I play my best when there are hot cart girls driving around..... =P

Seriously though, getting off the first tee box nicely does alot for my confidence that round. I dont know what it is, but its tough for me to calm the first tee jitters.

I always play better when I am do not keep track of my own score, now that is very hard to do, but it helps if I am with a good group of people and am able to joke around.

I usually play much better if I'm not stressed out about anything at home or at work and if I'm with friends that I can have a good time with that I know I won't hold up. I have a lot of friends that are around the same handicap as me so if I hit a bad shot and I see them do the same thing it makes me feel much better and have more confidence. I know it kinda sounds mean, but when the people I'm playing with struggle for a hole or if they compliment me on a few shots it just relieves my nerves. On that note, I try to compliment everyone else's shots and tell them that they'll be fine from that spot and that it could've been much worse...things of that sort.

Good post!

lol i can't say the same, a few weeks ago i was hitting a 4i from about 210 out or so.. and i shanked it in the direction of the nearby cart girl missing her by about 5 yards ha.

i feel i play my best when i'm walking by myself. usually have my headphones on with some low hip-hop music on.

Hitting one good shot.

The rest of the round seems to go a lot smoother and scores are generally better. Doesn't always happen at the same time, but the one good one helps me lead to another ...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 24 9-7 Worked on lower body movement with full swing. Focused on hips. Need to work on setup a bit. Was hoping to get to the short game area today, stayed home and recorded some swings instead. I've come to the conclusion I learn the most with my practice setup at home, just a net and a hitting strip. Overall happy with the progress this week.

      Day 2 (September 7), still with the grip and the medicine ball (using weights).   Still on vacation and really aching to be able to do a full practice the way I'd be able to at home.  Also bought a 1/2" section of pipe today at the hardware store and have been regularly practicing the grip with that too while watching Sunday football with the family.

      Day 1: Worked on feels for wedge swings. Primarily getting everything to move from the top of the backswing in the correct sequence.

      Day 6 (7 Sep 25) - Afternoon pitch session with the 54 and 58 in the backyard. Keys: Alignment - Setup - Smooth swing thru - working on each to be as “automatic” as possible - not mindless, but deliberately repeatable. I have found the precision required to properly execute carries well into the full swings.

      180% is the threshold. But yeah, many of them are close to 200%. Not 120 and 123%. People generate speed differently. I think your speed will come more easily when this stuff gets sorted out. Stay disciplined. Stay on the road. You can't get off exit 74 before you hit exit 32.
