It seems like at times I get so mentally sloppy that I can’t be trusted to make course management decisions on my own. Case in point: yesterday, I played at my new club for the first time since I joined (and for the first time there in a year or two). I wasn’t playing great, but the conditions were pretty rough. The course was saturated, there was a ton of wind, and the greens had recently been de-thatched for the spring and haven’t healed yet which made putting tough.

If I want to be a golf pro then at some point I might have to play in front of a few spectators (I’m not talking about the Masters…heck, there are spectators at a lot of the mini-tour and larger amateur events). So I
