year to year changes????

[Cly]

I have been paying for about 15 years and it always seems that from year to year one part of my game is good and the other part stinks.(i.e. driving vs irons)Last year I was hitting my driver really long and it was fairly predictable.while I seemed to pull all my iron shots.This year I am spraying the ball all over the place off the tee but my iron play is pretty good.(considering that I am playing a lot of recovery shots)I am still shooting the same scores but I would love to just have a year where my game comes together.....Maybe it's just the way the game gose...I hate to seek instruction this late in the year.....how can you keep your swing in shape through the off seson?

Maybe its in the head? 90% of all sports is in the head.

Cly,

What helped me most is to train the shoulders and arms regularly during winter. I used to swing a club freely just to remind me of what it feels like but then I realised that it doesn't feel like the real thing, there's no ball. Anyway, I prefer to hit balls at the range than swing a club freely.

I don't think about maintaining a swing, I don't have to since I don't think about the technique. Instead, I think about the purpose of the swing so it's easier for me to remember that on the first tee next season.
