Approach shots

[savosean]

I have been lacking on my approach shots last week, and I feel I lost all the hard work I have done over the summer. During the summer when I was golfing everyday, more then 1 round. My approach shots were perfect, always giving my self the chance for a birdie putt. Just recently I have been missing all my GIR, and having to chip and putt for par. I have some really good around the green chipping which has been saving my scores in the last week. But, I just want to get my consistency back.

I was at glen mar they other day, and I was dropping 20-30 golf balls on the ground near my approach shot points so between the 100 and 150 marker since that's were I am for all my approach shots at glen mar. I was fine when I could use my PW near the 150, but taking my GAP wedge and my 60 degree I was getting a 10-15 yard left to right. Could I be swinging differently with my higher degree wedges?

Thanks,

At the beginning of the year I could not hit a green to save my life. I figured I was rusty from a bad spring so I worked my butt off all summer thinking that the GIR's would come. It's now September and I have yet to hit a GIR. I gave up on my approach shots and decided to practice holing shots with my wedges, with some success. GIR's are overrated.

would posting a video with my swing make it easier for someone to help me?

Nearly impossible to tell what's going on by your post. One week is far too small of a sample size as well. Golf is going to kick you around and good play comes in cycles.

Focus on alignment, grip and posture then hit the range.

When I miss a GIR I usually push it 10-20 yards left of the green. Straight as an arrow just not straight at the green. I wondered what caused it an thought maybe it was alignment but turned out to be my grip. On a scale of one to ten my grip is about a two on the looseness factor, when to loose and I push the ball.
it's because the club face is open a bit too much at impact, just needed to tighten up my right hand on the club a bit. Not sure what is going on with your swing but a bad grip can cause a lot of target problems.
