Re: Practical mental tips please

I just read an interesting concept that I've already failed to put into practice.

We'd all agree that we have an "A game" where we can do no wrong, and a new PB is surely incoming, a "B game" which is our normal game, resulting in our normal score, and a "C game" which is the polar opposite of the A game, where nothing goes right and a new PW was reached with 6 holes left to play.

The idea is that each game has a different strategy. You can be very aggressive with the A game, but need to play very conservative with the C game. Hence, we start out the round with C game conservation, playing this way two or three holes until we see where we're at for the round. If we're doing fine, we can step up the risk to the B game, or, if we're already on fire, jump right to the A game (if it seems like an A game day).

Maybe tee off with your C game (ultra conservative, 98% guaranteed safe shot), and move from there.

I took the idea right to the parking lot last time out, but lost it somewhere between the parking lot and the first tee.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
