Disaster

[Bryon_Stevenson]

Bobby, I have your Full Swing, Short Game, Driver and Putting DVD's. They have helped me greatly to improve my game. However, the last two outings on the course have been a disaster....the bottom seems to have fallen out of my game. Couldn't do anything right.....drive chip/pitch or putt. How can I get through this and where do I start?

Hey Bryon,
I know how you feel,but it's golf. When I have valley's like this in my game, I try to pick one element of the game to focus on and improve in that area. My confidence starts to come back and I can play again. Hang in there.

When you are struggling you have to let me know exactly what is broken.

Slice drives, tops chips, fat wedges etc. Make sure you give me the diagnosis and I will help with the correction.

We can do this together. It is not time to panic.

Okay...here goes:

Drives were topped or hooked (I'm right-handed)
Chips were sculled
Putts were too hard and offline

Must be time for a deep breath or two.

I think I know what added to my problems. I went out last week on a dry day and did OK. I went out again today and had problems like I cited previously.......I was playing on a muddy course with satuarated greens. Being in the Pacific Northwest doesn't give us many dry days in the winter to play. What kind of adjustments should I be making if I want to play through the winter in order to improve for next summer or should I just stick to a driving range?

You can combine both. More value in practicing if the course is in poor playing condition. Chipping and putting seem to go first. The <a href=http://www.purepointgolf.com/instruction-putting-greens>greens</a> are wet and you can not get a true roll on the ball.

Being on the golf course gives you the feel of playing that practicing doesn&#39;t. Plus the exercise is great.
