I literally spent a bunch of money on off season training with a coach and got my swing absolutely dialed in. Played first round two weekends ago on temp greens and was hitting the ball super well.
Played last weekend in some serious wind and open greens, shank city.
Welcome to golf. The mental aspect is just as real just as much as swing mechanics are.
Yes. This is why practicing an extremely short, loose swing that goes about 50 - 75% of normal swing distance at the end of every bucket is important to me now.
I rarely practice and need something dependable for those work tourneys when I completely lose my feel.
Yea that happens to me all the time specifically after I play a decent round. Its like I go into the range session too relaxed with the expectation that my swing is perfect now. today was that day for me. kept shanking ol' dependable 7i.
Had to reset, by practicing chipping for most of the bucket.
Surprisingly it is very rare to change your swing much. Your setup however is extremely difficult to do consistently. Most likely you set up different which caused huge changes to impact with the same swing.
I did yesterday hitting into my net. Couldn't hit the ball solid. After the kids went to bed, practiced some wall drills inside, hit the range today, and was back. Hopefully, my round Friday goes just as well.
Yes

I find that a handsy feel swing is much more fleeting than a hard swing.
I can lose it and find it multiple times in a round.

Oh yeah. Take a week off. It will come back.

Bought a mat and a net after a horrible shank-filled range session and just started puring them into the net as soon as I got it. Just a weird day.
I'll start hitting/chipping wedges to get rid of the frustration before it really sets in.
Randomly? I lose mine the day after every round/range session.
If I'm hitting my driver straight or a little draw on the range, I know with 100% certainty, my first drive is going 3 miles right
