You know what? That’s exactly what I’m figuring out during this “dash” for the handicap reduction. I was 2 behind my handicap after 5 holes and was tempted to try to drive the short par 4 6th to try to get back on my handicap. I made a conscious decision at that moment to forget about my score and play each shot as well as I could and keep the ball in play.Even if I don’t get down to single figures by the end of the week, I would have learned something valuable about playing good golf. 😊
