Help

On Tuesday I played my best round of golf ever, prior to that over the last number of weeks I had been getting progressively better, today I went out and had the worst round of my life, I could barely hit the ball a few feet ahead of me, my putting was terrible, and to cap it all the strongest part of my game My Drive was appalling, anyone care to give me some encouragment, or offer any advice as I feel like jacking it in

That's the beauty (or frustration) of the game, Pat.  The next thing is that you'll start to play consistently well and think, 'if I had some better clubs.....'.  Guarantee of misery.

Thats how it goes sometimes Pat, well all the time in my case!! Keep going though, your bound to get back playing well soon!

Don't worry, Pat, that round is now history. You are only as good as your next round.

2 weeks ago shot 111 today shot 89 my first sub ninety on what i would call a proper course (ive broken 90 on par 67s and 65s before but they dont really count for me) . Same clubs, same ball, couldnt tell you what changed, wish i knew

Well done Stuart, the swing tip is one that was handed down to me by my grandfather, so I cannot claim it as my own.

Well done, Colin, the way you are going you will not need any advice from me, that's for sure.

Was going to start a new forum post today about 'Right Elbow, right pocket' but just found this forum post.

JP, worked a treat. Helped with some other stuff I've changed in my swing after a lesson about keeping my upper arms closer to my chest on the upswing.

Now I didn't score particularly well, but was hitting a lot straighter, short game was considerably better and confident. Definitely something to this tip.

NB Score was high due to upside down tea saucer greens that were slightly frozen resulting in 40+ putts and 25 on the back nine, first ever 4 putt! shocking.

John, It was on belfairs so i was doubly pleased to have my best round on my favourite course. 10 shots off my best score ever there.

Darren, congratulations on your first 4 putt letts hope there will be plenty more of them in April ive had similar games especially on those greens where the hole has been pulled up by the hole cutter, dead centre or it aint going in.
