Prolonged slump
I would be curious to hear if any of you have either worked through a prolonged slump or helped someone with the same. I am in the midst of just that - a slump in iron play that has spanned multiple seasons. Woods and short game are fine, and actually improving in large part to TGM and this website. Irons are, in a word, terrible.

I posted in "The Mental Approach" because this slump has created constant negative and fearful thoughts over all iron shots, but especially those where penalty strokes are facing me (eg water, OB, etc). Any techniques that you may have used yourselves (or in your teaching) to deal with this would be greatly appreciated.

A related question, a common response from others trying to help is "stop thinking, just play". If only they knew I was into TGM and this web site! What are this site's members opinions on that comment. Can TGM set up paralysis by over-analysis?

Thanks
