Seriously thinking about quitting golf. My Irons lost a substantial amount of distanc
Hey everyone

New to the forums here. Let me introduce myself. I have been golfing for about 6 months and have seen great results. I used to hit my irons pure with a nice little fade. Played with a 20 hcp due to horrible putting and subpar short game.

About a month ago my game went to hell. I have been hitting all of my irons the same distance at the range and course. The ball goes straight, but im hitting all my irons about 75 yards with a high trajectory. Ive tried practicing hitting down on the ball, play with ball positions and grips and i cant get out of this slump. I am serisouly thinking about quitting this game that i love and hate. Any insight would be appreciated.

i would quit if i was you. jk are you taking divots every time and hitting the ball first because 75 is pretty short for any healthy human being swinging pretty much any club

Yes i do take divots. even when the divots are after the ball it still happens sometimes. but i also hit it fat too. Sometimes i take a small divot. Every once in a great while i will pure a shot. I am a pretty strong person. I am hitting my driver just fine. I am averaging 240 yds with a fade(being honest here). So i think the problem might be in sweeping at the ball. I am a swinger by the way...

Golf is a tough game. However especially starting, you need to get an instructor which will help you. Ideally this will be a golfing machine instructor and there are none finer than Lynn here. However if fiancial or other reasons don't allow this, rather than go through a labyrinth without any kind of map I would then urge you to even see any instructor that has any success in your area. No teacher can really harm you - all you have is gains to make. If you are hitting it 75 yards with your all your irons, you have major problems in your stroke but don't despair about it. Beat it with persistance and dilligence.

In the words of Harry Vardon

"don't stop hitting the ball"....

Golfs too good to quit !

I would love to find a golf machine instructor. However i live in Washington state and the nearest one i could find on the golf machine website is a guy who lives on the other side of the state. Anyone know of any instructors out in the Seattle area?

You need "lag/resistance/heaviness/shaft bent/shaft stressing". Load it and sustain it.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
