My golf game sucks!

Stop playing golf, it's pretentious and dumb. Probably not the suggestions you were looking for, but internet..you get what you pay for.

It's not the OP that sucks, it's golf that sucks.

I love golf. Awful at it, but love it. My thing is, it's the only sport that you battle yourself. No one else effects the outcome. (Well, I suppose there's bowling?) It's almost 100 percent mental. And I'm a guy that thinks WAY too much. Before my swing, I always just take a second. I focus and take a big breath to kind of release everything from my brain. Then swing. It works for me, otherwise I'm literally thinking about my swing during my swing and am trying to correct things even if there's nothing wrong.

Work on your timing.

Once you get by the windmill blades, you're home free

Track and swimming are that way, too. Sure, you're racing/jumping/throwing against other people, but they aren't doing anything that would impede you from performing at your best.

You're lucky to be playing once a week right now. The first summer after my first kid was born I played twice. Last summer was slightly better; I got out five whole times. This summer I'm on pace for three rounds.

I wish I could play once a week too. The last two summers I have played 8 rounds, this year I have been out 3 times and two of those were 9 holes. Next summer we will have a 3 year old and a baby so I can't imagine that number rising. I am just happy my 12 handicap isn't rising at this point.
