I just got back from my round of golf with my Thursday League. I posted a final score this evening of 42 (+7 for the round)!! The round included an 8 on the 3rd hole of the course (par 4), so I played 3 over for the rest. I cannot begin to tell you how excited I was about that.
This was week 9 in the league. I had shot 51, 52 or 53 for the first 6 weeks. After taking a lesson before week 7, I shot 49 and 47. Tonight I threw up a 42, which included an 15 ft eagle putt on the first par 5 (I missed it but birdied anyway).
I owe alot of it to this board. I have spent the last couple of weeks reading Rotella and listening to many of the "mental game" suggestions on this board, and it worked great tonight.
After the 8 on the 3rd hole, I blew my tee shot on 4 (a par 3). Instead of getting upset, I focused on the 2nd shot and ended up with a bogey for the hole. I followed that up with par-bogey-birdie-par-bogey. Very solid round.
I hope I can do it again next time out. But if not, I won't forget this round of 9 holes. Thanks again to all on this board. The advice you offer is helpful and most appreciated...
