Irons are no longer pure, I've developed a laser beam 280 yard t shot that goes DIRECTLY left and out of play, and I'm putting like I have oven mitts on my hands.

This game is SO frustrating.
I find my worst golf is after my best golf. I can even tell what's happening - I got to my best golf by focusing on fundamentals and not score. Then when that translates to a good score I tighten up and get in my own head trying to replicate everything that was working instead of just playing loose but focused. So annoying.

"You have to par a hole like this because that's what you were doing to get that 85 last week" - hyperfocus on dropping a 150 yard approach beside the cup, watch adrenaline and pressure slice it 80 yards right.
