are you spending time on the short game?
I played a round yesterday and putted 22 times on the front nine.
Terrible score.

I putted 18 times on the back and made on or two fewer duffs chipping around the greens and I was happy with the back nine score.

I know I need to spend more time on the short game, but my problem was my long game.  On the driving range, for example, I was hitting my driver long and straight almost every time.  But when I was on the first tee yesterday, my drive was a big sweeping hook into the woods.  So I took a mulligan, and it was another big sweeping hook, almost into the woods.  I managed to correct my driving for a few holes, but then on the back 9 I started hitting a big sweeping fade into the woods.  

A lot of my shots yesterday were low and to the left, so obviously I was closing the club face too much.
