Has 2018 been a year where the will has been there, but the game hasn’t? Has this year been one where the highs have been punctuated with the inexplicable, involuntary lows where the form disappears as quickly as it arrived?
You’re not alone, it’s why when you see the guys on tour, they could post a 62 one day and be on top of the world in front of the Sky Cart and then the next it’s a 74 and they are not in contention any more. They fluctuate between the sublime and the ridiculous. The big difference is that their ridiculous is a dream day for you!
There is an age-old adage in golf which goes, “You are only as good as your bad shot.” Which really is the point of this piece. How destructive is your bad shot and where does it go? If it is a ‘thin’ which goes straight then chances are, unless it appears around the green, you will be able to play at a good standard. However, if it is a big slice, which requires a fairway 100 meters wide to be able to accommodate it, then you have a problem.
Let’s leave the unmentionable sh**k word out of this, but if you have either problem, they can be cured. Seriously, they can be cured; by using a different club, a slight change in the grip or even standing just a little further away.
If you or your partner has had a tough time with their golf this year, this is the perfect time to address the situation so that 2019 is a much-improved year. Christmas is coming, and you can get ahead of the New Year’s resolution business by booking a session at our Academy to get a fresh perspective on the causes of the destructive shot, and perhaps to eliminate it once and for all.
