eat a snack about hole 6, eat another at the turn, eat another at hole 14 or 15. drink an energy drink after the turn. its fatigue. ur blood sugar gets low. loss of fluids. any of these are a good reason. anything that takes 4 to 5 hours of physical activity. you need to worry about fluid replacement.

Lack of stamina , you should spend some time in the gym.

I had similar experience some years ago. I believe I had 2 reasons for your problem.

(1) expectation
(2) Fatigue

I used to start off hitting excellent drives on my 1st 2-3 holes, but i put pressure on myself to hit it longer on subsequent holes. As it do that, I tend to tense up resulting in losing my tempo or working my right arms to navigate my downswing. I have learnt to trust my swings now and don’t put pressure on myself to drive further than my flight mates.

To reduce fatigue, I have adopted this game routine that might work for you too. After completing my 6th hole, I will eat a banana while heading to the 7th tee. I will eat my sandwich on the 10th tee and finally another banana by the 15th. I am not sure if its a proper diet but it really helped me to maintain the energy required for the complete round. Thanks to my wife, she packed it during a game while we were on a golf holiday and I found it extremely beneficial.

Take yourself a protein bar with you on your round and eat some of it about every 6 holes. It doesn’t have too much substance as to fill you up too much and it will help sustain your energy through your round. It sounds like your swing is getting lazy.

Don’t underestimate the probability that it is mostly mental as well. Near the end of the round it gets more difficult to shrug off bad golf shots and you already have in your mind that your "landslide" is due to start any moment so you must put all that behind you. Stay away from eating food too high in sugar before your round as you will eventually "come down" off of your sugar rush.

Either take a series of lessons or purchase a subscription to one of the golf publications and try out the tips provided in the magazine. To give you real perspective, professional golfers have golf instructors so other than the lessons being pricey depending on who is giving the instruction, why not take lessons?

Most likely, either you run out of energy, or you start thinking about it. During a round, I make two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut into 8 squares. Every other hole i have one square. This helps keep your blood sugar and energy balanced and up. Also, try to keep only one or two swing thoughts in your head, or ideally none in your head. the more you think about your swing, the tighter and more technical it will get. You want to stay loose and let that natural swing dominate. The driving range is the place to work on mechanics, but on the course it's all feel!

Order Wally Armstrong's Gator golf DVDs on-line maybe. Very good for beginners.

Yours is a common problem. As the body begins to tire, maintaining discipline and mechanics break down. Get to the driving range on a regular basis and develop muscle memory. Soon you will be able to hit a drive on the 18th hole as well as you did on the 1st.
