Good luck, buddy.

I feel like prefacing all my comments at the moment with "I'm a 26, I know jack", and I honestly feel that's true, but I also get a slightly funny twitch at the phrase "No expectations", because whilst I totally see that I must not go in to a round of golf thinking the course, in some bizarre way, owes me a score of X (and I think I have done this), I also think if I rejected my 'expectations', I might be in danger of also rejecting;

hopes
aspirations
targets
self-belief
self-discipline
pre-shot routine
...and others

That's me - not to say you would be the same. Maybe I'm being overly semantic, and I can see you've chosen the word 'expectations' carefully. Even so, I think it's ok to give yourself a mental head start on yourself, and start with a positive expectation as opposed to a negative or an absent one.

But that's purely my take on it, and how I play - not at all recommending it to anyone else, and my journal has several examples of where my attitude has bitten me in the ass!
