Saturday was hard work - I ended up shooting 120 at Turangi. Mine was the only handicap that went out by 6 in the annual company golf tournament and I was wondering whether this might be my last tournament.
Sunday couldn't get any worse... or could it?
I was 4 over on the first, 2 over on the second, 2 over on the third, 3 over on the fourth, 3 over on the fifth, 1 over, 3 over, then something remarkable happened...
I stopped and thought to myself, I have 2 choices:
1. Carry on doing what I was doing
2. Change what I was doing
I decided to change and simply slowed down my swing, took an extra club and didn't try & smack the snot out of every shot.
Guess what happened?
Bogey
Par
Bogey
Par
Birdie
3 over - That was the closest to the pin hole & I tried too hard!
Par
Bogey
3 over - Tried to smack it too hard again!
2 over - Thought I could make up the shots I dropped on the last hole
Birdie - Reminded myself to slow down
3 over - Tried to smash a long par 3!
Now I would love to become more consistent & after shooting 2 birdies in 1 round, know that I have the ability to play great golf!
