Golf Mastermind

Is there any other sport than golf where the performance can vary as much? Not just between days and rounds, but also between holes and shots. Once overcome the beginner's traumas, including finding a swing and learning the knitty gritty rules, psychology is equally important as the technique. May be that's what makes it interesting. Mastering the mind for four hours running.

With my usual pattern, it takes about one and a half hour before I'm in the flow. If it's a stubborn mind that takes time to win over, or the warm up of the swing, is still unknown and so it has been for the last decade(s!).

Today's result? Same as my sister who played beautifully throughout the round without any of the fat and ugly shots which were part of my first nine holes.
