I have just stopped scoring well in all competition rounds i play!

This year has just been horrid for me on the golf course whenever i have had a card in the pocket. I beat my handicap probably about 80% of the time im playing bounce games but cant get anywhere near it in medal rounds.
Last year my worst medal score was 75 (Par 69) and i played in about 15...this year ive played in about 10 and my best score has been 77

I didn't play any golf from August last year until April this year due to Uni work and a shoulder injury but surely that hasnt made me lose my competitive edge completely?!
I feel everytime i stand on the 1st tee now that i need to shoot low and the added pressure im putting on myself isnt helping!

Any mental tips anyone has to keep calm and focused?

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By retoid ·

      Took my wedges in to get regripped and saw the local store had some leftover Pure grips, was pretty excited to see those still around. Got those put onto my wedges, I love these grips, they have such a great feel to them. Also picked up a brand new (opened and second hand) Cleveland Huntington Beach putter for a great price! About %50 of retail. It had been purchased by someone else who decided to buy a different putter and was never used. I love the feel of it.

      I’m not sure I’m following you. My current plan is to take the bunkers out of play completely and hit something like a 6i to 130-150 range.

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.
