I missed the putt and made bogey, but what the hell? Sure, I brought quad into the equation, but I also got myself a shot at a par on a damned hard hole in a round that meant nothing.

I've always been so damn competitive, even with myself, that after playing competitive golf thru junior golf, high school golf, and college golf I just couldn't play that way. I had to take some time off as golf just ground me down to much and I was taking it so seriously.
I still do when we're playing matches, etc, but in fun rounds, it's more fun to just try shots.
