I can't swear on the bible about this, but I think a lot of golfers do what I do. They don't warm up properly when they get to the course. I am bad for this. I get out of the car, hurry to the first tee, and get that first (usually poor) drive down towards the hole some where. "Oh well, off to bad start again." Second hole is usually not that much better, with the third hole maybe showing some improvement. By the 5th, or 6th hole, as long as I have not let the previous holes ruin the round for me, I am warmed up, and my swing, and putting start falling into place. By the time I get to the back nine, I am on cruise control.

I could have written that post, except for the fact that I haven't found my cruise-control buttons yet!

I start OK and stay OK, or I have a bad start and finish OK. I have learned to not let up after a poor start. In my past 20 rounds I have only ruined one finish, when circumstances rushed me into joining another group for the last four holes, which threw me off.

I bet I have you all beat for my improvement "heroics". Earlier this year I went out on a beautiful early April Sunday, on the spur of the moment, for a season-opener. I may not even have been to the range prior to that round, and I shot my worst nine ever. I was in a fun-loving group, and managed to sprinkle in some good shots between the embarassing blowups, so I wasn't exactly hurting! I managed to "improve" my score by 25 strokes for my second nine. Perhaps some of you might call a round like that a 'practice round', but I like to count them all.....
