Title: Getting Over A Really Bad Round - part 1
I had one of the worst rounds in years the other day and it inspired me to do this video.

It was so bad it was actually comical. How is it that I can play a dozen rounds in a row where I feel like I can place a drive 260 yards out there on the fairway, at will, and then play this latest round and feel like this same driver is literally broken?

Well, I'm not going to try to explain it, in fact, I think that's a waste of time. In these videos I'm going to tell you what to do about it when it happens...because guess what...it happens. And it happens to everyone, including the greatest in the world. (show clips - do Youtube search of "bad golf shots by pros" )

Did you hear about Kevin Na scoring a 16, the worst ever on a par 4?

For starters, I'm thinking that makes you feel a little bit better like it does for me. That's step 1, the beginning of the healing right there. Go watch videos of pro golfers screwing up. Type in Youtube: Worst Golf Shots

Going backwards, Here's what you do when this first happens on the course.

During the round, when you know you've lost it. Why not just stop trying, start laughing, and have some fun? That's what I did about the 8th hole when my scorecard was shot. Try some crazy shots. Go for tight pins. Swing as hard as you can.

I basically threw the scorecard away, hailed the cart girl for a beer, and just had fun! (show me with beer)

Now, here's the ironic part...you know what I'm going to say don't you? Yep, right after I did that, I started having some good shots. I loosened WAYYYY up. I didn't finish strong enough to end up with a good score but I did continue to play with the INTENTION of remembering how to play loose to ingrain in my memory banks this feeling. Playing loose and free!

THAT is what I wanted to remember from this round. That's my useful takeaway.

Go on to part 2 to find out how to delete the experience from your memory banks and get back to playing the way you know how.
