Hi Everybody! I know it has been a while since I have posted anything new. Too tell you the truth, I have been playing so poorly, I didn't know what to say. I had such high hopes for this season. I was swinging great, putting well, and had new equipment. Everything seemed to be in order to have a fabulous season.
The first tournament in Lakeland had more good things in it than bad. I hit 13 fairways in the first round, however, I only hit 5 greens that day. That in itself is a feat and hard to do. The new clubs I had been sent had X-300 shafts in them…meaning they are extremely stiff. I could hit them straight as a string but I couldn't hit them anywhere. I could never get the right club in my hand. So I did what any reasonable person would do, I had the shafts changed.
At this point, I am thinking problem solved….Wrong. Long story short, I have played with a different set of irons every week. It has been a nightmare and not much fun. It is difficult playing competitive golf not knowing how far you carry your clubs and not knowing your tendencies with certain irons.
The third set I played with had the lie angles off by four degrees. I had to play with those in Lafayette. That tournament just brought me to my knees. I hit rock bottom when it comes to confidence and enjoyment. I was so frustrated that I thought what am I doing…should I be doing something else?
The answer is no! I am a very good golfer. I have been thrown a curve ball with my equipment. I will get it worked out. I pray it is sooner rather than later. I have one more tournament to play with an unknown quanity then I have a week off where I hope to get something that suits me better.
To be honest, my scores have been the worst since I started playing competitive golf. But I am hitting my driver extremely well and swinging well. I will play well again. Golf is the strangest game – when you are playing well you feel like you will always play well and when you are playing poorly you think it will never end. I am at the bottom of the curve right now but I am sure looking forward to getting back on top of the cycle!!
I want to thank all my friends and fans that check out my site and offer continued support. It means more to me than you know. I feel blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. My promise to you is that I will keep my chin up and keep working. I would prefer that you got to write me "good job" message than a "keep plugging" note. But most of all thanks for writing
All the best, Tiff
