The problem back in May/June was that I was crowding the ball at set-up and so, you're right, I couldn't get my hands/arms inside and that led to all sorts of problems. Yesterday's issues didn't stem from that though. Yesterday was more mental. Things came apart on 3 after I pulled my drive left. I attempted a knock-down 5 iron and struck it exaclty how I wanted to but I clipped the bottom branch of the tree. For some reason that immediately infuriated me as I executed exactly the way I wanted to but was rewarded with a really crappy outcome. I didn't clear my head and when I tried to simply hit a 9 iron back into a play I shanked it. From that moment on the hosel was in my head and I was hesitant and lacked any sort of confidence on everything (except my driver though which performed admirably all day).
