A good way to reduce self-induced pressure is to accept that you\u2019re a handicap golfer. You don\u2019t make a par on every hole. <\/p>\n
When you try to get a low score on holes that are too difficult for you, you force your game to produce more than it can deliver. You risk taking a high score by pressuring yourself to play better than you know you can. <\/p>\n
Professional golfers know on which holes they can attack and on which holes they need to ease off. Recreational golfers need to play golf the same way. <\/p>\n
Your handicap gives you an allowance for holes where playing for par, or even for bogey, depending on your handicap, is asking too much. <\/p>\n
