Lately, my golf game has been on a downtrend, and it is disheartening despite playing for so many years now. I have been facing a new struggle – the approach shots with my short irons. Something is incorrect somehow, and this causes me to strike the ball wrong. Not once or twice, but all the time. Sigh.
I keep shanking my shots! Like yesterday, I had four instances approaching the green when this happened. I couldn’t be more peeved with myself. The worse part – I cannot figure out my problem to resolve it. Is it my stance, downswing, alignment, or something else? There are so many variables, making it a new struggle.
The tee-offs, second shots with the woods or hybrids, short games, and putting are all fine except this. Perhaps a few trips to the driving range to correct this rather than trying to figure it out mentally? Otherwise, I am confusing myself and continue with my struggle. I should make an effort to fix this soon.
