Finally.........all you can do is keep putting yourself in that position on 17 until you are focused on the shot in hand and not the score, remember next time your only there with a good score because your playing well.


Easier said than done I know.


Well done again

Ian.
Good points Ian and thanks for the kind words.

I'll put the bump and run on my practice list along with the bunkers - putting is always there ofcourse in an attempt to keep under 30ppr.

My problem with bunkers is mainly where (like my pay and play) there is next to no sand and very small greens; I really don't know how to play those and therefore never really commit to the shot.

You're so right about repeatedly getting into that position as well. The thing that hurts most this time is that I got the tee shot away which is where the pressure would normally tell and played the hole sensibly before blowing it.
