Mental Mondays: Think Bogey Golf
eekenders—and especially those who struggle to reach the low 90s (that is, the vast majority of golfers)—should think about playing bogey golf. Playing each hole at one over par brings you to a 90 on a standard par 72. Get a par on just one of those and you’ll beak 90—something that only around twenty five percent of all golfers ever legitimately accomplish.
Playing for bogey takes a lot of pressure off your game. You can play safely off the tee, instead of going for raw distance. Or you can pound the ball, knowing that you have an extra shot to chip back on to the fairway before firing at the green. Missing the green on a second shot isn’t a disaster.

Great post. More golfers should thing bogey instead of par on each hole - like you say, the pressure goes away and you end up relaxing more.
