Part-Time Sasquatch
I have an anomaly somewhat akin to Baldguys, in the makes no sense part of it at least . The last three rounds I have played fairly well the first 9 holes good mood good course decisions etc. seems like I make the turn and then EXPECT to play above my skill level and this is when things fall apart in a big way. reading his post made me think of it somewhat similar to the iron/driver thing. In that as much as I try and take control the more i lose it swing wise.???
I guess that's why they say GOLF is a 4-letter word! What irritates me the most is that when I take my practice swing before every iron shot, I sweep the grass ever so slightly (sometimes a shallow divot if it's wet) right in the line I want and it just feels right. Then I get over the ball and either hit it thin or fat. nothing like the practice swing. I'm sure every instructor out there has fixed that for someone at some point. I'm making it my mission to figure that out between now and March 1st for the Adams event. I am tall, and my previous instructor was short. We're over a foot apart in height and I have to believe that makes a big difference in teaching. I'm starting with a new instructor who is almost the same height as me (and a bit cheaper!) this week. Several pros have told me that taller golfers have issues that shorter ones don't (and vice versa) so hopefully this matchup will work much better than the last.
Here's hoping we both figure out our issues
