I didn't play well in this round last year and I was determined not to get off track this time. @Gregor: It happens all the time. If a good player tells you that she doesn't get nervous or never loses the plot then I don't think she is being honest. It takes discipline. It's like you've got to hit your way out of the problem rather than thinking too much about it. @Lukey: Yep. That's it. We will ALWAYS make mistakes. No matter how good we are and how much we play. The trick is to learn how to handle these mistakes and not let then odd bad shot ruin our day. Thanks for posting guys, Cameron @Steady: Yep, probably.

Cheers Lukey Cam

It's even better to know that with a bit of discipline you can get things back on track. Personally I am finding that when things are going off I need to think whether I had comitted to my routine and playing automatically on a bad shot. I am finding that I tend to lapse back into my old traits - worrying about my score, trying to find the cause of the problem etc. This needs to be checked constantly during the round to keep me on track. By doing this I can stop some of the real disaster rounds from happening before it's tto late Gregor Cameron,
