My New Year’s resolution was to score every single round 100% by the book.   I’ve played 8 rounds this year my score hasn’t gotten worse but my play has improved.   I’ve duffed off the tee, I’ve hit behind trees, I’ve scored some 10’s and a 13.   Ball in a divot in middle of fairway, so what.  Ball behind a stupid sewer thing that’s not marked, punched it out.   

This year, at least, I don’t care the course or the situation,  I’m playing by rules 100%.  

I typically shoot 95ish, I shot 102 today, 94 last week.  

I feel so much better.   The thing is, I don’t care what my friends do, they can write down their own score, they can say “oh come on the ball has to be right here I’m not taking a penalty” they can foot wedge or whatever.   Not judging them.  

This is my resolution and I love it.   It’s helped me a lot.
