What the.............
I just remember how much I love playing this game, and how much fun it is to me. If I allow my self to get frustrated then it's not fun and there's no reason to be out there. So move on and enjoy myself.........

Bingo! Compared to some of the other problems in the world, hitting a few bad golf shots is pretty insignifigant.I could put 10 balls into a pond. Then I would get home and get a kiss from my daughter. Guess what, those 10 balls didn't mean a damned thing.
Its amazing how relative this game is no matter what handicap we are, hence the thread about wether or not we can ever truely be content and/or satisfied. But my suggestion to the OP would be this and i hope it would help. Think about just how good you are to have a 6 cap. Most golfers, including myself can only dream of that. What you consider a collapsed round is probably what most could never even reach.
During that "collapsed round" considering your cap (relatively speaking) your probably still making more shots, more often then what most others can make at all. Some of your "frustrating" mishits are probably shots that many others might say "hey thats not bad"
I'm not saying you should never feel or shouldnt have the right to feel frustrated but mearly suggesting that if you think about how fortunate it is to be as good as you are vs most golfers who ever play this game and look at it in that light, then perhaps it will help to ease that frustration just enough so it doesnt stay with you for long at all while playing after couple bad(relatively speaking) shots.
The biggest factor for me is playing with people who are fun and enjoy the game and can dish some trash talk and take some When my partners and I can laugh at ourselves and each other it takes out all frustration.
I know what you're saying, and I thought the same thing years ago, but it just doesn't work for me...

Only way I know is to not play! There is always a little frustration in every round I play.
man, I used to be an angry golfer...I know...sounds crazy. But I have learned this same thing...at the end of the day, its just a score. It can always be improved upon.
I get frustrated and usually call myself an idiot or something not so nice. Then I forget about it and try again. No advice I can really give you as to how to let things go. You just have to make the conscious effort to tell yourself to move on.
A bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at work
If I see my round going south, I'll order a beer or two. Makes me relax and enjoy being out on the course. You gotta have fun out there. It's just a game for us amateurs and we will not have our best swing every round.
