So true KB. When I shot my PB it was as if I wasn't even trying. In fact I was only planning to play the front nine that day but after shooting even I just had to keep it going. But knowing what I was trying to do put that little bit of pressure on me and the back wasn't as good but I go 43. for me I was playing a lot of golf then so my game could handle that little bit of added pressure I was putting on myself and of course the stars just lined up that day for me as well.

Another analogy is that when I was fortunate to get an Ace I played the same course the following day. As a golfer when I came to that same Par 3 guess what my thought was? I actually thought maybe I can Ace it again. Of course my normal game was back and I hit the ball in the woods. Handling the added pressure I put on myself certainly showed. I guess that's the mental part of the game and being able to handle pressure.

This is the most humbling sport I have ever encountered and nowadays i just accept what I bring to the course and enjoy each PB or PV (Personal Victory) or whatever the best accomplishment of the round is and keep practicing and plugging away having fun. I always find a PV in each round I play. It might be my short game was on that day or perhaps I hit my targets in the FW or putting was good. Most rounds I have something going right and reflect on that. The will stars line up again. Maybe that day will be today.

TapAhoy!
