How do you motivate yourself through the bad patches -

Ok after reading another thread on here today it seems quite apparent that a lot of us go through slumps, where we could and in some cases should walk off the course. Lots of us have a pattern where our game peaks and gives us inspiration to play/practice more, in effort to improve or achieve our goals, yet in only a short period we are brought back to earth with a bang and we suck again!

I'm at the lowest point at the moment, and my only inspiration to play is that our club has recently drafted in some new eye candy for behind the bar which is pretty pleasing on the eye on a Sunday morning. Go back 6 months, i was at the range on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays and desperate to play at least once a weekend, sometimes twice, yet now once a fortnight seems a mission and i'm finding it hard to be bothered at that.

My question is we obviously all hit these lows, but how do we recover from them, to regain the form we had shown in previous rounds, and get the enjoyment that we know we can achieve from striking the ball well etc.

As it is im sitting here at work, licking my cuts from a 7 & 6 Whooping handed to me by a 20 h/c player Saturday who in he's own words had one of he's off days. now i expect people to have good and bad days, but i've seen this guy play on regular occasions and to lose to him 7&6 when he was playing the way he was has really gave me a kick in the man jewels, I have no issue in losing to anyone who is playing well, but when i witnessed him play some of the worst golf he has ever played in my company, it made me really think " how bad must my current game be ?"

so come on guys... how do you recover from them slumps?
