Interruption #4:
My golf clubs are wrong
Golden Bullet #4:
It’s probably not your golf clubs: Change them or move on. Either way stop tinkering
OK – I don’t think this will be popular but here goes…
There’s nothing wrong with your golf clubs. They are not the cause of your poor play, never have been and probably never will be.
If you think that your golf clubs are the cause of your issues the solution is easy. Get rid of them. If you’re serious about your game you can’t afford to be using clubs that you don’t feel comfortable with. Chuck them.
This step is the last resort. The majority of golf clubs are just fine. My advice is to stop tinkering and learn to use your current clubs. The chances are there’s not much wrong with them.
Example: Poor putters have a habit of changing putters after a bad putting round. This is the easy option: blame the putter and move on. The hard thing to do is to admit that you’re a bad putter and work out how to fix it. Changing putters is a quick fix – learning to improve your putting is a long term solution.
Footnote: Once you learn to find your natural swing and play without internal interference, you can get a benefit from having clubs that are matched to your game. Obviously you can only do this when you can play free from distraction.
