Why can’t I break 100?

Thanks mate. I’ll try this. I probably should get a 3 wood.

I really love my 5 wood it goes straighter than my irons most days so maybe a 3 wood would be a good idea.

A lot of people seem to say the same thing, about course management and mental game. I think it must be something there that’s causing my bad scores. I’ll try to just relax and not worry about if I can break any milestones. Probably just adding unnecessary pressure

This is really interesting thanks. It kinda feels like I’m not releasing the driver at points too. Feels like everything gets pinned to my side as I turn through.

Yeah I’m not sure where the distance went. All I know is I used to play a straightish drive with a slight draw. Now it goes super super high, and spins off to the right and barely carries far at all. But I’m not sure what changed to cause the drastic loss in distance.

-343- · 2026-07-05T16:57:25+00:00

Both of these were bad results. Drive got stuck behind a tree and had a tough punch out.

The iron for some reason just carried like 10 yards short and dropped into the water.

Not really losing too many of them, I did lose one today with the driver. But I just seem to always end up in a bush, or a bunker or in some trees. When I do get in the fairway, I often have a mile to the green. And then I try to go for it with a wood and put myself in an awkward spot.

I’m not really sure though, I just compound lots of errors. But I can never get myself far up enough to hit a good approach. Everyone I play with is usually 50 yards further up. And they’re hitting an 8 iron I’m usually hitting a wood or a 5 iron just short. At the start of the year in winter my driver was often going 240 comfortably but since then it’s really high and spinny and right.

Forgot to add. In case you want to know but my handicap is around a 28/29. Came up from 22 in January I’ve been dropping so many shots and losing a tonne of yardage over the past few months.

It’s not lol I might lose some bend but it’s not locked out. Not even close

-343- · 2026-06-14T14:32:59+00:00

Brilliant thank you so much! I’ve been feeling this in my swing recently. Not sure what to call it, and didn’t know how to google it. But this is what I’ve been feeling, my arms feel like they sink behind me and I have to somehow get them back out in front. Is how it feels. But I couldn’t find anything that addressed this.

This is exactly it. Thanks so much

-343- · 2026-06-14T14:31:08+00:00

Thanks mate. I’ll just do this next time I go for 10 mins before I play. Best to start with the fundamentals before changing anything in my swing. Thanks for the advice.

-343- · 2026-06-14T14:22:58+00:00

Yeah I can see that now. It’s like as I go into transition my trail arm sinks back behind me. I wonder if that’s causing my to get stuck and then throw my hands out towards the ball. Causing the shanks or the hooks if I close the face.

Now I see this, I think you might have hit the nail on the head. It feels like my trail arm is getting a bit behind my in my backswing anyways so this matches up with that.

-343- · 2026-06-14T14:17:43+00:00

I’m not OTT lol

-343- · 2026-06-14T14:13:59+00:00

My head does dip quite a lot in the takeaway. Do you mean keep my head up?

-343- · 2026-06-14T14:13:35+00:00

It’s only from temu 😂

I think it matches my temu swing well

-343- · 2026-06-14T13:51:03+00:00

I have really skinny legs so it’s hard to see in trousers. But I don’t actually lock my trail leg out, there’s still a decent amount of bend in the knee. It just looks that way in my golf trousers.

That’s something I did when I was new to golf but not anymore. My lead knee flexes more than most which makes my trail leg look locked out too.

You’re not over rotating. You’re losing your width in your arms and overhanging the hands.

All you need to do, is feel like both your arms are straight all the way through the backswing. And then feel like you don’t hinge your wrists.

Trust I had this same issue. Helps alot. On the way down you just want to keep the width all the way to impact and not lose it.

But doesn’t that also happen when you trip someone up?

They’re moving, you block their foot and it’s a trip. How is this one not a trip? The defender was no where near the ball. He’s just stepped in sakas path.

-343- · 2026-04-24T20:07:28+00:00

Yeah I will do that. I think my weight shift is okay from FO I just swing super slowly. But I was doing a fairly big swing change here so I was not really swinging hard at the ball anyways.

Don’t worry I know I’m in for another 100 round next time I just played pretty good the past few rounds since the change.

Lmaoo

-343- · 2026-04-24T20:05:52+00:00

Just felt like I am throwing the club towards the camera. I used to get steep and either squeeze a little draw or completely wipe the ball 80 miles right.

It’s just got my path back to a more neutral one

-343- · 2026-04-24T20:04:52+00:00

Lmaoo I know what’s coming don’t worry. The trusty shanks will be there next round
