Went out the other Friday to get 18 holes in before leaving on
vacation(which has no golf involved), and it started out feeling OK. I
was plodding along shooting bogies consistently until the 7th par 3.
Double bogey, BUT, followed by 2 pars to finish the front. Talk about
feeling good now. So much for a good feeling, I began the back nine
which is two par 3s with a double and triple. Tried to put those holes
behind me and went back to bogey golf until the 15th which I found
another double bogey. Ahh, but the last three holes gave me 3 straight
pars. I was starting to think that my game had stalled out around the
100 mark. My rounds would not be going all that bad but I just could
not avoid a big number or two during each round. Shooting this 90 has
given me new hope (never really lost hope) that I will break 90 this
season and maybe start doing it on a somewhat consistant basis. Golf is
a lot more fun when the numbers start getting lower.
Congrats! Scores get into our minds so much that it makes the game tougher than it should be. When I feel that I've stalled, many times I don't even pick up a score card for the round. I just play to concentrate on the moment. When I finally do keep score...most of the time I get pleasantly surprised!
