Connor Stirling Peterson argues that golf scores don't define you. A bad round comes from swing changes, bad luck, or technique work in progress. View each round as a chance to fix specific problems and accept that good and bad rounds are both part of the game.
You can't let what you're shooting or what you shoot dictate how you feel about yourself as a golfer. Reality is there's all sorts of reasons why you might shoot a bad score. You might be working something out, you might have just gotten bad breaks, you might be working through something with your swing. It doesn't really matter. And the reality is you're going to play more golf. You're going to play good golf, you're going to play bad golf. So it's a lot more important to take that opportunity to say, all right, cool, I'm working through this particular thing right now. As long as I figure that out, I'm gonna be just fine.
