Just thinking about different ways. Any would be appreciated.

You're playing golf! Why would one need to find a way to have fun? If you're alone, join up with another person or two. If you're with friends, enjoy the company!

Even when I'm having a bad day golfing, it's still golfing. Beats most alternatives.

If I'm alone at an empty course I stop at a green and chip and putt for a while, as long as I can or need to. Then I hit a few old balls that I just found into the woods and try to be awesome and shape those shots like pros do lol. Then I keep playing.

The worse day golfing is still better then being at work...

The next swing will always be the best swing.

good thread Thechosenautopicker.....I'll be keeping my eyes on this one for some good ideas

I think sometimes I have more fun when i'm playing bad. If I have a good score going it adds a little pressure and i try harder and every shot is scrutinized.

If the wheels have come off early on then i just completely forget my score and try some funky shots i wouldnt normally do and as JB said earlier, just be happy i'm outside playing a game i love.

Heave your 5 iron into the nearest lake, ala Sergio Garcia!!! LOL! I stop keeping score and try different shots I otherwise wouldn't try!

Just remember that you're still better than me.

It is just one of the challenges of golf and challenges are probably why most of us play the game. I like to take a problem head on. One principle that helps me is to remember "it is stupid to keep doing the same thing and expecting the result to change." So if I am having a bad day with the driver, I hit something else, usually an iron, for a hole or two or grip down and inch or two. If irons are the problem, grip down a little and concentrate on rhythm. If you have a favorite shot, us it. For me it is a low hook. When all else fails go to what you are most comfortable with. I just went through this whole routine Monday, I shot 92, my worse round of the year but it actually could have been much worse if I hadn't done these things and found the rhythm and finished one over on the last 6 holes--nineteen over on the first twelve holes.

Another approach I've used when rounds go south is settle on doing 12oz curls the rest of the way. Stings less.

If I am playing with my friends and we are all struggling, we start to bet per hole. Kind of Bingo Bango Bongo, but we change the bet hole to hole. Keeps it interesting for everyone and keeps you in the round.
