Why do I wake up in the morning and decide to play golf? Why do I waste time and money on golf? No matter how much I practice, no matter how much I train, I am not getting anywhere with my game. Last night I had a great range workout and worked on a couple things. My irons were crisp and I was able to really work out the slice in my drive. Woods I still have issues with. So why is it when I go to the tee box, I wind up hitting 50m grounders, top every single iron and wedge shot, and three putt my way to the worst game of my life. I walked off the course today after my piss poor ground ball drive and went home. Who the hell shoots a 40 after five holes? How the hell is that fun? What is there to learn from that? Wasted $45 on green fees. How is it that I can train everyday, and have some scrub who doesn't play regularly beat me by 20 strokes? Right now I feel I threw nearly 2 grand in the trash. No matter what I do, I cannot get better and I am seriously thinking about quitting.
Here is my bad luck of the day: five hole, 6 lost balls, 3 ground ball drives, hybrid slice into the woods, shot limit on the second hole, 5i bump n run that went three feet, every single iron was topped, 1/3 of my wedge play actually worked, the rest were either topped or hit perpendicular to where I was aiming. My OOB handicap is 36.4, it has been since I started using OOB and has never been any lower. I am so horrible at this game that averaging a double bogey for the round is a far fetched dream.
My goal today was to not have any lost ball penalties and to average 2.5 putts through 18. Not a difficult task at all. Two sleeves gone after five and nearly 3 putts per, I wanted to smash my driver against a tree. I'm going to take some time off, not do any training, no golfing, nothing. If taking time off isn't going to work, I'll have a lovely FS thread in here for you guys.
