Could someone please tell me how I go about not being so hard on myself all the time??
Played in a Society outing at Kings Acre today. 26 of us went out and I finished 5th, with a 91 nett 72, in cold, damp and very windy conditions. I have qualified for the Club Plate Championship (top 8 qualifying players with handicaps of 13 and above) for the first time in four attempts. I won the longest drive on the 7th hole for players with handicaps of 13 and above. I won a smart Mizuno Towel, a bag of pink castle tees, a Sharpie pen and a sleeve of Titleist Pro V's. I should be over the moon.
But......................
I was standing on the 17th tee having only had 76 blows up till then. I somehow managed to dispatch my drive into the cabbage and struggled to a six. OK, not the end of the world. Standing on the 18th tee, water left and OB right. Smacked my drive OB. Three off the tee and proceeded to hit that OB too!!! Carded a nine on 18 and it's somehow all I've managed to think about since.
I really need help to focus on the positives of my game. I putted like a demon today and after an unsteady start of 5, 6, 8, I then went 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 5 for a front 9 of 43 and was going great until the 17th.
Anyone out there able to point me in the right direction/slap some sense into me????
