Before I begin, let me say I'm not complaining about my scores recently. Lest I upset the Golfing Gods, or anybody striving to shoot in the low 40's.
But I seem to hit a plateau, I'm tearing up the low 40's, 41, 42's, 43's. But I can't seem to break through and shoot a 40 or heaven forbid, below it. I can string together several pars, maybe even make a birdie. But every single round, I have at least one blow up hole. I don't mind a bogey or 2, even a couple of doubles I can live with. But these damn triples, and that snowman yesterday, are really irking me. Today I honestly thought I was playing badly, and wasn't looking at my score at all. And still had one hole where the wheels fell completely off. A fairly short par 4 that I have pared a thousand times, and managed to make a ugly triple. And had to sink a 25ft. putt to avoid quad.
The shortened driver is behaving nicely, other than one yanked drive that hit the fence and kicked back in thank goodness. But how do you avoid the brain farts? Line up for a semi easy approach shot, and raise up and top it. Or hang back on your back foot instead of shifting your weight, and digging a divot so deep you can hear the Chinese complaining about it. If I didn't know how to play this game, it would bother me. But every time I hit a bad shot, I know exactly what I did wrong. If you know what you did wrong, why can't we avoid doing it in the 1st place?
Ok, rant over, I now return you back to your regularly scheduled talk of who ho'ed what.
