Are you just chunking out a divot when you drive the ball or is it actually stopping you from following through with the shot completely so you have to take extra strokes or just messing your shot up?
And, trust me, there is no such thing as a childish mistake in golf. Some would argue (spouses in particular) that golf in itself is a childish mistake
Maybe I can give some advice if you can provide a little more detail. I think it's a pretty common thing, especially if you haven't played for a long time to have trouble with that. I know I used to sometimes swing and miss the ball and tee completely. Strike one, strike two, strike three and I was out
