I played 9 holes today. A problem I was having is I didn't have success with a swing for long. I started out with my normal swing. That was working at first but then I started doing bad with it. I went to another swing and it also seemed to work at first. This kept going on for the whole 9 holes. I then went to the driving range and the same thing happened. I was wondering why I could only have a little success with a swing. I just want a swing that last the whole round.

Your messing with your own mind. You are trying different swings so the mind starts trying to induce a prelearned movement but you change it up and go a different plane or release which makes it difficult to repeat on a consistent basis. Think about it. Tiger makes a swing change and it takes him around two years to get it close to where he wants it. You need to find what fits comfortably with your body movement and physique and stick with it trying to hone small changes preferably working on maybe one specific change at a time until you get it consistent.

That's just the thing. I'm not that comfortable with a certain swing. I just can't seem to find a swing that I like.

You sound like the way I was for over 20 years, although I did not change my swing as often as you do.

I tried a lot of instruction books, videos, lessons, and experimenting. I finally found some instruction that worked well for me in a book called "The Golf Swing And It's Master Key Explained" by Noel Thomas. However, I do not know if this instruction will work for you.

One thing this book taught me is the importance of having a swing reminder list. It provides a reminder list in the back, but if you use some other instruction, or a swing you have developed on your own, then make your own reminder list of things you must remember to make your swing work.

I take my swing reminder list out and read it before each practice session, and before each round, and any other time if I feel my swing is not quite right.

Perhaps it would help you to go see a pro for a group of lessons to help you establish something that can work and give you the fundementals to be consistent. Remember the golf swing is not a natural movement for the body but it can be trained to be natural. You might pick the swing style that seems to give you the best results overall and just try to perfect it by trying to feel or see(by video) what changes when it starts to go south on you. It could be something such as timing which throws the swing off and if so you just need to figure out a way of trying to keep the same tempo.
