There's a course I play when I am in FT. Worth (Rockwood) that is really tough for me to break 90 on. My poor putting, (for what ever reason) is usually the culprit. A bit frustrating to say the least, but I just keep playing that course multiple times on every visit. Other courses in the area are no problem for me to play my normal game.

I think I have quit this game probably a couple of 100 times in the past 45 years. I think the longest period of time I was actually done with golf was probably and hour or so.

If golf was an easy game - we wouldn't play. I'd love to be more consistent - who wouldn't, but knowing that every round is going to bring new challenges - some fun and some frustrating is what brings me back week in and week out.

I was actually done with golf for 6 weeks once. I had spent over 6 weeks having rounds in the 70's and my handicap was sitting nicely at 6.6. I went out with some buddies to play a really easy course one Friday afternoon. Coming up the 18th fairway, I was sitting at 99 and I had a 110 yard approach to the green. I hit a "lateral" into a creek that ran along the fairway. I put my club up, pulled my bag off the cart and told my buddies I would be seeing them, they could bid on my clubs on eBay starting the next morning.

I was seething. I did not pick up a club for almost 6 weeks even though I lived on a course and could see people playing every day. I was a member at a CC and all my friends were calling trying to get me to come back out. I was DONE! I finally took a half set of clubs in an old bag and played 9 on the course where I lived. I didn't hit too many bad shots, so slowly, I started to play again.

I am going to go back to the range and swing 9-to-3 and if I am hitting it solid go the forward tees with just my irons and play 18 using just 9-to-3.

You'll be amazed at how quickly the 9-to-3 drill will get you back to hitting irons crisp again. I've had to utilize this drill and if I catch it quick enough it only takes around 30 balls to really start getting the groove again. Stick with it, you'll be fine!

LOL...I think I've lasted as long as two.

I know quite a few golfers who are consistent, relatively speaking. My only consistency is my inconsistency. :-)

Thanks...and it has helped.

It happens. Earlier this year, my USGA was at 9.6 and I cleared 100 twice in one month while battling the shanks. It happens to everybody.

That's a tough one. I'm starting to get back on an even keel.

A hole in one will get you jump-started! Congratulations!

I shoot an 80 and a 75 and a few days later go out and shoot a 92. Couldn't hit an iron to save my life, and for the first time ever had the dreaded s...k's.

I am going to go back to the range and swing 9-to-3 and if I am hitting it solid go the forward tees with just my irons and play 18 using just 9-to-3.

Oy Vey!

Not counting my ex-wives, golf is the most frustrating thing I ever loved.

C-Tech, that's one of most quotable posts I've seen, lol. Sounds like something Lee Trevino would say!

There are days that I seriously question why I play this game. Then I come out and play a great round and fall in love with it all over again. But it is so hard to put back to back great rounds together and thats why I admire the pro's game SO much.
