What I mean is: I made some good gains. Swing changes, couple of lessons and lots (and lots) of time practicing. I practice way more than I play now. I felt like I was able to hit the ball solidly...REPEATEDLY. Even (dare I say it) consistently. I'm never gonna break course records, but I want to reach the point of scoring in the 90's consistently and threating 80 every once in a while. Mostly I just want to play golf and not 'golf swing' every time out.
I felt like, after 30+ years of playing this game (since I was 7) I was finally getting there. Then, as always, it disappeared. Bad rounds, bad practices...lots of frustration.
Here's the Algernon part: I find it very difficult to enjoy the game losing balls and kicking it around at 115 after puring shots and nearly breaking 80. I know some rounds are better than others and I'll (hopefully) find it again but... how do you set expectations to not get frustrated while regressing? Because it isn't fun now, and I desperately want it to be.
