Graham,

I have broken par during the winter months on summer greens but shorter tees, but I have never managed to break 76 during summer from the back tees. I think it is just that I do not have the consistancy just yet or the fact that I haven't done it yet, once I have then I am sure it will become easier.

Breaking 90 for someone with less ability is no different in my opinion, all golfers have to reach their own goals and each goal is just as nerve racking and difficult until you achieve it.

However I will say that as your ability reaches breaking par level I think you put more pressure on yourself, the job is no different because your ability is better.

I think you tend to rehearse the club house speaches about the 17th tee and lose concentration.


I will gladly agree to disagree, maybe someone else can throw a penny in.


Thanks

Ian.
