A)  Ignore it altogether.  B)  Quit playing for a while.  C)  Analyze it.  D)  Practice more.  E)  Pactice less, or not at all.  F)  Work on only the short game.  G)  See a golf instructor.

Slumps can sometimes be very tough to break, however, there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Don’t hang up your clubs just because you are going through one of these periods, there nothing new in golf.
