This is why I am a bit hesitant to play an 18 hole course. I just started playing and am terrible. Shot 128 my first 18 hole round. I don't want to slow up other players but unfortunately, my ball striking isn't there so it takes a while.

Don't be so hesitant. You gotta learn to play at some point. As long as you let golfers play through it usually isn't an issue. I'm not really complaining about the slow play. It happens almost every round at one point I'm more frustrated at my weakness mentally with allowing it to affect my score negatively. And good info Hoosier. I really need to take some different approaches to the game mentally. I have with my putting and some of my shots. After reading Bob Rottellas book and it's helped tremendously. Just wanna keep improving and I never knew I could do that by being more mentally sound. I always thought if I just worked harder.at the range that would do it but when you get better and better it's really way more mental and course management than anything else.
