Robert Palmer says:That is the attitude I like to hear from you. It reminds me of your teaching approach. Go get 'em!!

Robert Palmer says:I believe you are on to something! I don't believe that we knowingly call the actors to appear, but rather our mental approach that day calls them. When we are "right," the evil numbers are banished to the hinterland, at least until a chink in the armor reveals itself, at which time that surge forward like a stampede ruining that good mental approach. The only thing good about the "evils" in this game is when they are held at bay and slapped silly by the strong mental approach. I believe that everyone is capable of putting a good round together, but a strong mental approach and a realistic game plan is required. No hero shots, no unnecessary gambling and a sensible shot selection is all that is needed. Hitting shots that you WANT to hit instead of hitting shots that you KNOW you can hit ruins more rounds than you can imagine. This fetish for distance is the ruination of golf. Accuracy is 100 times more important that distance, yet distance is all that is talked about.

Robert Palmer says:Started at 59°, a brisk 11 mph breeze and cloudy skies. Had an absolute dream start, but #8 got me (it is a green where you are not able to control your ball), as it usually does. The inward nine began okay but soon turned into a nightmare! The triple on #13 was a complete mental error! After decent drive I was face with a shot of 123 yds, but I assumed it was into the wind. I hit my shot accordingly but immediately realized my error and found my ball approx 30 yds behind the green. One error is never enough though and the next shot was short of the green and just in front of some pampas grass. Needless to say, I was lucky to have only received a triple! After that it was just a limp home, as all the wind was out of my sails. Despite all the drama, I still managed to post a decent score as well as stoke the fire for a rematch. Gosh, this is a great game. I came away with a lot of positives, so I'm a happy camper tonight--with a few bruises. The rematch will happen tomorrow.
