I have a hard time getting motivated when I practice nowadays. I hit shots that boggle my mind. I have too many "I used to be able to do this or that" thoughts in my head the last few years. Kind of drains your motivation. Not from lack of effort though. Time to pull the plug and move on. Look out deer!!
BINGO!
Exactly the problem.When you can't do what you used to it actually makes it harder to hit a good shot. When I stop thinking I stick great shots. When I start thinking I'm done. Like shooting a 42 on the front and then a 52 on the back and the back is easier. While I only played 2 days a week I practiced every day then. Used to hit my 9 iron at a telephone pole on campus in college. Now Ipractice right before I tee off.
