I agree with what was said above.

Just some thoughts on practice rounds.

1. I tend not to keep score during a practice round. I found that I was comparing my competitive round to what I did the day before. This could be distracting and worrisome especially if the early holes of the tournament did not start as well as the practice round.

2. Use the practice round to get to know the course, especially around the greens. The pin for the tournament is not going to be in the same spot it is during the practivce round, so don't worry about putting to it. Practice putts in each quadrant of the green to get an idea of speed and break.

3. Try some bunker shots, if you're playing your practice round for score you mey not be in any.

4. Take notes. Record trouble off the tee, club selection on par 3s, general slope of greens, etc. and refer to this during the tournament. You've got to be your own caddy when it comes to this.

Good Luck.
