It has happened to all of us at one time or another. You are playing well, and all of a sudden the wheels come off for a hole or two. You post a few big numbers, lose your focus and the rest of your round is pretty much done, and in the tank. If this has not happened to you yet, it will.

So, my solution involves my score card. I make my own on my computer, and print them out on some heavy paper. One of the things I do is to shade in every other group of 3 holes, which leaves 3 holes unshaded in between. What I am doing is playing 18 holes of golf in groups of 3. I have given myself 6 starting, and 6 ending points If I have a stretch of bad holes, I can always regroup and start over on the next group of 3 holes. It's a mental thing, and it works for me.

This is not my own idea. I have read about it on other forums, and have even heard some of the touring pros doing something similar. Some even play 18 holes is 3 groups of 6.

How do you handle a a bad hole or two?
