发帖数: 1656 | 1 I told a friend that I broke 100 a week ago so he wanted to see how much
progress I made since I played last time with him. We went to another course
, which we played before, and I shot 110. Started bad and never recovered.
Completely forgot how to swing. No par for whole round. Lots of +3s.
Then we played a few additional holes since it was already late in the
afternoon and the front nine was available. All pressure gone, my form
returned and I got bogey-bogey-par-double-bogey (or close, I did not really
record) for 5 holes.
I guess the pros can get -10 for a round when no one is watching since they
get -3 when lots are watching. |

situation from time to time before consistently shooting good. These days I
have variety problems on any Par 3 holes which usually I am comfortable with
it, now half of my over Par came from four PAR3 holes. sigh.. |

发帖数: 1656 | 3 last time I played the same course, almost half year ago, I had 105. So this
time it is 5 strokes worse.
I've made serious attempt to improve so I was really expecting something
better. A 102/103 might make me feel ok but not 110.
The only highlight of my whole day was on a (downslope) 233 yard par 3 I was
able to drive to green. Even though I 3 putted, I almost birdied it. The
aeration holes on green handed me the extra 2 strokes.

发帖数: 4031 | 4 It is not hard for you to break 100 once or twice. What is hard is to break
100 all the time and never score higher than 100 again. LOL.I am expecting

发帖数: 1656 | 5 I feel I have stuck between 100-110 for a long time. Recently I got
confident at breaking 100 because of two things:
1. A somewhat reliable drive around 200 yards
2. A somewhat dependable 2-putt closing
My drive was not there yesterday for the first 12 holes or so and the
aeration holes made 2 putts really difficult.
But, the mental pressure to prove myself to an old buddy might have played a
bigger role LOL.

100 consistently.

发帖数: 398 | 7 Usually, GC will give deep discount for aeration, here is 60% off. don't
count the putts, it is meaningless, just use the chance to play driver and
iron on real course.
Right, whenever have some thoughts on your mind, it will definitely make
your swing out of shape. |

not quite healed.

发帖数: 4031 | 11 Mental golf issues happen to me at times as well. Whenever I try hard to
prove myself to someone, most likely I will score worse than usual. A good
thing I have learned is to adjust myself to save my game if I start having a
poor ball striking. Before the Saturday, I started copying Bubba’s hip
opening drill and hoped I could gain a few yards from my driving. I did gain
a few yards driving on certain drives on the Saturday’s game, but also
drove or sliced the ball to right five times, losing the distances and
causing trouble for next. I saved two of the five holes with my second shots, and
two with my third ones, and one par 5 with my third and fourth ones, ending up with one
par (GIR) and four bogies.
