Today I reached the painful conclusion that my game sucks more than what I say to myself. Two days ago, I played this short executive 9 hole course in Lisbon and at the end of the round I had 35 strokes in my card. Since this is a par 29, for me this was a great score. The problem is that this is not my real score, this was a highly discounted score. Today I played the same course and decided to count every single stroke and every single lost ball - at the end, I had 49 strokes on my card. For any player level this a terrible score. After this score I went back home I looked again into the score card of two days ago and decided to add the discounted strokes - 51, this was my actual score.
I realized today that I have been fooling my self with my benevolent counting. My decision was to start counting every single stroke because that is the only way I will ever be able to improve my game.
(when I shot 49, I didn't play that terrible - in two holes I shot 19 (par 7) and on the other 7 holes I shot 30 (par 22))
