I will definitely give some more thought on thinking about the process and the decision at hand! Like you said it is easier said than done sometimes and we are all guilty here and there. There are times when I feel like I need to ‘take my medicine’ chip back out onto the fairway and try my best to get on the green after a bad tee shot. I guess that is when I start thinking how can I make a par. But when you need to hit one close it can create bad decisions and then the bogey or worse comes into play pretty quick. -Make a good shot and focus on what is in front you you- That sounds like a good strategy.
It is not a habit of mine to think like this the whole round, but some days you are off a little and you have to take a lot of medicine haha. I break 80 on good rounds but I am trying to improve my game. I appreciate the insight from you guys!
