Once I master something it just get boring. So what I do is make it more challenging. For example if your are right handed switch to left. You can also start playing blindfonded. That should put some spice to your game. Or how about with one hand tied to your back? That should make it interesting for your level of play. Or you can take a board of chess and play chess with your buddies between holes. That should ante up your mental game. Or how about skipping in the fairway while whistling dixie. That sure takes a lot of coordination. Well the important thing is to be creative! Good luck and have fun. Dear scratch player golfer,

Forget the golf course this weekend and go to your local cancer clinic and spend 4 hours there and than come back and whine about your lack of enjoyment for a game.

Enjoy the anticipation of playing your next round and when your tee time is up, let go of all anxiety and just play the round with a relaxed "hit the ball" approach - not a mechanical approach.

Try a fade instead of the draw just to see how it works out. Hit a bump and run into the green instead of trying to hit it long and spin it back to the cup. If all else fails in getting my attention I go play golf with people who can beat me half to death in the first nine holes. After 18 I know exactly what I need to do to improve. It is sometimes amusing, at least to me, that we say we are going to go play golf and then forget it is a game to be played. Of course you may have asked the wrong man. I enjoy practice as much and sometimes more than playing a round of golf. After all, we are all great golfers on the driving range and practice greens. Even me.
