To me it's the distracter... I know there is nothing worse than when I'm about to hit, and I hear this other guy whistling....

Thanks.

No, New York...

Oh and a 92 I shot.. Ehh, I'll take it......

Thanks.. my putting was pretty good for the most part... I made most two putts a couple of 1s and two 3s from just impossible locations.. Thanks... My drives weren't good, but I had a great iron game.. Thanks.

Thanks guys, it wasn't my best round but it certainly wasn't a 107. I shot a 92. It felt like a much better round though, I only tree putted I think twice, and that was on the first and second.. Thanks..

My friend was playing round in a tournament, and he was in a group in front of me. It was a shortn enough par 3 that I could hit pitching wedge, and I was on the green of the previous hole, and they were all screaming for it 5o to in, and As it rolled closer, half of the ball was in, and IT HIT A ROCK! The pebble stopped iit. He got a picture of it on his phone, I'll try and get it uploaded.......

Thanks, and that should help me tomorrow. It's a good way to view a long putt, and a short one for that matter... Thanks, and because I've played there a couple of times, I know the speed of the greens which should help. Thanks..

Thanks.. and you're right, golf is about being relaxed.

So I am playing at an away course, which includes 9 holes that I shot a 39 on once, last year.. I am coming off a very bad round, the worst round of my life, where I shot a 107. I know that if we want to win, then I need to have a much better round than yesterday. The best round I shot so far was I believe high 80s, like 87. But I know, if I can get everything to go right, and not make any three putts, than I KNOW I can break 85. The biggest problem my last match was my putting. I was three putting many holes.. Also, my drive was slicing (btw, I hit a 3-wood off of the tee). All of last week, me and my coach focused on getting rid of my slice, and I did it, with a few of his tips.. And I guess I just fell back into my bad habits... But I know that I can have a great round, if I get off to a good start and keep my foot on the pedal. The slice and the putting is what I can do to shoot low, but my biggest problem last hole was a bad start that had me trying to drop strokes as I was 5 over on the third. I am usually much better on the back, (that was the 9 I shot a 39) and I know if I can play two back nines, than I can and I will shoot a good round. But how do I do that? Thanks.

Than to everyone for the advice.. I've evaluated the round,and really, what went wrong was that I let a bad hole/shot get to me. A positive thing that I will take from this is that although my back was bad, I dropped 11 strokes.. I didn't let the bad front get to me.. I worked all week to try and get rid of a slice in my drive, and I didn't focus on my fundamentals, I sliced alot of balls, and I three putted quite frequently... So I will walk onto the first tee tomorrow with the confidence that I know how to golf, on a nine where I once shot a 39 and I WILL play well. Thanks to all.

Oh nothing like that, I got a feel for the greens and hit a few chips. My first hole was ok but it was downhill from there..,

Hey, I went through the same thing... where I live it was hot and humid too, and It was just a tough day..

Plus I think part of it could have been that within 5 minutes of getting off the bus we were golfing, because we were late..

Thanks

Yeah, I play tourneys, and am in a league so I'm used to the tournament play...

Btw I usually shoot like a 92..

So I am on a high school golf team, and we had a tri-match today... I was in the two hole up from my normal 3 spot. But I am not quite sure what happened or how it really happened, but I played the worst round of gold in my life. I was confident (but not cocky) that I would have a good round. I ended up shooting an 59 ( YEP, A FREAKING 59) on the front. By then I knew a good round was well out of reach. And I didn't do good on the back either with a 48. I shot a 107, the worst round of golf I have ever played in my life. I was more concerned with the front though. I don't use a driver, I don't like the risk. So I was hitting my 3-wood. And it seemed like anything that could go wrong went wrong. I would slice it or pull it left or hit it 10 yards. This was only my second match (i am a freshman), and we were 1 and 1 going into this against one odd the teams that beat us. We knew we could beat the one, but the other would be tough. We knew we would have to play well. Plus, the kid who was 4th who is usually behind me, shot a 100 which Is good for him, so now I'm in jeopardy in belong number 4 on my next , match on Thursday. I know I can play golf, and I know I can shoot an 85 on a good day, but how do I put this in the back of my head and go in with a fresh attitude on Thursday, away at a course I know. Thanks..
