  • Throwing away a possible PB......

    Well, I've done it again....

    Ruined a great round by thinking about it too much...

    Standing on the 13th tee last Saturday, 3 over the card thru 12 holes (thanks to a 3 putt and a ball hit OOB) having hit 7 of 9 fairways and 9 Greens in reg to that point.

    Was striking the ball solidly.

    One of my playing partners then commented that I was playing as well as he had seen me play in my 3 years at the Club.

    From there, I would finish the round bogey, double, double, par, bogey, triple...

    The consolation prize I guess is that my net 73 for the day was good enough to win the day comp, but, that round could have, no, should have been so much better.

    I just couldn't stop thinking about the score after it had been pointed out to me...

    Well, at least I'm looking forward to next week now...

    Cheers

    First of all mate just read and re-read the above; you're clearly in the form of your life. Enjoy it.

    Then digest the finish to your round, note the lesson and move on - that PB is coming and coming big.

      Definitely, be happy ,know where and why your errors occurred ,(me thinks it was analysis paralysis) and move on happily and unfettered.

      PS Read Bob Rotellas' book called "Golf is Not a Game of Perfect" best book by far on the psychology of golf.

        The problem is with your friend and not you - tell them never to comment on how well you are playing - it completely ruins my game too!
