I really have started learning just how much mental the game is. I never bought into it till recently. But now I really do. I wasn't really trying to play speed golf. I just play quick. I def wasn't hitting into anyone I actually waited on 18 till the group was off the green when I was still on the tee box. Hope you don't think I was that guy up someones butt all day. I don't do that. I really think I need to get more mentally tough out there. Today was just another round that proved it.

That was the only point I was trying to make. If you tell yourself you can not play well in slower rounds, you won't. You dictate how well you will play, not the group in front or behind you.

I go with the flow on the course. I'm there to play golf and enjoy the course, being outside etc, no matter the pace. I play with a large skins group on weekends and I discovered long ago, that the guys in this group that are pissed all the time on the course, are pissed all the time in life. If your one of those people that drives 20 mph over the speed limit everytime your in a car, you more than likely will have issues on the course. Our world went and got in a big hurry a few years ago. Just go with whatever pace you are dealt on a given day. Lifes short.
