Started the day today feeling very optimistic,
I had a lesson on Monday, spent 1/2 hour a day practising my putting. Today arrived 45 minutes before tee time, for a loosen up and practise. Off the first tee, right down the middle not miles but nice and straight. Bogeyed 1st, Par'd 2nd, par'd 3rd, Par'd 4th, this went on till 9th, scored 24 on front.
Tee'd off for 10th, right down the middle, good distance, Duffed a pitch, double bogey, double bogey 11th, bogey 12th, bogey 13th, 4 over 14th, double bogey 15th, bogey 16th, bogey 17th, bogey 18th.
Was gutted to only finish with 37 points, blobbed 3 holes. I feel the swing was there, but the focus went after 8th hole, does anyone else start to flag midway, and is there anything I can do to lessen the chance of this happening. I take plenty to eat and drink so I know its not that, I do get distracted easily by playing partners, and they don't always understand that I want complete silence for the 15 seconds it take me to line up and hit my shot.
Tips welcome, but I must say I was really pleased I played so well for the front 9, I can see my hc coming down next year
