This is great advice, but very difficult to follow for some (myself included). The more competitive we are, I think the more difficult it becomes. I know that now, sitting at ~12, I'd have a hard time looking at the #9-12 handicap holes as bogey holes most of the time. I think our expectations are based too much on our best instead of our expected.
I completely agree, and I look at some holes the same way despite my 9 handicap - It is more about not getting too disappointed with a score on holes where your handicap allowance gives you shots to play with
