Questions for the 0-8 handicap

[TourSpoon]

Today, on the first hole, I blade my 85 yard wedge over the green on the par 5 under a tree.  I manage to get it on the green to 3 putt...Double...I quickly try to review what we all said on this thread and decide to stay shot by shot and not panic.  I go bogey, bogey, bogey and I am now 5 over after 4 holes.  Par the next three and finish bogey-bogey for a 43.  The next hole I hit an amazing pitch to 6 feet and three putt for a double!  Now I am really trying to just focus on the quality of the shot.  Par-par-par-par-birdie...nice stretch.  Thinking I am somebody again I fall off a wedge (I just hit a wedge to 2 feet for the kick in bird) to leave it short.  Trying to get cute I chunk then get on for another double.  A bogey on 17 and then when I least expect it finish with a bird on 18 for an 82. I never panicked, but did get too careless with some shots that I lost focus on, but being 5 over after 4, most people would think 10 over was out of the question.  Now this round equates to a 9.2 for cap purposes and will get thrown out, but I am glad I didn't let it ruin my day as it could have been worse.  Funny, at the first hole sitting at 85 yards I was thinking how nice it is to have a legit birdie chance and then got sloppy.  I guess that shows me for trying to think score and not shot quality.
