How To Get Out Of A Damn Slump!!!!!!

Well I aint totally out of it yet............... BUT I think I am on my way. Last year my scoring average was a little bit under 77. The last three months have been horrible with maybe 4-5 rounds in the 70s and a few mid 80s and mostly low 80s. I think what happens a lot is that we get a little lazy....... maybe we dont get aligned up perfectly, maybe our tempo is getting a little quick, maybe we arent visualizing our shot beforehand, maybe we arent really looking at our target well enough and managing our games......... A LITTLE of this becomes a LOT and soon we are in Golf HELL!!!!!! What seemed like a relatively easy game becomes a series of struggles and battles that seem UNCONTROLLABLE. We lost a LITTLE confidence and then....... we start to lose HOPE!!!!!!!!! The game becomes a chore and not enjoyable........

I am on my OUT of this SLUMP by going back to SQUARE ONE: THE BASICS.......... Hit balls before every round and make sure you lay a club down to get your alignment. On the course get your alignment PERFECT or ELSE!!!!! Swing WITHIN yourself and dont swing at EVEN ONE BALL TOO HARD............ Take EXTRA CLUB OFTEN especially into the wind........Get your BALL POSITION PERFECT.......PLAY CONSERVATIVELY and DONT GO for any hero shots until you are OUT of your SLUMP!!!! HIT CHIPS past the hole when you can...... short chips almost always lead to bogeys.......On fairway woods just try to get the ball close to your TARGET and swing SMOOTHLY..........Work on SPEED in your putts more than LINE....... Be AGGRESSIVE in the bunker.......

NUMBER ONE: WORK ON CHIPPING AND SHORT PITCHES AND PUTTING..............

NUMBER TWO; ALWAYS GET YOUR ALIGNMENT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.............

NUMBER THREE; STAY SMOOTH AND DONT JUMP ON ANY SHOTS..............

I predict that in one month I will be BACK.................................................................
