A break is no bad thing. I often take a year out of yacht racing every 8 or nine years, as the presure to do better, well more to the point retain certain trophies, just gets to much, especially as I'm the one that has to make all the decisions on the boat! I'm currently moving that one year break into two, but I have the golf now.
I think that I'm in the same 'mold' as you regarding scores, stats and expectations. I wish I could just go out and bash the ball around, but I always want to do better. It's not something that's easy to change, it's just who we are. Perhaps consider changing the expectations to each shot rather than the whole round. I know that with some shots (driving) anything half decent (ie I can find the ball!) is good. But I normally do far better with a wedge in my hand, and therefore have higher expectations with that club in my mitts.
I'm out for the first time in 5 or 6 weeks this weekend, my shoulder is crooked from the boatshow, and are not expecting anything to good. But I will still be using my SS2 scorecard and logging everything. I hate to have a decent hole, or round, and not know how I acheived it.
Perhaps using the winter to play without recording your scores would help. At least then you can free your mind about protecting your h'cap or scorecard. Just don't try buying your way out of this situation. Your clubs have worked for you before, they will again.
Good luck.
