Re: tons of practise and still a bad round!
Hi Slats,
Not read everyones answers as it tends to change my thoughts.
Two thing spring to mind, we all have day were nothing seems fair bad lies, missing fairways behind little shrubs etc etc etc oh and missing every little putt.
STILL: we should still play resonably well, a few tour pros shot 80s every week on tour but still hit the ball well, key word is consistancy.
It appears to me like you are practicing what you are already good at not what you dislike, practice engrains confidence, if you chip everyday for a week with a 60 degree and first time out have a chip over a bunker, you can hardly contain you excitement.......getting my drift????????
Secondly just a little subconcious doubt, if you are checking for nerves on the first tee you already have them, bear in mind most people do, some show some don't, I played county darts for years, some hands shake some don't.
The only way around nerves is confidence in your own ability and a good pre-shot routine, if your on for a good score then remind yourself your only there because your playing well.
Just accept what the course gives you and try to keep an even thought patten to the end, again pre-shot helps, be methodical.
Don't panic you shoot a good one next time.
