We’ve all been there — you hit one bad shot, then try to “fix” it on the next hole… and it only gets worse.
The key is to stop correcting mid-round. Go into your game with a plan for how to handle mistakes before you step on the first tee. Accept the miss, reset, and focus on your process instead of chasing perfection.

stop trying to correct each bad shot that you hit on the golf course. So, I played golf recently. Friend of mine came over. I won’t say his name, Darren Collins. Um, and we played golf and he drove the ball really well for the whole round. He gets to hole number 15 and slices it in the crap, loses his golf ball. It was the only really bad drive that he hit. We get onto the 16th T. He hooks the golf ball into the crap, loses the golf ball again. And I said to Daz, I said, “Daz, can I ask you a question? were you trying to fix the shot that you just hit on hole number 15? He says, “Yeah, I was just trying to I left the face open, so I was trying to close the face.” I said, “Well, that’s the only bad drive that you’ve hit all day.” And that one bad drive has led him to try and fix one bad shot when all the rest have been okay. And now he’s in a battle of actually overcorrection. And now on the next te, what’s he going to do then? So instead of actually trying to fix each bad shot and lose your golf swing, before you go out, have one focus for the whole round. You’re always going to hit bad shots. You’re always going to miss fairways. Have one focus for the whole round and stick with it. So when the bad shots happen, you’re not trying to fix each one. That’s going to destroy your round and you’re going to lose your golf swing.
Yup that’s me I do the same damn thing smh… lol.
Sounds like he did what the instructors do. He exaggerated the fix. 1 right, 1 left next straight. The guys a genius 😁
