Good read. Unless I missed it, I wonder how many golfers across the US actually play competitive rounds. My point is golfers should not equate their GHIN or recent round to their self worth (or what is good). The game has too much good and back luck tied in along with uncontrollable variables.
We have a member who worked his butt off and got down to a 4. He recently went through a slump and posted consecutive below average rounds. Few weeks ago while walking off 18 green he melted down. It was epic. I asked his buddy later what happened and he lost it over the fear of his GHIN going up. His ego, value was tied to his GHIN. Sad. Only if he knew how it really works…
