I'd have a handful of good swing results per round but never enough to have a hope of even parring a hole. Took more lessons, found that I had developed a nasty swing fault of cupping my lead wrist a the top of the swing which rotated the club way off plane, and it happened so automatically and so subconsciously that I couldn't fix it. It took so much concentration to keep the wrist flat that I couldn't make a good swing, and practicing it for months with the help of video and a Tour Striker wrist indicator that \"clicks\" never got to the point where it helped.
