you just end up shooting terrible?
Haha this happen to anyone else? I've been a fairly solid player for a handful of years now but nothing was as heartbreaking as my last tournament outing. I was pumped up, excited, felt good, mentally prepared - but wasn't able to get out and play so Physically prepared? I was not.
I had decent Tee shots, left myself putts at birdie....and just failed on all of them. Even missed a few 15-20 footers when I was CTP of the group. It wasn't much else other than Wind, Un-even greens and the big one, NO COMMITMENT. I was putting more to not have a bad lie vs actually MAKING the dang putt.
It was a bit of disappointment. I even had a great drive on one of my final holes, long mild hills windy. I had about a 50 ft upshot slightly uphill with a headwind. I decided to play for the 3 and lay up. I chose a stable speed 4 disc to spin up there. Aaaaaaand, it just hits the dirt right away leaving me with a 25 footer instead of being parked, which I shoulda been.
Of course, miss the putt, just sad, take a 4 on a hole I would hope to have a bid at a 2 on.
There were positives that I can take away. I did hit some 2's, I had a few good drives a few solid putts and played overall OK. But...Anyone else just have a off tournament that doesn't feel right at all (just uncomfortable) despite knowing your skillset and being in game mode?
Where do we go from here?
I just need to play more. I did just have a baby and have only gotten a few rounds over the last 6 weeks. meh
