I haven't played or practiced much over the summer. First part of the summer I was helping my daughter train for fall softball. I've played three times this summer. Shot a couple of mid 80's scores and one 90 while I was on vacation. I felt discouraged, but I remember an article I read that said that breaking 80 was extremely difficult and that shooting par gets even worse and that you will play worse at times in pursuit of trying to lower your score.
I played in this group when I shot 90 on vacation with a guy that was just absolutely striping the ball. After we played about 8 holes, he asked me if I played alot, I said yeah, but playing well was a different story. He told me I had a hell of a short game, so it gave me a boost to go back and play and practice more the rest of this summer because one of my goals is to shoot 75. I just need to focus my practice time and focus on what I do well instead of dwelling on the negatives.
