Disappointing...

Played Hollingbury tonight and was actually very disappointed with how it went. On a perfect night for scoring, I had to play last 5 holes in -2 to shoot 77. At one point it looked like I might not even break 80. This is far from what I was expecting as my confidence was really high. I just couldn't trust my swing AGAIN!! I do trust what I've been working on - countless successful range sessions lately have reinforced that to me. I just couldn't produce it on the course tonight. It's quite funny and ironic how the problem escalated really. I pushed a couple of shots early on and could then feel myself fighting against making the backswing that I have been learning recently and the one that has lately hit a ton of good shots.
Whenever I got it right, I did hit good shots - at least I can take heart from that but I guess everything changes on the course.
One thing I did realise was that if keep my backswing fairly slow, I stand a lot more chance of making the correct turn on my downswing but I have got to keep my spine angle!! I hit a good few thins tonight as a result of not doing this.

I guess the work continues...
