More Driving Woes

I played 18 last night by myself and another 18 this morning with my usual 3-ball and too be quite frank my driving is shocking.

Putting - OK
Chipping and pitching - OK
Irons - Good
Hybrid and 3 Wood - Good
Driver - Shockingly Bad

Basically everything turn right at the tee. Either a push slice or a straight slice.

Yesterday was quite bad, today was absolutely unreal. Slice after slice, after slice. I think I managed to hit 1, maybe 2 fairways.

I'm just not squaring up the club face and holding it open. I know I'm doing it I can feel it in my swing. I'm just not getting the club head through the ball. And I just couldn't get myself to commit to the shot.

So, after today's round, grabbed 25 balls on the range. Wind right in the face. Guess what, 22 went right down the middle with just a hint of fade. Sliced 1 and pulled 2.

This is driving me freaking nuts (no pun intended). It's obviously not my swing, it's in my head. For some reason when I'm on the course I just can't get myself to commit to the swing.

And that's a major issue. if it was my swing, I can work on it on the range. Because it's in my head, I'm going to have to find some mental drill to use on the course.

Or I'm just going to have to play through it until I get my confidence back.
