Practice, Practice, Practice, scores come down, still do bad in tournament

[paininthenuts]

There are 2 types of golfer, those who play up to a comp, and those who play down. I am the latter. I have played loads of comps, and only once played to my handicap. I play at a small club, and know most of the members. When I play I am not nervous or apprehensive, but I still play rubbish. I'm not giving up on comps because I now see it a challenge that I want to concur. As far as the child in question is concerned, if your not careful he/she may just give up, so I would suggest you don't push them into playing comps if they don't want to.
