Re: A lesson in perseverance

I Liked the idea of having the score recorded but not knowing what it is. To qualify for a handicap in Holland you have to return 1 card a year with more than 36 stapleford points on it. I am nearly there with cards of 34 and 35. Yes I could lie as my friend marks my cards and give myself a couple of shots and collect that all important 36 but I would only be lying to myself.

Anyway back to the point. I played on Sunday full of hope but after triple bogies on the first 3 holes I knew today was not my day. So I told my partner that I would not be recording my score. Boy did I have so much fun the rest of the day. I had a 10 foot chip in to the hole. I pared 2 holes and finished on the 18th buy landing on the green in 2 and 2 putting.

Why did my game improve? Got to be the lack of pressure. So for the next few weeks no scoring just enjoying then maybe score the last 9 or alternate holes to work on the pressure. Will let you all know how it goes. Oh and the RH drill works a dream.
