As the title says, I am almost at the point of giving up the game. I am just throwing/playing so bad right now that going to the course ruins my day and really makes me hate my self.... I know that sounds stupid but I am man enough to admit it.
Disc Golf is not even fun at this point, it has become such a number chasing game and I am almost forcing my self to go play.
Over the last several months my distance has gone from pushing 300' to 320' at times on the course to a good rip ( yeah, right?) gets me 275' max.
I used to be good at approach shots now that's gone, I am weak-arming my shots and they hyzer/fade too early. I have lost the ability to throw a straight mid/putter shot.
I got decent around the basket from 25' and in for a while, now I get "basket panic" on 10 footers :doh:. I have zero confidence at the moment...
My mental game is not existent and I continually tell my self "You Suck" after every mistake...bad drives ,bad ups , missed putts.
Feeling like having a disc clearing house sale right now. Keep an eye out for my sale thread.
Most likely I need to take a break for a bit and comeback to it. I used to do this every year at one point, no playing, no dg on the internet, etc. Just sequester my self away for a couple of weeks or so.
The weather was sooo great here that we pretty much did not have a winter season. I just could not "not" play when the weather was so awesome thru Dec, Jan, and Feb.
Pretty sure it has been over a year ( maybe two ) of playing with no break time/time away. I might just disappear for a bit or lurk here and there occasionally. I really don't want to give up the game. I am just tired of being so excited to go play and then quickly being so disappointed with my self afterwards....
Thanks for letting me vent and "share my feelings" ( I know men are not supposed to do that right? ) with you guys here. This is a great place and would miss it if I quit cold turkey.
