The value of patience. I started today's round like I had never played before. 6 overpar after 5 holes. All my shots and more gone. A previous incarnation of myself would have given up, got progressively worse, and finished the round like an ogre. Not any more.
Buckled down, took one shot at a time, and played the next 13 holes in 2 under par.
I can now look forward to next Sundays 36 hole tournament with confidence high.

Re: Golf Score
Well done Andy, that is inspiring! Coming back after a bad start sounds a great test of willpower, no doubt your clean and jerk tests helped you out there. Keep reporting - best of luck next Sunday. What kind of times do you actually play? I've noticed that they seem to be done by the time noon comes around, is that correct?
I usually play at 7am
The deal I made with my wife was that I get to play golf as long as I am home before 12. I then get to look after my 3 kids and my wife gets a break. Compromise is the basis of a successful marriage!
I always thought...
It was keeping your mouth shut when out:
Shoe shopping
Furniture shopping
Any form of shopping
Ah hell, just keep your mouth shut at all times
Well done on the golf mate!
