There are days on the golf course when nothing seems to be going right. What to do about it? You've tried all your swing keys, setup techniques and mind-calming mantras. At a certain point you have to say "Uncle!" -- give in and acknowledge that this is one of those days that isn't going your way. Just giving up the struggle can be enough to free you up to make a couple of good swings, and maybe even salve your wounds by playing a couple of holes well.
Have some fun trying hero shots -- you'll have plenty of opportunities because you're already hitting into places that require heroic recoveries.
Finally, have a sense of humor about your predicament instead of beating yourself up.
