Stroke play stress.

Stroke play is such a different beast to stableford or any other type
of comp. It can get quite stressful when every single shot counts.

Normally it doesn't bother me too much but I was especially nervous
today. I had just gone down a shot in my handicap to 13 and was
feeling like I had to play one shot better than last week to contend
again.

It went fairly well for the first 5 holes but then I shot a triple
bogey. And that just did my head in for the front nine. Another triple
on the back and my energy was gone. I felt tired and couldn't wait to
finish the round.

Oh well, my handicap should go up by one so that gives me an extra
buffer for next week. :)
