We all have bouts like that. Before I got my 600, every time I was close a friend of mine would tell me how he had a dozen 590+ series before he got his first 6. How many people have a high of 799?
The way I moved past the "always the bridesmaid, never the cigar" stage was to repeat to myself that this will not be my high game, my high series, there will be another. I'd be on a four-bagger and throw a lousy fifth shot every time. Eventually, I learned that four-baggers aren't that hard to come by, I'll have another chance, so if I screw it up it's not the end of the world. I'll have another 250 or 270 game eventually.
Once I relaxed and accepted that if this is "it", my body will do what it has to do and there's only so much that my mind can or should do about it, then the scores and series came.
