hi
i think its down to concentration or the lack off it, i think that is what make us handicap player so diffrent from the pro's and scrach golfers, the way they go through the same set up on ever shot and can almost see the shot in there minds eye, the pro's seem to be able to focus on a shot and we cant seem to for a full round only for a few holes. i like to play a round alone now and then and i try to focus on every shot and when i do i seem to play so much better, my bad shot never seem as bad as normal and i tend not to play a shot i would only hit the target once in 10 out of a 100 shots so play more the percentage shots and as a result score better.
i do find my mind drifting off and thinking off work and other thing and it is hard to focus before every shot but i think its someting you have to pratice and work on and i dont think many of us do?
