My recent GHIN update puts me at an 8.5 handicap. Sounds great in theory, but Im still THAT GOLFER with a single digit handi that has never broken 80. And its frustrating. Like a mental block.
My last round, I shot an 80 on the number. 6500 yards. 72.7 Rating with 142 slope for a 5.8 differential.
Which got me thinking...
Should I go seek out an easier course, like muni with easier approaches and greens, and attempt it there? Im the type that once I do it for the first time, doing it again is easy. However, also enjoy the challenge and dont want to do it for the sake of a vanity PR.
1. Play easier course to break through the 80 barrier so I can get it over the mental challenge.
2. Suck it up and keep on trying on the more difficult layouts until I can finally do it.
What yall think?
