I played 9 holes on a par 72 course today and shot a 38 Eek. That's a very low score for me. I have no idea how I got it, but I did Big Grin

Wooooooo

Thanks! I should be golfing like this all the time, I started golfing when I was 10. Unfortunatly, I stopped at about 14(20 years old now), but really started playing again about 2 summers ago.

Damn, I wish I would have never stopped!

You have PLENTY of time!!

I've shot some excellent 9 holes in my day, but unfortunately, they were spread out over 5 rounds of golf over a 3 week period.

JMS2788,

I will tell you exactly how you got it. You went out there and played. You didn't overanalyze anything and you just let your natural ability play the game.

I play in a league and I took some time off at the beginning because I was playing the worst I have in a long time. I had a million things on my mind.

After a month off I went back and my wife said just go out there and have fun. Who cares if you play good or bad. I brought a few cigars had a few beers and it was wonderful.

It was actually the same course that made me want to quit the league over a month prior. 1st round I shot like a 110. I told you it was bad. I am a 24 handicap. This next time out I shot an 89.

If there was any practicing prior to the round, warming up. I may have made a few putts. This round also had like 2 ob penalties and 2 water penalties. It was all on 2 holes as well.

Its amazing how the mind when its stressed or relaxed can pay dividends on the game. I used to caddy and it seemed the more relaxed the people were the better they played.

One of my buddies is a scratch golfer and his nickname is "Dumba**). Ironically he is a slower thinking person (not dumb) and he is a great golfer. I tend to think it is his skill as well as the fact his mind chills out and doesn't overanalyze all the crap of the game and life.

I have not mentioned that I am an analyst. Therefore I overcomplicate many decisions because I analyze them to death.

Congrats on the great score.

Matt
