Slight musing, but I think it was Bob Rotella that said your hot streak was your actual true potential.
I get to play once a month, so always slightly frustrated due to short game rust and I've had a low-mid teens handicap for the last 10 years. Slight humble brag but I ask the question as recently I played an evening round where i had 10 holes in a row at level par (8 pars, birdie and bogey with +5 for the 18) and then despite my two comp scores this year being 91 & 92 my eclectic score is already 76. I finished on Friday holing a 5ft putt for Eagle.
So, am I deluding myself that I'm better than my handicap of the last 10 years (i'm still hoping to be a bandit)? What expectations do you have for your own game based on the shots you know you can hit?
