I never quit! Because I HATE playing poor golf, I'll go into rescue mode and try to find a way to score...

Let's say you start out with a rough first 3 holes. If you are a low handicap player think a double and a couple of bogeys. For a high handicap player think multiple OB off the tee and some 3 putts. How do you turn it around? Or do you basically phone it in and "have fun"?
I have watched this at multiple THP Events and it seems that its very different for different golfers. Some quickly "quit" and point out that they are "just having fun" and others grind to get it back and see when the switch flips.
Now keep in mind that neither is right or wrong, but I was curious after witnessing it on a few occasions.
I do not quit. I post every score that is able to be scored. I know that my handicap is legit. Regardless what ATLGolfer thinks!!Ill ask again because I think a few missed it, but if the guys that pretty much kill it and play for fun and stop keeping score when things are not going well, how accurate do they think their handicap is? Genuine question. Ill add do people that do not feel their handicap travels, do you think this is one of the reasons?
I try to play 6 sets of 3 holes, with a goal per each set. This lets me re-set and put the blow up behind me. However, I can't say that always happens and format definitely matters - if it is a casual round with friends and beers I'm much more likely to mail it in but grind if it is a competitive round.
