I played my usual Tuesday Golf at Shawnee GC again today. I haven't shot a good round at Shawnee in many weeks. Today was another bad round. I know my score doesn't seem that bad, but I know how many bad shot I hit. I shot a 41 - 44 = 85.
I'm just hitting way too many bad shots. I can accept shots that aren't my best. I know I won't always hit the perfect shot, but I shouldn't be hitting as many terrible shots as I do. I hit 2 out of bounds today. Seems like lately '2' out of play per round is becoming the 'norm'. I hit a ball out of bounds off the tee on numbers 10 and 17. My score stays fairly respectible because I hit a lot of really good shots. So, if I can just keep those terrible shots down to just shots that are only so-so, I can have a great round.
I know why I hit them. I don't keep my concentration on the shot I know I need. As soon as I hit a bad shot I know my focus wasn't as it should have been. I seem to have a hard time keeping that intense concentration on each shot for an entire round. I know I don't play deliberate golf like a lot of people, but I have pretty good concentration when I'm over the ball. I think that's why noises or people talking when I'm hitting just doesn't bother me like it does a lot of the people I play with. So, I know those bad shots are just a lack of concentration on the shot at hand.
Oh well, another nice walk on a nice day. This was my 53rd round for the year!
