So, this goes some way towards explaining why I seem to have better results when playing in relaxed surrounds. IE with close mates. As opposed to playing in a competition 4 ball with 3 guys I have never met before...

Self 1 is occupied talking blokey stuff (beer, sex, footy & cricket) with the mates and leaves Self 2 to get the golf game done...

I like it...

Now, if only Self 2 could chip and putt...
