I've been working on accuracy and consistency for several months (intermittently for a few years), and in the practice field, have felt much better about most parts of my game. I'm not going for huge distance, but just good consistency under 400'. Lately especially, my drive accuracy in the field with midranges, putters, and drivers has been really good.
However, in tournament play (7 rounds this year) I have been VERY unpredictable. I consider myself a 930ish golfer, with potential to be 950 or so. Out of 7 rounds, I've had 6 be less than 910. Putting has been typically great in tourneys, so practice in that area has definitely paid off. Driving, on the other hand, is all over the map. The biggest problem seems to be in the release point, and I'm getting a lot of slipped drives and bad aimed upshots. In the field I feel really good about my release point, but it's not translating into tourney play.
Any pointers for getting over that particular mental hurdle? Or is more practice the cure, giving myself a long time to have my "updated" technique become more the norm?
