It was just a 'social' round. Three mates and I. 4 ball best-ball Stableford matchplay...
But you know how these things go. We were all out to win. Things got competitive.
My partner and I ended up 3 holes down after 7....
Just couldn't hit a green. Couldn't make a putt...(spent a fair bit of time in the trees too...)

One of those walks where you can see your destination the whole time ...

(Not unlike someone who is trying to eat healthy, get fit and improve their performance on the golf course ...)
Sometimes I don't feel like training at all ...
(Usually Mondays, haha)
Just cannot be bothered. Not feeling it ...not inspired ...
But, on those days, I try to do some "self-analysis".

When working with clients, I often use 'The Stress Bucket' analogy ...
