Answer 1

spend time on your putting and chipping. You can take 9 storkes off there.

Answer 2

Well, the others here just gave zen-type stuff, but I'll give you some physical things you can actually do. I am a scratch golfer who, at the end of last year, had the pullhooks so bad I went to a 7. Here are my 4 best tips for quickly regaining form:

1) Get to the course an extra 10 minutes early and really do some good stretching. Stretching your hamstrings and lower back especially. I cannot emphasize the importance of this when you are struggling.

2) Take your heaviest club and throw a little donut weight on it ($2 at Wal-Mart) and take 20-25 warm up swings with your left hand/arm only. John Daly does this also. On every tee, do this. It helps your body move without your right arm, which will free you to make a better turn.

3) Tee the ball 1/2 higher and move it 1-2 inches further up in your stance for the driver. Shots off the top of the clubface may go somewhat higher, but the backspin will also force them to go straighter.

4) If you are really struggling, take an extra club on every shot and swing easy. If you go long, you go long, but you won't be constantly short all day. Psychology, I feel that coming up short into rough, fairway, or greenside bunkers makes you lose confidence quickly. And, if you aren't hitting the ball the best, the extra club may still get you to pin high. Just bite the bullet and take the extra club.

My last word of advice is this: When you are struggling mechanically, put as much extra effort into course management as you can possibly muster. Leave yourself uphill putts, lag putt well, leave yourself good yardages on your 3rd shot on par 5's, etc. I virtually guarantee you can save yourself 5 shots a round if you do this.

I used to caddy at a nice private country club in Clifton New Jersey.
The Upper Montclair Country Club.
Player sliced(or whats the other thing?..I forget) badly and took Mulligan. It was par 2 hole.
When he teed on Mulligan I watched the ball closely and saw it plop into hole.
THE PLAYER GOT A HOLE IN ONE ON HIS MULLIGAN!!
(but it is not scored as such...is it?)

excerpt from link
"Mulligan," in its golf sense, is a relatively new word, but was in common use on golf courses by at least the 1940s.
And there are many, many stories about the birth of the golf term "mulligan" ... and it's quite possible that none of them are true.

Because nobody really knows how mulligan acquired its golf meaning (a mulligan, of course, is a "do-over" - hit a bad shot, take a mulligan and try again).

Never swung a club in my life but I did enjoy working at club.
The players never used electric carts or pull carts...they always used caddies so I would carry 2 bags for 18 holes....when finished with that I would go to caddy shack ....get quick lunch ...then do another 18 holes with two bags.

SO...which would freak you out more?
A bad day of golf or a bad day AND hole in one on Mulligan?

Answer 4

The worst day on golf course is still better than the best day in the office.

Answer 5

You have to keep practicing between rounds. I suggest a practice net in your backyard. I have one, and it works great. It allows me to see the flight of the ball without hitting it 300 yards.

If you can't get a net, go to the practice range in your spare time.

In the words of Ben Hogan, "If I miss one day's practice I know it; if I miss two days the spectators know it and if I miss three days the world knows it." You cannot expect to be a good golfer if you only practice a couple of times a month, just as you cannot expect to be a great pianist if you practice only a couple of times a month.

Answer 6

if you are married get a divorced thats holding your golf game back. If you have a gf dump her unless she's a golf pro then better get some lessons.

Answer 7

Either you shot bogey plus one for nine or you set a record 26-under for eighteen.
The scratch golfer has good advice. Did he mention dropping one club number on the fairways 'til you get the handle back?

Answer 8

I would spend some time on the practice range. I would especially spend time on shots from 100 yds or less, especially pitches, chips & putts.

Answer 9

Work on the weakest part of your game. Eliminate the three puts and that should save a few points...

Answer 10

Not bad for 18 holes>>>>>>>>>
