Well... I'll tell ya what really screws with my average is these 17 - 20+ MPH winds. I just cannot get a handle on them whatsoever. Especially the cross winds, they really tear a new one in my score.
The other thing that usually gets me, but only for a hole or so.. and that is when I start one of those games and NOT notice the green speed is slow or standard. I am so used to playing the very fast greens, that I know just where to draw the meter back to, anyway you get the point.
But I keep trying and trying....
I will have to admit to dropping a game here and there, but NOT the RG's or when in match play. And as of late if I feel the need to just hack around for a while I have started using the practice rounds so the average dosen't get squashed.
