Great posts BerntR & Trigolt. I can relate to both. I tend to think of "worse case scenarios" and then set my expectations slightly higher...like last Sunday when I had a great 9 going I remember thinking "just put the drive somewhere in play & just give get away with bogeys on holes 8 & 9 and you will have a great round". On the first 7 holes I was more aggresive and wanting to get par or better.

I think that change in mentality does effect the outcome. Instead of hitting the driver normally I know I had a tentative kinda steering swing that got me into big trouble. I think the key for me is to always attack every hole the same, with a positive attitude/expectation, but be willing to accept less than that rather than expecting something mediocre and getting something even worse.

There is definitely a mental aspect to this game that has to be conquered just like the technical aspect.
