John Tell us a bit about yourself. Can you focus on a task for hours on end? Or do you loose concentration after a few minutes? Or something in between... Knowing your personality helps with getting over the hump on the blow up hole elimination. ht Mag

John: If you tend to repeat your triples and doubles each time you play, it could be course management that is causing the problem. For example, at my club there is a long par 5, with OB left, water right, a narrow fairway, and a creek that crosses that fairway. It is the home of many double digit scores. Each year the sectional US Open qualifier is held at my club, and there are always several scores above 9. My mental approach, and strategy on the tee is to play the hole as the "World's Easiest Par 6.". A 3 wood tee shot, a medium iron lay up short of the creek, another medium iron, in the fairway, and a short iron to the green. I'm left with 1 putt for par, 2 for bogie. Par wins the hole 80 of 100 times. Bogie only loses 20 of 100 times. Analyze you score card, and try to outsmart the trouble holes. Good luck. I'm off to play this morning. Go away rain!!! Bob Miller
