but not sure what to do.

Should I get back on the course quickly and hit the round out my system or leave it for a couple of weeks and see how I feel? I played football the night before for the first time in 7 months and was stiff as a board so tried to put it down to that but the practice balls I hit were all decent enough.

And the course itself must survive on nothing more than reputation cos it's not a very good course. Fairways are awful and some of the bunkers were nothing short of a disgrace. There's also not many memorable,rewarding or challenging holes on it. At £135 a go I was expecting a lot more.

Bazza, ive been there, it must be a trait thats comes from sharing a great name when this happens for me its time to down sticks for 2/3 weeks and forget everything. Its nomrally caused by me just wanting it too badly.

If you mega keen to get straight back on the horse maybe its time for a lesson.... or 2

Take a week off mate, no point playing if you're not enjoying it.

Think ill just give it a couple of weeks until i really want to play again rather than force myself on the course. Will definitely need to play again though,my new bag turned up today.

It probable WAS that. It doesn't take much muscle tightness to throw out your timing. I did 100 'proper' sit-ups once and could barely walk for 3 days.... and my golf game still hasn't recovered

I played shite yesterday and it put me off playing today still considering going out in an hour or so but dont know what to expect.

Previous 4 rounds I scored between 79 and 86 and was pretty happy. Today I don't even know what arm does what and when lol.
