Isn't quitting kind of like "reverse sandbagging"? This makes your HC lower than it should be, by not including these "bad" rounds?

I don't quit in tournament rounds.

If I'm playing a few holes by myself I don't see the point in going on if I'm playing terrible.

I don't quit when I'm playing bad. Sometimes I'm tempted to. But I try to play through it and hope it gets better. If I'm really playing poorly, usually it doesnt. Something I'm working really hard on is forgetting that last bad shot or hole and "starting fresh" with the next.

What I Play:

Driver: R9 460
4 Wood: G15

Hy: Callaway FT 3Hy

Irons: AP1 4-PW

Wedges: Vokey 52* & 60*, Mizuno MP-T 10 58*

Putter: Newport Studio Select 2.7

Ball: Nike One Vapor

Today is a prime example why I don't "normally" quit. I hit my one and only decent drive of the day, about 260 down the left side and on the short stuff, leaving about 140 to the green. 2nd shot was right off the toe and maybe I gained 15 yards, but under a tree in the right rough! Pulled it out from under the tree, and took the blasted penalty stroke AGAIN!!! Next shot was the most beautiful 9-iron I may have ever hit. Three feet from the pin, and still managed to bogey the hole... You just have to LOVE this game!!

That's a tough thing for me as well. When I have my blow up hole, it tends to carry over to the next one. It's hard to put the last hole behind me & start fresh.

I often play alone in the early a.m.. If I am facing a bad round, I will quit and hit the range to correct my issues. Quitting while playing with a group...well that's just rude.

If I'm at the point where nothing is going right and I'm not having any fun, I don't see why I would keep playing (If I'm a member at the course and golf is "free").

I've never thought of hanging them up in the middle of a round. Playing through the 'adversity' of blow up holes, and missed shots or putts is something that I am always working on. I know those holes are coming but afterwards I have to walk to the next tee box and vanish the last hole or shot from my mind. For me this is the difference betweeen carding an 84 versus a 90. The only way I'd walk off the course is due to injury or weather.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
