My Round

Andrea came out on the course with me which was a lot of fun. I know during the round it didn’t seem like I was having much fun, but I really enjoyed having her ride around with me. I’ve spent so much time this year thinking about golf, practicing golf, playing golf, that I really wanted her to see me hit some great shots and play good golf.

It didn’t go well. Maybe I put too much pressure on myself to play well because Andrea was out there or because I had just shot the greatest round of my life two days earlier. I was tense and I let myself get frustrated early and easily. My driver wasn’t working and my irons weren’t either. I went from having complete confidence in my driver and a confidence that I could hit more greens with my irons to not believing I could hit anything. But Andrea turned me back to being positive and the back nine was better. It doesn’t look better on the card, it it was.

What I need to focus on: stay positive. Im not making money playing golf so getting as frustrated as I got isn’t useful. Slow down! Stay grounded and make a full turn touching shoulder to chin before starting the downswing, and keep your hands light on the club. The swing is smooth and fluid not tight and rigid.
