You guys ever feel like your game is right on the cusp of coming together but it never seems to get there? Frustrating! :) I've been working with a short game coach for about two months now and I'm seeing some awesome results. But I've been focusing so much on the short game that now the driver and irons are beginning to suffer.

So I start focusing on getting the drives straight again and now the short game is backsliding... It's like I need three of me to practice all things at once :)

I love to hate this game.

I don't know if you're a fan of the Golf Fix, but Michael talked about this on Monday. Since golf is not our job, we don't get to practice like pros. His point was to try and practice a little bit of everything with the time you have. That's the only way to improve your whole game.

Connecting all the dots is hard! Driving, approach shots, short game, and putting are all equally skilled efforts. When my driving is poor, my approach shots may be strong. Maybe it's poor approach shots, but the short game is sharp. It's weird. I may have only had a handful of rounds where all are fairly strong....That's probably why we work so hard at this game.

That is why we don't get paid to play! But we love it just as much!

"ever feel like your game is right on the cusp of coming together but it never seems to get there?"

See that's how they get you, the golf Gods let you hit a few shots just like the pros just so you get hooked. (Kind of like a drug dealer)

And then they take it all away. Now you left chasing the high of the good shot while you're in withdrawal after hitting the bad shot.

But somehow you know you're just SO CLOSE to putting it all together and if you just keep at it you know you'll finally reach your potential greatness that somehow maybe with a few more practice sessions, episodes of the fix, tips from a friend you will inevitably reach..........and that my friend is why we love this game!

Keep at it bro, you're almost there!!
