After a rough last year with injuries, this year is going to be the year I get back down to at least a 16, maybe even better. I've crept to a 21 now, and that's unacceptable for someone who plays and practices as much as I do. I've just had a mental block on the course with every club except for the putter. I just putt decently no matter what.
My #1 issue has always been mental. I simply couldn't relax over the ball and just swing. Too much tension in my hands and arms. I've gotten a lot better over the past couple of weeks with it and for the most part I was able to stay relaxed over the ball, even at the Invitational with people watching.
Getting off the tee well is going to be key from here on out. The majority of my lost shots came from stray tee shots and the subsequent recovery shots that ensued. Losing so much distance because of my injuries, I'm going to have to concentrate on accuracy and forget about trying to power the ball off the tee. I was still wanting to get after the ball this past weekend off the tee and it got me in trouble a lot. I didn't have the same issue with my irons, I stepped up, concentrated and put a swing on the club. Feeling much better about my game recently, just have to get off the tee box better.
