Back to my Wednesday night Under 55 average tournament. I've had a little throw this week, but no intense practise or anything like that. I'm at a stage where I just need to play through any insecurities or mental issues I'm currently having with the game. I just seem to be putting to much pressure on myself on a Wednesday and it is causing very silly mistakes. I need to go in relaxed, but have focus on what I need to hit. It doesn't have to be treble 20 every time. 60 per throw would be enough to get me to the semi-finals. ,or even better. Then once I'm comfortable with this, I can worry about the bigger scores and bigger finishes. As mentioned in a previous post, Australian player Raymond Smith, spoke of the discipline of just going at the 20s and hardly switching. It makes sense to me and I am guilty of trying to make clever shots, which I don't really need to do.
Last Wednesday I was too relaxed and didn't really care how I played. The arm felt good, but the results didn't reflect anything. Perhaps with a relaxed attitude but with a focus of caring, this may help. And being disciplined and not switching all over the board.
