Joined the Thursday night league at my muni this spring, first real match play thing I've ever done. Got paired against a guy who's been in the league 12 years and he closed me out on 12. 7&6. I shot like a 94 with my strokes and he's a 6 playing off 4.
I knew match play was different but I didn't expect to feel this lost. Like I'd win a hole and he'd just birdie the next one. Every time I got any momentum he'd stick one to 6 feet and roll it in. Meanwhile I'm out here three-putting from 25 feet.
Is this just how the first season goes? Do you actually get better at the mental side or do you just get used to getting beat? Also I think I messed up giving shots on 4 and it might've cost me the hole, need to actually learn that part.
Still had fun though. Kinda.
