I went and played 18 today. When I got to the course I was feeling really good, the last round I played I broke 80 for the first time in a very long time. My confidence was through the roof. I had a few warm up swings in the nets and felt really good.
Went to the first hole, a par 5 and bogied it. Didn't even deserve that, should have been a double or a tripple just got lucky with a chip in. Then it went down hill from there. I didn't hit one GIR, didn't get a single par and ended up shooting 104 for the day. In just a couple of days my game went from 79 to 104. No matter what I did I couldn't hit the ball right.
Could it have been overconfidence? I was paired with a really annoying guy but normally that kind of thing doesn't affect my game. What do you do to come back from a round like that? I have mechanisms in place to cope when I mess up one hole but messing an entire round up like that just shoots your confidence.
If you figure it out, please share the answer with the rest of us!!

I have been there so many times I cannot count them. I was just posting in another thread how I was playing some great golf just 6 weeks ago, and now I cannot get the clubface onto the ball. Usually I take a few days off, and then when I do get back out to a range I start out with some short game shots and try to get the feel back. When I start taking full swings, I just try to make contact and don't think about distance at all.

That said, I'm in a pretty serious swing funk right now.
