For me, as it is for most I assume, if i'm not regularly playing or practicing my game falls off and I lose "the feel." It angers me when I go backwards, but I don't have the time to practice like that anymore. Oh well, someday.

The more i play, the better my ball striking and distance control gets, but the worse my putting gets.
Seems like I putt a lot better the first round out. If i could get both to happen in the same round i might just have some game.

I am now lucky to play 1 or 2 times a month, I try to stay sharp by chipping and hitting a ball here and there in my back yard. It doesnt work, distance control is a mess usually and my driver is all over the place. Oddly, like Clark, my putting isnt usually that bad for how little I play.

My driver usually perks up a little when I haven't played in a while... Kind of weird considering it's the swing with the most room room for error.
No idea if I would go backwards or not...was pretty crappy to begin with anyways. Haven't swung a club in 19 months, got the urge a few weeks ago but it quickly passed.

There was a point there where I practiced chips/pitches a lot at the course by my house. I was at the point of almost always being able to put a chip/pitch into tap in territory. Everything needs practice, but the real game-saver for me goes quickly when i'm not all in with golf. It's frustrating knowing what you used to do not that long ago and then not being able to replicate it.

I just went and hit some chips, pitches, and bunker shots down at the little muni by my house this morning. I am going to take advantage of our extended good weather to do this whenever I get a chance and try to gain/maintain as much feel as I can until next season. That may not be as much as I want, but it'll be something.
Wish I had a practice facility closer. Closest thing with a putting green is 20 minutes. Closest with a sand bunker is 35 minutes.
This was my problem too. So I went and got a few truck loads of masonry sand and made my own bunker. This had tremendous results on my game. As for putting, I putt in the house on carpet.

I've spent most of the last three golf seasons following my daughter around golf courses in WI and IL. That little ten year old in my avatar is now 15 and a low single digit 'cap. Plays a lot of tournament golf. I post a few other places. I open up ShotTalk once in a while and take a peak. I've been getting emails from the site so I thought I might write a post or two if I have something to add.
