Up_Point_1
Head Pro
Afternoon all.
Had my first qualifier medal of the year on Good Friday and all I can say is I had an absolute mare of a day. In no particular order I had the shanks, the fats, the thins, I couldn’t putt to save my life, the Driver was all over the shop. You name it, I had it.
I progressively got angrier and angrier with myself as the round went on and by the 15th tee the clubs were going on ‘e-bay’ and I was taking up lawn bowls. It was at this point (from a distance I may add) that my playing partner says to me ‘look on the bright side mate, however badly you’re playing there’s a million people out there who’d give their right arm to be out here doing what you’re doing, children in hospital wards etc etc’. I thought to myself ‘he’s absolutely right. Why on earth am I getting so wound up over something that really in the whole scheme of things isn’t all that significant and is supposed to be enjoyable. I'm not a pro, my livelihood doesn't depend on playing well' So I don’t play to my handicap one week, so what. What’s the worst that would come out of my day ?? The handicap goes up 0.1, not really a big deal.
With my new found outlook on the game I finished Par, Par, Par, Par.
Just thought I’d share that with you all.
Get out there and give it your all. If you play well then great, if not it’s really not the end of the world. There’s always next week.
Most of all enjoy your golf ;-)
