I wish I could help, but I'm having a similar battle.  I categorize my golf as schizophrenic.  I'm self-taught, and at my age I expect distance loss, but the erratic nature of my game varying round to round and swing to swing is frustrating.  The last couple years I'd have rounds in the high 70's /low 80's, and rounds approaching 100.  For years I hit a consistent high draw off the tee.  There are days that still happens , but more rarely.  On the bad days now I spray some high and right, top some, and occasionally pull out the duck hook.  My approach shots are spot on, straight and landing soft ... except when they're not.  I have days when my chipping is outstanding, getting the ball in makeable distance for an up and down ... and other days where the word "fat" is too often the case.  The only consistent part of the game is putting,  with more 1 putt than 3 putt holes.

I was a 9, now I'm a 12 and trending higher almost every time I record a round.  Lessons might have to be the way.  Golf-Tec is expensive, but I might have to indulge.  Some of it may be due to trying to maintain ball/swing speed.  Some of it may be loss of core strength and flexibility.  Some is just not playing as often as I'd like.

Good luck, maybe both of us can work this out.
