A couple of things: -You probably hit too many balls. Think about it, you probably played 2-2 1/2 round of golf in that bucket of balls. You either got tired, which is why you started hitting poorly, or you got too comfortable in your good swings an inadvertently or subconsciously changed your swing -Golf is hard and your a beginner. Of course you’re gonna hit shitty shots in 250 tries -I’ve been playing golf a long time though not regularly. Still haven’t felt comfortable hitting hybrids. I prefer3-6 irons any day of the week to a hybrid -Going to the range is great as it helps muscle memory. And that’s great for training “habit” swings/mechanics. But it can also be muscle memory for bad mechanics. -Try this: go to a par 3 or a short 9-hole and take a putter, a wedge and low iron, say a 3 or 5. Don’t use any other clubs regardless of the distance of the hole. Use those three clubs only. If a par 3 is too long, pretend it’s a par 5 and you’re laying up, splitting the distance and go for the green in three. Or look to place your shot in a certain area for your next shot onto to the green. You’ll accomplish the same muscle memory training you do at a range, only you’re on a course. And you won’t be tempted to rush through a basket of balls because your hitting, then walking to your ball, then thinking about your shot, and then hitting again. Anyway, golf is awesome and I wish I had more time to play. Someday.
