When I commented on the blog the point I was really making was about expectations, i.e. if the best golfers around can have fluctuations of ten shots between rounds then maybe there's a danger that our expectations are out of wack, especially as when / if we watch golf on TV we generally get shown the guy scoring 67 not the one scoring 77. This over expectation leads to a number of things - all off which I've been guilty of in the past and am still guilty of the third.
1. Have you ever played with anyone who after three holes declares that "this this is the worst I've ever played" - everytime
2. Do you know anyone who after ONE bad round goes off to work on (fiddle with) their swing rather than accepting that it was just a bad day.
3. Do you see people repeatedly going for shots without considering the consequences of not getting it perfect.
I am trying to accept that I will be inconsistent no matter how much better I get and that getting frustrated over it only prevents me from making improvements.
