And so recently Ive noticed 2 (or 3) of my very worst rounds have come after I was basically up for 36+ hrs.
Ok so I managed a couple hrs shuteye in that time. In a nut shell its about getting stuck at work for multiple double shifts etc. For me specifically its getting up 430 am , getting home perhaps noonish the next day with possible a couple hrs of half ass shuteye (not real sleep) and heading out for a round.
I feel ok going in and certainly get an upkick as I showerd and head out to play. But on the way home I can barely keep eyes open while driving just the half hr.
And fwiw I also walk when I play. So add that to the mix.
And so im thinking......while I don't feel all that exhausted while playing , I wonder if I actually am even thoug I don't realize it. I mean yea I feel fatigued on the last 3rd of the round and the back begins to sore a bit and over all laziness picks up a notch. But I don't really feel all that much overly exhausted. At least not till I start to drive and my eyes want to close almost right out of the parking lot. that's when Im like ..."wow" wake up, wake up.
So it got me curious. Is it any coincidence that these most worst rounds are on the heels of an exhausting scenario? Do I have that to take some of the blame for the poorer play in these rounds? The reason I question it is because if I don't feel all that bad while playing (at least I don't think so), then how can it be it is to blame? But then I think (on the other hand) its very hard driving home as my eys want to close as I leave the lot and so I must be much more exhausted than i thought after all.
Just to recap the facts.
In my 50's ,
up for 36+ hrs with minimal knapping,
walking the round and up over 40 hrs by the time done.
been playing somewhat better with exception of these rounds and they are the worst by a large number of strokes
Well....what do you think? Coincidence? and id probably be shooting my worst rounds regardless? Or are they tied to the poor scenario of fatigue and exhaustion considering the facts prior?
And what about you? does or would a similar scenario affect your performance? .
