Getting over the hump - Shot Talk

This could either be a good thread or very stupid, here it goes...

I'm on the verge of really starting to play well, i can feel it, one day soon something is just going to click and it'll be hopefully downhill from there for awhile.

i've been floating at about where i'm at for 2 years or so, and have been putting in good time, yet my scores haven't really changed...

is it me, am i not practicing right? am i not focusing on the right aspects? or have i gotten as good as i'm ever gonna get

this is my senior year, i want to finish my last year with a bang, (that and maybe some scholarship money) ....are there any ways to help this along ?

i'm trying to restructure my game putting more emphasis on control and its coming along, but i don't know if that's even going to do anything...

i've been working out more, and stretching to help keep me in top shape...but for some reason i think the barrier lies between my ears...

any help would be greatly appreciated

Grind, grind grind. From my voyages, I have found that if even if I do change something for the best, it takes long and hard work. The harder you work, generally, the better you will get.

Answer me this? If I screw up a shot, its fat. What is the problem?

You already know it's all about practicing and playing. I've gone from being happy with a low 90's score to having it be a total crap round in less than a year. I know what you mean about "feeling" like it's all going to come together and it will. I worked on my chipping and pitching for weeks and it took a little while to show on the course but now the up and downs are at a way higher percentage than ever. Get a solid routine and don't deviate from it when playing under pressure. Keep track of the things that are preventing you from making par on every/any hole and work on these areas. If you are having problems with iron striking/accuracy I highly recommend playing a little while with no driver. This forces course management and using the 4-7 iron a lot. Good luck.
