I was going through a really rough patch and was becoming increasingly frustrated. I knew it was all in my head but I would get on the course and could not play. I took the last month off and focused on fitness which I have been doing for the last 6 months. I am leaving for Hawaii on Thursday and was seriously thinking of not even taking my clubs. My wife brought me to my senses so I went to play yesterday.
I went into the round to just play golf and have fun. I had the best ball striking day in quite a while and I actually had fun again. I ended up shooting a 85 with double on 17 and 18. The one on 17 irritated the crap out of me mainly because of the ridiculous pin placement. The green is a ling narrow uphill green except for the last 6-7 feet where it drops off about 30* downhill. The had the pin just on the downhill side of that ridge. I was on in 2 and 4 putted! This is a muni that I played since my club was having a corporate event yesterday.
It felt so good to just play and not be fighting 10 different swing thoughts. I made my tee time for Friday at Kona Country Club already.
