Frustration on the course

Posted by James Nierodzik

Hello golf fans, what a US Open we had!

I haven’t been posting much lately due to frustration with my golf game and lack of time.  I’m still enjoying the game as much as ever if not more, but it seems like the last few times out I’m taking steps backwards rather than forwards.  

I think a lot of my problems stem from over eagerness which causes me to rush.  I lose a ton of strokes out on the course each time due to getting to quick and making poor shots.  I’m also having a hard time committing to my shots if it’s not one I’m comfortable with.  For example this last weekend I must have had 5 lies that were either severely above or below my feet.  Past experience has shown me that I do not hit that shot very well and bam thats all I can think about so of course I mess the shot up.  I also seemed to be playing the game of second shot first.  This happened all throughout the round, but the worst was on one of the par 3’s.  I push my ball way left and it’s probably lost so I hit a provisional.  Sure enough that shot lands about 4 feet from the cup.  Tap in for a bogey :(  

So keys for me to work on… work on my tempo, commit to the shot and change my outlook, and go through my pre-shot routine.

    James, you’re not alone. I’ve only recently started seeing some improvement in my own game, but that space between my ears always seems to get in the way.

    Isn’t it both great and bad how the adrenaline rushes through you when you get to the first tee box after a considerable layoff? I think that being mentally and physically relaxed when you’re addressing the ball is one of the hardest things to do, especially when you have all these swing thoughts going through your head … all this despite how much practice you’ve done, how much you try to adhere to your pre-shot routine, etc. It stinks to have to work for a living, eh?

    Thanks for your thoughts. It’s almost like looking in a mirror!

  2. XMScott Said,

    I hope a lot of these issues get solved by your pre-shot routine. Dont give up on it and dont forget it.
    Not just your stance and approach, but your thoughts and ideas too.

    Good luck out there.

  3. James Nierodzik Said,

    Yeah I really need to actually come up with a good preshot routine … I actually used to be a competitive bowler and mental focus is pretty important there too so you would think I would apply the lessons already learned to my golf game LOL

    In time though I guess =)
