Tomorrow is the first round I'll be playing after I let other players comments get inside my head on my last round

I've been at the range practicing like crazy, had a lesson, got an improved swing, I'm hitting the ball with confidence, striking it well and consistently, slicing is now few and far inbetween, I've got no aches or pains, the weather is going to be warm and sunny tomorrow, I've even got a new pair of golf pants and nice loud golf shirt. I know my good holes and I know the holes which hate me, on the goods ones I'm being aggressive or the haters it's all going to be nicely managed and safe.

I'm going out onto the first tee and I'm going to rip it straight down the middle, I'm going to play my first wedge shot to with 4 feet of the pin and I'm gonna birdie the first hole.

I know within myself I can do that and that's the mentatlity I'm going out with, I'm going to play the round my way, at my pace, I know I'm going to bogey a few holes, but tomorrows round is going to be a break 90, my target being 85 or less.

I'm really looking forward to 11:50hrs tomorrow.

It's going to be a belter.

Cheers
Dave
 
dont forget to have a plan b!!

if a tee shot doesnt go to plan then be in a position to take it on the chin.

I always choose not to play driver on the 1st but end up doing so and cocking it up, tomorrow I am taking 3 hybrid off the tee and sticking to it... cos I am leaving my driver at home :)

good luck and hope you have a cracking round!
 
The one club I'm leaving behind is the cheap Dunlop 60 degree lob wedge I bought, which has caused me more pain then any other club.

I've vowed that when I win the lottery I'm going to get it reforged into a putter :D
 
hehe then it would be a crap putter though :)

I often ditch my 60 deg but having watched Phil's short game video the hinge and hold has worked wonders for me with it

no comp this weekend so a chilled round tomoz so gonna work on a few things and try to swing easy.

Good luck. :)

Just don't get too far ahead of yourself. Relax a little, take it easy, DON'T expect to birdie the first hole and you'll do fine.
 
I'm not going out to put pressure on myself, been there done that and after my playing partners got inside my head on my last round, it's not going to make any difference what is said, good natured banter or otherwise.

As I wrote above, I going to play within myself, my game, my way, no pressure, just out for a nice walk in the sunshine relaxing.
