And it made me wish putting only counted for half a stroke

It's a Robert Trent Jones course, owned by Colgate University. Rating of 74.6, Slope of 143. Greens are pretty big and lightning quick. I felt like I played very well aside from putting (I three-putted a bunch...), where I hit a decent number of greens in regulation - probably about 10 or so. My putting ruined me though; I never play greens like these. Even the hardest courses in my area don't have greens this difficult to put on so I rarely have to face greens that bring me to my knees; this was one of those greens. I shot an 87 on the par-72. I did make a birdie putt that was probably about 90 feet though, so that was very rewarding. As the day went on, I had much fewer three-putts as I was getting used to the speeds, but at first it was brutal.
But, if you're ever near Colgate University and have time for a round of golf, give it a look. Their fees are very reasonable.

    • It isn't about maintaining focus 100% of the time when you are on the course. It is getting focus back for the shot at hand. Even PGA tour players will chat with their caddies or opponents about non-golf stuff, but then lock in. It is hard to try to constantly be 100% locked in for 4+ hours.  Totally normal thing to happen. You really only need a few moments of focus.  This is where a pre-shot routine helps. Maybe you need to add something that gets the focus back.  I just focus on every shot like a puzzle that needs solved. I like solving puzzle and problems. So, I try to be curious. Which then enhances focus. I think it lets me take each shot at hand. It lets me have the down time between shots. What I do is just get to the ball, and then start gathering information. Yardage, lie, wind, where is the pin at, etc.. Then I figure out what I want to do.  It's not like I can't shut off the thoughts and focus when I need to. I only need to focus for a few minutes before each shot.
