The end of this summer I had three weeks of some of the worst golf I've played in years after some of the best I've ever played. Then at the very end I got back to playing good again. It was very disturbing while it was going on and it seemed in the past a bad shot would not be a big deal, I'd just go on but during that stretch a bad shot would just infuriate me and my game would just unravel.
Sitting back and thinking about it all I figured it out. I WAS QUITTING SMOKING DURING THE BAD STRETCH. When I hit a bad shot I didn't have the nicotine to calm me down. After I got over it the bad shots did not bother me as much and I went back to doing well.
It feels so much better when you understand WHY something like that happens. I'm now looking forward to a smoke free year of golfing in six months.
