What do you do when you absolutely lose your game?

I re-read all my swing and practice notes from years past, the answer is always there

 

also, buy 1 new piece of equipment

Since you're going on a golfing trip in 2 weeks just go back to your basics and work on your stance and swing.  After the trip do a total overhaul of of the swing.  Format your brain of your knowledge of the golf swing and look at the concept of the swing in a different way and work on that concept.

 

That's what I did 9 years ago when I was on the verge of quitting the game and now I shoot in the 70s with 20 year old clubs.

So after hitting some balls at work I may have made a simple revelation. My grip would appear like it got extremely strong. Borderline 4 knuckles lead hand and a strong ish neutral trail hand. Compound that with an Overtop move and me trying to motorcycle move and that maybe causing the snap hooks. I guess I'll make an adjustment for my scramble tomorrow and see what happens.

Oh boy. 

 

Don't forget to think about dropping it in the slot, Justin Rose drill, having shaft lean at impact, hands stay ahead, Ground Force Reactions, turn and burn and your appropriate side bends.

I mean that's what most likely was happen since I've tried to ingrain the move in my swing. I don't have a million swing thoughts on the course. Here's the target, hit it to the target.

Should I go back to basics? 

Why did you ever leave?
