stinger

Hi Parker0065, thanks so much, that just about sums it up ! I will adapt this technique I suppose I have to smile at his comments & turn the tables, as fighting fire with fire I loose ! Have tried theat route Next time out it's the new ME

Ok, buddy or friend. I aim to confront him. Medal in 2 weeks, which is when he comes to play. Any bad, banter & I will question him & advise him it must stop. Shame to lose a friendship over a handicap !

Hey I like most of these replies, thanks Cipher,yes I am easy going. Am not interested in winning just improving my hcap:-) But my buddy ! Won't have me get lower than his hcap Be just great to be able to focus, but I get so down when he commences his barracking & low life comments I crumble & instead of focusing on the ball / target my head is scrambled, my swing I becomes the fastest on the planet, but the ball zooms anywhere Maybe to control my breathing & consciously slow down will help But can't stop my mind thinking of his comments !

Hi guys & thanks for some entertaining replys:-):-) I so like the idea of tuning him out ! But how ? Nothing bothers him, he is a rhino ! Don't like the idea of bitchy battles on the course. Out leisure time is supposed to be enjoyable & a choice. Don't like a weekend of unhappiness on the course. So, to block him out, regain my focus, concentration, after his outburst of personal abuse & my mind is in tatters, how or what puts me back on track ? Thanks

Hello, I have an issue with a club member who professes to be a friend He does though I feel try everything to destroy my game ! During medal play if I am playing well he will say personal or derogatory things to break me. This is not my imagination, another member who also played in our group now refuses to play due to his actions. I have persisted, though am fed up with having my weekends spoilt by this man. I try to block out his vile, bit eventually he breaks me as my thoughts over the ball are on his behaviour & not on my objective. I would love to be able to reverse this & block him out, bit how do I do it ? He has rhino skin ! Help please
