Is the glass half empty, half full, or just the wrong size in the first place?

In the old days of drinking always half full until closing time. Now the tea mug is normally half empty until HID deems to put the kettle on

That depends Bob.
Earlier this year I shot 78 with a treble on 15 thanks to to 4 fat shots in a row form the middle of the fairway, 3 of them were pitches or chips. I very rarely hit fat shots, especially chips. I don't remember hitting a fat shot before that this year and I don't remember hitting one since. So am I going to beat myself up about hitting them during that round? Of course I'm not. I'm gonna forget about them, sh!t happens.
However, If I hit a lot of hooked drives as I was a few weeks ago then I'm gonna remember the shape of the shot and speak to my pro about it as it's killing my game and I want to understand why it happens and I'm gonna work on stopping doing it.
My point to Homer was that he played a good round of golf and still got a cut despite hitting a bad shot or two down 18. Should he focus on those 2 bad shots or the 50 odd good ones? You have to take the positives, if you focus on the negatives you'll be standing over the ball thinking about not hitting the bad shot and that's not a state of mind you want to be in over a golf ball.

So in the space of about a month you've gone from "losing your Mojo" and wanting to quit the game for a while, to scoring 37 points with a blob, get a handicap cut and are now moaning about hitting 3 duff shots and trying to analyze it?
You play off 12. You are going to hit duff shots. Your handicap would suggest about 12.
The "point" I was trying to make was that even when you're winning you're losing
Vic Meldrew over and out.
