My short game was also bad i was 2 putting almost every hole and chipping was terrible what r some reasons this is happening all of a sudden?

Answer 1

put your swing on swingacademy.com, its free and pro's will analyze it and draw planes and other lines to help you out. It could have just been a bad day, when you go back see if it is still the same, if it is, maybe consider taking a lesson because it could be some bad habits or too tight of a grip etc...

Answer 2

no focus/ bad day/ etc wait for tomorrow

Answer 3

A  bad day at the office.

It happens and don't let it get to you. Don't worry untill you start shooting more of these "bad" rounds.

One thing to remember, don't get over each shot saying that or even thinking about playing a bad shot...because you will!

If you continue to play bad, then go to a pro and take some lessons.

A little story here, two years ago I suddenly got the shanks...and any golfer knows the shanks is the worst "bad" shot in a round. I was shanking everything, which I started to hit woods from everywhere to try and stop it.

By now this had been going on 6months, and I really do not know how I carried the game on, but after 6months I took professional help.

Im not saying wait 6months, but see how the next month pans out for you

Answer 4

"My short game was also bad i was 2 putting almost every hole " ... what do you usually do, I putt? C'mon!   Are you one of those guys we see in the golf store complaining that he needs a new driver becasue he can only hit it 320 into the wind?

Answer 5

Somedays your brain and your body just don't connect and you can't make a good swing to save your life.  Don't worry you will have days when the opposite happens and you are on cruise control hitting one great shot after another.

Answer 6

this happened to me last week on 18 i shoot in the 70's every time but last week i broke 100 i was doing every thing that you could possibley imagine wrong going ob in all the water thin chips ieven 4 putted after being on the green in one (seriousley i don't like to admit that one often) it thought the golf gods shunned me i didn't know what to do. i woke up the next day went to the driving range hit proabally 200 balls and every thing was feeling good went to the course and shot low 70's. i felt more focused and was concetrating harder with a non frustated mind i guess that was the problem i just didn't focus on the job at hand and that is what happened so now i make shure to remain focused at what i am doing and so far all is well. because i never want a day like that again. so my best guess for ya is rember to stay focused.
