I play in a fair number of tournaments every year. I also play every year in the club championship... while a lot of my friends don't play because they can't win. My point... simply play more tournament golf. Too often players lock themselves into a set tee time with a set foursome.
I also play a lot of vacation golf with strangers. I often describe my game as "Good enough not to embarass myself, yet weak enough not to embarass the other players."
My second tip would be to encourage your tournament to have a "Skins Game". Have each player throw in $5 and let the fun begin. Having the Skins Game during the tournament means the very next hole IS a chance to win. It really does encourage you to forget your horrible holes and start fresh on the next hole. Surprisingly you will find it also will help your scoring!

Try reading Bob Rotella's books. It might help you to get that perfect state of mind. And get some hard, cheap balls. Like top-flite's or something. Definately read the books, though.

      Day 305 - Grip and backswing work. Full swings were bothering the hip a bit.

      Day 56 - 2024-11-15 Light day. Lots of catch-up work. Checked the grip to make sure I wasn't compensating there, and did a little backswing work.

      Day 197 (15 Nov 24) - Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management.  Solid round of 83 (41/42) - 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      Have been on a mid to low 80’s roll of late - today was no different with an 83 (41 front / 42 back).   Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management, delivering 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  Local course starting to get that winter feel - wet areas wetter, thin grass thinner, greens  trickier.
