Hey all, I am new to this site, been trolling for a few days until they allowed me to start a thread. Lots of great threads to read and great to see such a mix of playing ability. I am seeking some tips on coming back to the game from a long lay off. What have some of you done to get your game back? When I say long lay off, I mean seriously long.

Thanks again for all the help. I was able to get out on Saturday for a soggy few holes, just getting some swings in, not even keeping score. It was a lot of fun though, haven't been this excited to play in years! Last year, I did some upgrading of the clubs. I had a 7.5 degree Big Bertha, that was simply unhittable.

You are very smart to want to practice short game more than anything else. I came back after a long layoff and found that my swing was still 'acceptable' but my short game was awful. To maximize short game practice efficiency I do a little game from Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible.

It sounds like you are my long lost twin. My story is virtually identical to yours. I was a low single digit in HS, then for about 15 years played about 3 rounds a year. I would go out and expect to shoot par, which of course never happened, and I would get upset and not play again for months.
