Great round! Just appreciate the good ball striking, and be grateful your handicap won't be falling too low!

I had something very similar happen to me last May, and posted it up in the "What did you shoot today" thread. After I birdied the 15th hole, my playing partner got all excited and mentioned I was 2 under par. I haven't broken par in many, many years, so this was a big deal. I promptly dumped my next tee shot in the water and took a double. I rebounded, and got a miracle birdie on the 18th to still break par, but its really surprising how thinking about your score can add unwanted pressure.
