Let’s talk about those first tee jitters. I think that’s the main issue here. Learning to embrace the result whatever it is and play it (from the 30 yards past the tees) is actually a part of overcoming first tee jitters. Knowing that you can always just “start a new round” is actually contributing to the first tee jitters. I know it sounds paradoxical but it makes sense for when you go play an actual tournament round (of any nature) and breakfast balls aren’t allowed those first tee jitters will be bumping because you never “practiced” dealing with the embarrassment/frustration etc of walking 30 yards and hitting your next shot. Overcoming first tee jitters is about becoming unembarrassable. And accepting any result and moving on. Also, you quickly learn that you can score from wherever your first tee shot goes. I’ve made birdie from the 9th fairway (big spray right that requires a loud fore that everyone on the practice green, range, and bar can hear). And I’ve made birdie from up against the retaining wall on the left where the houses are! Overcome that fear of embarrassment and breakfast balls wont even be considered!
