I'm in the midst of the worse golf I have played in 2 years. I'm pretty sure it's 90% mental which is causing 10% mechanical issues.
It started 6 rounds ago when I was a chip and putt away from breaking 80 for 1st time and instead, thinned a 20 ft chip 30ft past hole and ended with exactly 80. Then, 2 rounds later my brand new Vr Pro driver breaks and hence the repair nightmare I explained in the thread I started "Broken Nike Vr Pro Driver". Ever since putting the VR driver into play I was longer and more consistent with driver than ever before. I went from using 3wood almost all the time except on holes where it was absolutely necessary to pulling driver on holes I should have taken 3wood. This ne found love affair and confidence with driver trickled down through the bag and even putting.
I'm still without the Vr Pro and have been forced to bring back my TM R9. Instantly the old driver game returned and that new found confidence went bye-bye. Don't get me wrong, I am not making excuses and saying it's all due to the driver issue, I'm definitely not because I have absolutely no idea what it is. All I do know is irons shots that I was hitting flush... I'm hitting thin, fat and off the heel. Sand shots I walked up and stuck I now blade or flop just out of the bunker. Putts i was draining... I'm not standing over scared to pull the trigger on. The rounds are getting drastically worse too. At first I went from 82-85 to 85-88 to 97 and yes...100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally my question... has anyone ever just gone from doing everything right to being absolutely lost and if so what did you do to get back on track? You guys suggest playing through the agony or taking a break and stepping away for a while?
