Welcome to golf. It's like that. Still nothing to do now but try again next time out and go for another PB. Another day another birdie

GiBBo, forget this one, and you'll be back to shooting mid/low 90's. last week I played 4 times, 36.37.39 and 45 points, tuesday strugglesd to make 31pts.

Gibbo don't worry about it fella. Recently I've realised that I need to stop 'hitting' the golf ball. When I've played my best I've stroked it around the course swinging at about 70%. Still hit it as far but with much more control. Still haven't played a full 18 holes with that mindset, when I do I'll shoot crazy low for my h'cap. I got into a cycle of just trying too hard in a medal because I'd played well in bounce games. It's easier said than done but you need to try to relax and reduce your expectations. My goal when I played in my recent stableford was to score 37pts anything else was a bonus. It helped me stay focused and not panic after my nightmare start. However on the 15th tee I realised I was doing well and hit a shocking tee shot. Scrambled a double but made the same mistake on the 16th and 18th tees.

You know what you are capable of, just try and come up with a single swing thought that helps you swing smooth. Good luck with it all, I'm sure a cut is just round the corner

my biggest advice would be just enjoy your golf. its amazes me how when i focus, i tighten up and good scores disappear, stay lose, stay happy and enjoy it, and all of a sudden the 90's disappear, and your in the early 80's sniffing at high 70's.

It still won't save you from the cutting committee.....

Keep at it Gibbo. The consistency will come, give it time.
