Keep us posted on how the next one goes.
Like Hogan said, "theirs golf, and then theirs tournament golf".
The two biggest challenges for me are: playing courses you've never seen before and dealing with tournament nerves. Experience helps with the second, but I think you have to learn it and keep at it. Practice rounds and going back to the same tournaments helps the first, if you can do it.
My tournament index is almost 5 shots higher than my handicap fwiw.
