All it takes is one or two flashes of brilliance and all of the sudden it's the best thing in the world right?

 Shoot a 100, but PAR 18 and you're back.

Once you shoot a low score. You know what you are capable of

It gets easier to repeat.

 

But the problem is once you let your brain tell yourself you figured it out and your body is sold on the idea. The bottom falls out and you have a bad round or two then start second guessing what you were doing during the good.

Vicious cycle

Golf, the biggest mind fuck I have ever dealt with

My point was overall shooting 87 after shooting 124 was that you are capable of 87 or possibly better. It gets easier once you know you can do it.

 

I did not mean to throw in the negative twist of losing it. That is more about myself

The key was "kept it to 2 putts."

Until I commit myself to practicing on and around the greens I will never shoot below 90. I can hit a fairly decent drive and approach. Maybe not on in 2 (par 4) but somewhere near the green. That is where me and most other amateurs fail. "Drive for show, putt for dough."

I am the complete opposite. I can't hit the ball at all (literally can't), but put me on the green and I'm making bombs. 

This is why my team always wins when me and some friends play against each other in groups.

P.S. The Tiger Woods games on the Wii made me a much better putter (have to have the motion plus).

Was shooting the round of my life last week, then had a total mind fuck on holes 11 and 12 (triple bogey and quadraple bogey). Ended up with a 91, when it should have been around 86. Still not over it and it was 8 days ago. Played yesterday and stunk it up. No game fucks me up more than golf. 

God, I love it!!!!!!!

Happens to to everyone at one time or another.

What works for me is to get on the range ASAP and get a wedge and intentionally try and shank every ball. Its a backwards exercise but as you do this. You start to understand how to shank it then move on and try to say goodbye
