Re: Almost got it

Gosh was it really the end of Jan that I did the original post.

Anyway I've been meaning to ask.

What is your experience of Personal Best Score v Average Score?

Until yesterday I'd come close but not close enough to that PB time and time again; its strange how expectations change, consecutive scores of 92, 93, 90, 91 would have had me delighted a year ago; now I'm disappointed because I know I can post lower - I also had a nightmare 100 but I'll ask Ian H about that in the pyschology forum.

So how long did it take everyone else - high caps or almost scratches - for their new PB to become more or less their norm? If it ever did

Yesterday was a bit of a breakthrough however, two 89s, not great by some some standards but back into the eighties at last AND more importantly with an awful 38 & 36 putts each round. For my PB (87) I posted:

EDITED: to say that "non par" should read "non Par 3", which makes more sense I hope.
I know that when I chip and pitch well I putt well so, ignoring the 27 putt round as exceptional I must have "left" 6 strokes out there yesterday which, in a perverse way is quite encouraging.
