Re: Broke my PB, but not 80....
Yes Scraggs, I think that may well be helping you.
In match play we are playing for the hole and tend to blank out the rest of the course, this does assist with keeping focused on the NOW and not what has or may happen.
I have found recently that getting the right mental approach makes such a real difference. Without going on too much things like conserving mental energy, getting the game in context, thinking of possible shots instead of can do can't do ones.

Hey Brian, you mentioned the mental/course management side of things in our game and it caused me to wonder if the fact that I have played so many Match Play rounds in the last couple of months has been a contributing factor in my improved results.
Certainly when playing matches I do forget all about the score and focus solely on what I need to do to either win or halve the hole we are playing.
I think this is probably borne out somewhat by the fact that my average club comp score over the last two months is 90 and my average match play score over the 5 rounds I've played in the same time is 83.
Interesting...
Cheers
