So, I feel like I'm a fairly optimistic player and I do my best to stay in the moment and not let my bad holes drain me. I go into each round hoping for a 70's round, figuring I'll be content with low 80's, flustered, but not upset with mid-upper 80's, and totally dejected with 90+. Anyway, I can stay in it even after a terrible hole if it's early in the round, but if I have a bad hole (I took a 9 on a par 4 on 16 last round) late in the round, I'll abandon all care and start hitting crazy shots. I'll hit driver when I would normally hit 3wd or less, I'll try flop shots when I'd usually try low runner, etc. I figure if the round is "over" I might as well learn a little bit and put some "off the wall" shots in my memory bank for later.
What say you? Do you grind it out no matter how bad the round gets?
