I'm sure this has happened to all of us, but this weekend, I was playing like a pro - 7 GIR's in the first 9 holes (but 2 weak 3 putts left me only two under my handicap sadly), I could have been 3 or 4 under my handicap for 9 holes easily. It was a dream round.
Of course, I mentally recognised that I was playing well, and started thinking about what my score COULD be at the end of the round, and in fact, I remember making the comment to my playing partners that my GIR was right up there. Big mistake.
I ended up shooting 9 over my handicap for the last 9 holes...
Is there a technique that we can use to train ourselves to not start thinking more than one shot into the future? Or is it just a matter of just trying not to?
