How to Play Inconsistent Golf

April 26, 2010 - PRLog -- I’m quite similar to this, as per my profile name!! have played to six but also shot stupidly over my handicap. My handicap has been 17 for the last 3 summers! go down to 16 and creep up towards the end so always have one under par round per comp.

i am handicap focused but after reading alot of posts, im going to try and change the focus to enjoying it, im not in work, number of fairways hit, number of putts, a bit of course management and just ensuring on my chipping that im getting to the hole. try not to think about scoring, and even play to bogey golf where i know i will get your fair share of pars!!

I have been really inconsistent in the past and it used to frustrate the arise off me.

It's much better now and I put it down to the following reason:

1) Read Bob Rotella's book about putting and just stopping thinking about the mechanics of putting and just aimed at the hole.

2) Watched Phil Michelson’s short game DVD and specifically the Hinge and hold technique for chipping. (My short game was rank but now its a strength).

3) Practice short game more then long game.

4) Never make swing thoughts during a round - get your set-up correct, your grip correct, be specific about your target and just pull the trigger. It wont always work but you will be a lot more relaxed if you are not thinking about how to swing the club.

Sometimes I slip back into old habits - like trying to change something during a round and that is the battle I keep having to fight - when I Just observe the rules above I play much better.


I'm another one where i get mental problems, and my mind plays tricks with my swing!! confidence is part of  it!! however,  i do find though if i start well in a comp i will score well!!!
