... and boy to I need it the way I've been playing.
When I was typing up fitness reports and even when I was documenting computer programs, I'd often try to go so fast that I'd make tons of errors and have to go back to fix them. Counterproductive. What I would do is go back to make sure my fingers were on the "home row" ASDF - GH - JKL; I'd be careful to keep them there and slow down a bit. Gradually I could speed back up without so many errors.
I've found in the past that when I'm playing Links poorly, as I have been, the secret to coming back is to keep the ball in the fairway at all cost even if it leaves a lengthy approach shot. There's a good bit more forgiveness in a 3-metal than Driver. That's usually the route I take. This is especially true when there's DEEP GRASS (HEAVY ROUGH).
Just wanted to share.
