Totally defeated

Sitting here ... Thinking about what went wrong...
Why I can't seem to hit any ball nicely?
And it's like I'm worse than when I first started.

I am so disheartened. Totally defeated by me, myself and I.

Sob.. Sob... Sob....

if it is any consolation, I have been play for almost 6 months, at least one range session a week.

I still can't hit ball cleanly. Golf is not a easy game loh..

Thanks nrafee ... yah I know it's not an easy game. But ... But...

MY dear, nobody can master golf. Not even the pros. Just take GOLF as an acronym. It stands for GO ON LEARNING FOREVER !!! Hope this helps. Don't give up. Persevere and you will succeed somewhere in time haha You must try, try and try, You succeed at last..... as the song goes....

such irony....I have the same feeling on and off....even after >3+++ years of golf.

does this help?

If not, I can try to impart my golf philosophy to you.

Welcome to the SCSC club.

You guys are such wonderful bunch though I've not met u. Guess it's the passion u have for the sport yah?

I m gonna take a rest. Freshen up and head to amk hub for SALT. Who wanna join? Kekeke

Actually there is nothing wrong playing a bad round of golf.
Having a Bad day at work is worst off - sucks.

Hitting left and right except the center make one a exciting player too.
The "SometimesCanSometimesCannot" player.

Oh now I know what's SCSC

I guess I can b too hard on myself when I comes to work and something I like. :p

ok shall take it easyyyyyy

Thanks all for ur comforting words

Playing bad golf? Aiyo... Dun worry about it.. Just focus on your problems.. Get advice and work on those problems.. When you see yourself improve.. That is when you will get to enjoy golf more and more..

And not forgetting that it is the company that makes the game fun too..

Ups and downs is part of golf. Some days, you feel as if most if not all aspects of your game is coming together, whereas other days, you need to grind through 18 holes. Even pros have off days, and sometimes these days can last for months! No worries, just enjoy the game and the company. And don't forget to get a good coach to help you along the way - it helps reduce some of the frustration

New term scsc. Haha but I am more of RC player. ( Rarely Can )

I'm still a beginning beginner
Was at range practising my swing. Seriously CMI.
Had no company as khakis not available...

Oh well, let's just hope for a better tomorrow bah!

18 holes ... maybe in my dreams

Yah, agree on that. A good coach should be able to reduce some of the frustration.

When all else fails, and that is VERY often for me, my last straw will be to enjoy the good shots ( a few here and there), the company, and hopefully, the weather. Golf becomes the distraction.

Take your mind off and sometime, you may play better.

Sob.. Sob... Sob....

not to worry so much, i'm sure everyone face this problem before

only thing i can say is don't give up.... this is a learning circle

one of the things that i have learned about the golf swing is that most golfers swing very well when they are doing a practice swing. once they step up to the ball, its a different matter. if golfers can swing the club at the ball and take their mind off the ball and concentrate on making the swing, it will not only feel different, you will be amazed at how far you can hit your clubs.

How do you swing well? well there are lots of drills and exercises that you can do.

Regulars at the Den will know what we mean by Instinctive Golf. It has helped me tremendously and it will help you too.

DGman

I can vouch for that... I swing better after DGMan's help to free all the swing techies inside the head.
Now I try to follow the motto:
"Just swing it"

Hmm.....time to go for refresher lessons at the Den.

Go and read "golf is not a game of perfect" by Bob Rotella and that should open up your thoughts about golf.

Even Tiger having this problem now...

With all his super talents.. he can't even putt straight... what more normal beings like us.....

This is Golf... Just Dig it...!

OMG, it's happening again.

It's a cycle thing isn't it? Need to take a break from golf once in a while isn't it?
