Does this happen to anyone else?

I've had a couple rounds this year ended by downpour when I was on a run.

Makes me feel better about not playing well lately.

I did hole out for an eagle on #1 this week.

I did not back that up.

You need to start keeping your phone on do-not-disturb while you’re playing golf.

The eagle on 8 had to have you lit. Take it you holed out your approach?

If I know I have all day, I'll generally shoot something like a 34 on the front and a 43 on the back, or 43 on front and 34 on back. I'm generally a 9 hole player. It's hard to stay consistent mentally for 4-6 hours on 18 holes.

I'm dealing with this right now. I wont shoot a 34, but I can card a 40 only playing 9. I can also card a 40-44 front or back to counter that with a 50.

my 2026 goal is put a little more effort into the mental aspect of "pre-shot swing thoughts" prior to just stepping up and ripping. when I slow everything down, its looks like I know what I'm doing, then after 6-7 holes of that I get comfortable and get out of that thought process that was helping. seems so easy to apply, yet, its hard to do for me for 18 holes.

I'm far from a good golfer. Have been struggling as of late. Yesterday I had time to play 9. I hit every fairway. I had 3 really bad iron shots, but recovered quickly on two of them. Usually when it goes bad, it just gets worse. But yesterday, a bad shot was typically countered quickly. For instance, I rolled into the bunker on a par 3, the club hung up in wet sand and I ended up in another bunker on the other side of the green. But the next bunker shot ended up 18" from the hole for a bogey vs. a double or triple. If (a big if) I could have kept it up, I would have been in the low 80's when I've been struggling to break 90....But I couldn't get out to the course until 3:00
