Well, ive been practising hard lately, and i've been feeling as though its starting to pay off. Ive been hitting the ball about the best of my life lately and my putting and chipping is coming back after a short stint of retarded loss of feel at my last tourney this past week. Been missing an avg of 1 fw a round, piping my drives with a nice draw every time. Most of my irons are well struck, everything perfect on the range.
Then I actually go out and play... Still piping every drive, hittin on average 280-290 right now, my shortest drive of my day today was 275 down the centre, missed no fairways. Putting was pretty good, had 31 putts with the new Red X2 (but played at 33" until I get the belly shaft).
But then get this... shot 85:hunter:. Freakin crap shoot out there. Today was our Jr British Open, and two of the other 0-10 hdcp players were away at the Cdn Jr, all that were left were me and my other friend. So its match play pretty much. So im already 4 over through 5, and I havent missed a fw yet, I think i effed up every single approach shot on the course... I was 8 back through 9, and then kept having chance to get back into it, as I was in the middle of the fw EVERY HOLE and then he kept having problems off the tee.
Problem was that I'd chunk like every approach shot, hit an entire 5 GIR after hitting 14 FWs, NOT ONE HOLE i had more than a 6 iron in... 3 of the par 5s had irons in, one of them had a 6 iron in, and bogeyed them all. I was seriously contemplating just leaving and dumping my irons out the window on the way home, it was completely retarded...
Range warmup didnt miss a shot, practise after didnt miss a shot, on the course couldnt hit an iron for my life, I'd have literally had a better chance punching drivers off the fairway...
Wow... I've narrowed it down to either my mind sucks royal @$$ (which it probly does anyway), or my irons hate me, I know physically of why I kept hitting it fat, I kept dipping into the shot (which is why I pure every drive cuz I stand straight up and dont really move to swing down the line for a little nice draw)...
GAHHHHHHH....... freakin rant's over....... Maybe I can sort this out sometime soon so I dont show up in PA a choke artist...
edit- wow thats a long rant... watta waste of time to read:laugh:
