Background: I have been playing for 4 years, still have major form issues but I am sadly one of the better players in MA2 where I am at (not very competitive). I usually play doubles weekly and usually finish near the top and just got 4th in a singles tournament.
I remember been told I need to relax more, be more smooth, etc. But I found that during tournament I can be too relaxed?
Day 1 of tournament I almost had my 1st ace two holes in, then almost an eagle. So I was doing well, maybe I got too relaxed. Second half I missed few lines and only ended with -2.
Day 2, I started the round bit angry with myself and focused. Started getting birdies left and right. I ended the day with -8 and got 4th for the tournament.
Even then I did throw an jump putt when I should have just laid up and ended with a boggie, that shot alone caused me 3rd place. I think all the doubles game made me too relaxed and have the mind of having fun and try things. That might work well for casual games but for tournaments I need my game face on.
Is this normal? Or are relaxed during shots and focused mental game are just different aspects?
Thanks
