Hey guys and gals!
As you may know i have become a constant moaner on these forums and i know it has become very annoying for all of you here and trust me i really don't like it one bit but i really struggle to manage my anger and it only takes a little thing to kick me off. I am going to try my best to stop these horrible rages and try to enjoy myself more often and to stop pissing everyone off which im sure im doing.
I am really sorry for everything and hope no one takes my moaning to heart as i think every one of you are great people and don't deserve the crap i dish out in the shoutbox all the time.
Again, i'm sorry. Please don't hate me too much.

From a person who has done his own whining here, let me tell you I fully understand the frustrations you are going through. It is sometimes difficult to swallow that you play your best and get trounced by someone by 10 strokes and you have no idea what you are doing wrong. The simple answer sometimes is that you aren't doing anything wrong, they're just better.
There is an old axiom that says when you try to become great at something it gets harder and harder to get better the further you progress. We all start trying to hit the ball in the fairway. Boom you do this 90-95% of the time. You learn to use loft/deloft to dial into the pins. You start making more birdies than bogeys. You start off by missing most of your cuts, then you make more than you miss, then you start creeping higher and higher into the final standings, ect, ect. As you get better, trying to reach that next plateau is more and more difficult. I look at your season so far you have 3 top 10s and 4 top 25s and are 36 WGR. There are people here that would kill for those stats.
My suggestion is something that I'm trying to learn, instead of focusing on the one, two or three putts that lip out or that should have gone in focus on the next shot, the next hole and bathe in the fact of all the other shots that went into that hole as planned. It really sounds that you are aiming for perfection and as i'm sure you are well aware of, there is no perfection in golf, not consistent perfection anyway. So stop trying for perfection and work on consistency. Forget that perfect round of -18 and go for 4 solid rounds of -12. Understand and accept you are going to get robbed and you will get lucky. Don't get upset when you get robbed, if anything get upset that you had to get lucky on a shot that you didn't necessarily deserve the outcome.
Above all it is a game. No real money is at stake here only the accolades of other folks on the Internet you probably never will meet and personal pride.
Just relax! Take time off if you need (I have) and finally practice, practice and more practice on what you do well. Develop that consistency.

Dude, pissed off is better than pissed on. Unless you're into that kind of thing. We all have those times we need to let off steam. Don't sweat it.

There are many things in the world to get angry and upset about other than a video game!

Remember the saying, don't sweat the small stuff! You will live longer and be happier. I am an older guy and it took me a long time to realize that!
