My last couple of outings have been nothing short of a cluster fuck. My swing feels like an octopus falling out of a tree. At this point I'm not sure what to do. I think I'll just take a few days off and regroup then try to take a refreshed look at it.

Your timimg is off. Choke down, club up, feet closer together, quiet lower body - dial everything back until you're hitting it solid again. Even if you have to dial it back to a chip shot. Then slowly crank it back up.

Take a break for a spell and get that shit out of your head, then hit the range. Start with half swings with a mid iron until you tidy things up, then do the same with 3/4 swings. When you get your shit together go thru the bag with full swings. Usually when my swing goes to shit, the problem is with the top of my backswing. Once I get back on track I erase all mechanical thoughts and go by feel. That's just me though. Good luck.

The swing falling apart is the first sign that you really are a dick. The correction for this is to be nice to as many people as possible right away, and then to continue this behavior long term.

For example, if you send me $1,000 I guarantee you'll see a difference in your golf swing. $1,000/month will be a bigger difference.

In that case it looks like my swing will never improve.
