Maintain  a quality level of play  by completely forgetting about your score.   Playing  the game one shot at a time, will allow you to be fully focused on the job at hand.   Staying in the present-tense always makes the future of your game brighter.

When the game is over and the last putt has dropped,  only then count your score  !
