Cswern,

You have answered your own question in a fashion.......................Play each hole as a new game, or play 6 hole games, if you h/capp is say 9 you have three drop shots on each six, this way you play mini games and you will find yourself a couple under your h/capp sometimes.....................these games are designed to keep your mind concentrated on the bigger picture.

Try and think of the game as a whole round, you may get putts that you shouldn't really have made which make up for the odd lip out, same when you drive, sometimes you hit a bad drive and get away with it finding the green, sometimes you chip out............................all in all the final result/score reflects you attitude to yourself and your overhaul game plan.


Stay cool and don't worry there are people out there who would give anything just for one game of golf, think yourself lucky.


Hope this helps.


Ian.
