I've been known to have major meltdowns in tournaments. Once I started a tournament with 5 pars in a row until a lady questioned my handicap. A few blow up holes later, she told me I was off the hook. I recommend "Your 15th Club" by Bob Rotella or "Zen Golf" by Joseph Parent. Also make sure you are snacking on something throughout your round to help keep your energy and focus up.

Thanks for the book recommendations Kelly!!! I do struggle with my emotions (on and off the course!!!), so I will be looking into these for sure!

I do try to remember to take deep breaths when I feel the emotion surging! I also try to really look around and take a moment to appreciate my surroundings and company. Its a lot of talking to myself!!! This helps to get me out of my own head and to remember that I am having fun! It also helps me to focus on other peoples games, so that I can learn from them and/or encourage them instead of focusing on me (and my crappy shots).
