Lately, I have been trying to focus more for each shot (not always successful, but better than last year). And it seem that I am more tired after the round. (I walk). I still workout everyday like I have been for the last 20 years, so I don't think I am getting tired physically.

But it seems like ever since I started to concentrate more on each shot I get worn out at the end of the round. Do you see any difference when you concentrate more during a round?

I have always struggled with falling apart at the end of a round, especially when I'm under pressure and concentrating. I'm sure you stay hydrated and if not, you should lol. Something that has helped me recently: I buy a Payday at the course on the front 9 and the back 9. Has peanuts which are a good source of proteins and such, and I have actually seemed to play my back 9s better now. Of course I would assume some crackers with peanut butter in them might help as well. Hope it helps!

Funny, my go-to is peanut M&Ms...;

to the OP, maybe you need to find times to give yourself a mental break. I know I struggled really badly when I started reffing Ice hockey, not because my legs were tired from skating for 3 hours straight, but because my mind was so focused all the time, I never got a break. I would end up zoning out and missing calls. Talking with experienced refs, and learning myself, you figure out times to let your mind rest a little bit. Its the same with a round of golf. You have to rest your mind sometimes.

Being mentally worn out is almost as bad as being physically worn out. I concentrate on every shot as much as I can but in between shots, I like to talk with my partners and get my mind off of it for a few minutes between holes. As long as you can bring your concentration back before your next shot, this helps....or it has helped me.

This is a good point. When I play my best, I'm concentrating over every shot, but I wouldn't be able to tell you what my score is overall. Sometimes I play music on my phone if I'm alone on the course.

I tried that the other day. Things were going slowly and I was walking. I listend to some tunes on my iPod while walking and killing time between shots. The tunes helped.

I will give that a try this weekend. Maybe I can beat 78!

You're just getting old

That's beside the point.

the only time the mental aspect starts wearing on me is when the bogeys doubles and triples start stacking up... other than that playing in this heat get me the most tired...
then again if i start a birdie and par run i feel more than invigorated

i'm a novice and while i love the game I've found that usually around hole 14 or 15 I start to lose focus -- 5 hour energy!!

the carbs and protein you get from the peanut snacks are probably just as good but i've yet to try that -- but at hole 9 I drink my little shot and I remain focused for all 18.

in my bag right now -- working on upgrading
