Well today was another interesting challenge on the links.  I started with 5 bogeys on the first 6 holes.  And I THREE PUTTED 4 times!  OUCH!  I was confused, frightened (ok not really), annoyed, and well confused again.  I started to press my game to get back a stroke or two before the end of the front nine.  Although the score did not show it, I struggled for the next 5 holes.

Now what?  I remembered an article I read a long time ago that related perfectly to my current situation.  Instead of pressing; the article say to throttle back a bit.  Hit the ball at 90% instead of 105%.  Guess what, it worked.  I regained my calm, struck the ball better and putted better.  I finished 7 over and felt better at the end.  I am a grateful golfer.

So my question is – what do you do regain your game when it seems to have gone south?
