I’ve been golfing for just over a year and I’ve been extremely happy with the progress I’ve made. However, since the start of the new year, my golf has got so bad in every area imaginable, I’m playing worst than I ever was 6 months ago, I’ve lost complete confidence in my golf game, I can’t chip, putt, drive or hit an iron straight.
I quickly went from comfortably shooting low 80s, to now high 90s and even the odd occasion of 100+. I have no idea where this has come from, why I’m struggling so bad, but I very nearly QUIT GOLF!
It’s been extremely hard to record content as quite frankly the level of golf has been embarrassing, so I decided to stop playing golf, and spend the near future practicing on the range and recording my training (vlog) style.

Hi I’m Luke Hickson, welcome to my channel Hicks Golf Vlogs. I played golf in October 2021 and since then have been hooked to the game.
In my first 12 months of playing golf, I took my Handicap from 30 to 13 and started making Vlogs documenting my journey on YouTube and social media in October 2022.
In my journey from 30 to 13, I had to develop many aspects of my game, have plenty of visits to a PGA Pro for lessons and study all angles of golf.
On my channel you will find a wide range of topics, from entertaining golf content such as trips & courses I visit, challenges with friends & much more.
Plus I will also bring out other videos with the tips & tricks I’ve learnt along the way that may help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons consistently , master your short game and hole more putts.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

Excellent idea 💡
Love the channel. Enjoying your journey. I've been golfing (seriously) ⛳️ for 35 years. Some good 👍 most rubbish 🗑 but love golf ⛳️ too much to give it up.
All the best 👍
Welcome to real golf Luke. I’ve started rounds well before and then forgotten how to hit a ball half way round. If it was dead easy we wouldn’t bother doing it ! Enjoy the journey back to form.
Hi Luke, I bloody hope you haven't quit golf. I just subscribed today after watching a few of your videos. Keep going, nobody can be at their best 100% of the time!
A lot of golfers don't play winter golf and I can understand why, no distance, club digs into the ground. When your going through this difficult time, don't look at tips on utube, get 2 lessons from your pro and you be back on track.
Personally I think you get a few lessons and let the pro identify your weaknesses and give you some focused practice rather then trying to figure out yourself! Looking forward to watching your journey either way 👍
One thing to take a look at when you were watching your slowmo, you can see your head sways back, keeping your head in about the same spot, specially with irons strikes is huge.
Whenever I've lost my swing for a few weeks, it's eventually come back better than it was before. The struggle is frustrating but knowing I'll find it again eventually keeps me motivated
Hey Luke get that shaft lean at address as you return to your start position really well – pre set it 👍🏼
I feel this.
Last couple weeks I haven’t been myself on the course. I’ve seen a real improvement with my game recently but also a lot more holes have opened up as well.
Unless I’m 100% before I swing the ball the round or range sesh with be completely tops, shanks, hooks and slices.
Has really played on me outside of the game itself. So now I’m making sure I eat right so I’m physically ready as well as confident/ together while over the ball. I really believe this will help my game more then any lessons will.
Great to read the war stories on here. I played on the weekend and literally forgot how to use my arms. Practice swings felt great but ball address was my worst nightmare.
3 days later after some posture self-analysis, I was soothing too low in the stance and the totally lost in the formation of the box trail arm. Good golf and bad golf is only 2mm apart.
How are you finding the new clubs? Want to see some DHY content
If l may add. More shaft lean on setup. But then it looks like you do not have enough shoulder turn in back swing which causes you hips not to turn enough on back swing as well and it will cause a slight over the top down swing and it pulls rest of body out of position.
Watch the last video from meandmygolf assisting the lady on her driving.
Lessons mate. You're just killing time you could be improving trying to figure it out on your own.
Great content love you videos. You can use foot spary instead of those stickers. Good luck
Keep going please – It'll 'come good'.
Holy shit, the topic of targeting and the feeling of what would be correct diverge gigantically. I know that just as well.
Don't give up this channel mate. I watch tonnes of channels and this is up there with the best of them. Persevere.
