It is the expectations that get in the way. Get rid of them, and you can really score.

I learned this the hard way (and relearn it sometimes). Many years ago in my senior year of high school, I was playing in the championship tourney. I had been so 'expecting' to win that year, that I blew the first round big time (I think I shot 85ish). I came into the second round well back of the leader, shot something like a 40 on the front and was still, from my view, totally out of it. On the 10th, I somehow managed to 'let go' of my expectations. I eagled 11 and went on to shoot 35 on the back, just missing a 12 footer for the tie on 18. Of course it helped that the leader, playing with me, started to choke as I turned up the heat with the eagle and some solid play.

The real challenge is in your mind.
