As far as I know from my own experience with Goldens, this is the time of the year when they shed the undercoat and start growing the winter coat. Carina is also loosing her fur in clumps She had a bath on Saturday and I brush her every day. I doesn't make any difference, I could knit a sweater with all the hair I collect daily. If you are too worried you could call the vet, but it seems that you'll have to live with it for another month or so. Isn't it worth it though?
