I had a really good time. Turned out my opponent was someone that I've been paired with before and just played with, good guy so we had fun with it. I won the first hole and from there we were back and forth, but I was never behind. I was either 1 up or AS until the 8th and I went 2 up. I was 3 up with 4 to play. He birdied 15, we halved 16, and I won 17 to close it out. He hit some bad shots and I really think is confidence took a hit and I knew if I could just keep the ship steady I should be able to close it out.
As far as perspective goes... it's a LOT different standing over a ball and know that it really counts. Especially pressure putts and important tee shots. I honestly think that helped my game a lot though, because I played really well today. I made myself focus on every shot and really "grinded". I never got lazy with a single shot, even backed off a tee shot cause I didn't feel "right" standing over the ball. Sure I hit a few bad shots, put I was able to put them behind me and focus on the task at hand. A lot of the input I got on my "anger management" thread helped a lot. All in all I had a blast, win or lose.
