As I am not one of the great players on here then I could never be in the running for a prize. Having said that I do try and better my best rounds at all the courses I play on.
I have noticed that if I am on a good round with a chance of bettering my best score then I do often get a meter jump when I need it least. I usually just curse for a few seconds and get on with it, as I think that if you let it get to you life seems a bit less happy and there are more urgent things in the world to get upset about.
So just curse for a few seconds is the answer, maybe next time the luck will be on your side. That is the way I keep sane playing this GDSOB game.
By the way the 'fuss" I was refering to was only concerning my own game and nobody elses.
