Approach to a round

Running Balance

Apologies if this has already been mentioned.
i m looking for some tips on how to approach a round and with it stays for the full 18.
My current approach is divide the course in three and anything above 10 points is good. But even with this approach i often find myself switching off.

is there any other approaches and What works best for you guys?

I go to three hole aggregate if I'm playing bad, good, every shot that's in front of me

I try not to over think any of this and just play each hole as it comes. Also would never add up my score until the end.

I think if I was setting targets for groups of holes and if I didn't hit the target it would negatively effect my game.

I've seen plenty of guys adding up a great front nine 20+ points to implode on the back nine because they started to think about their score too much.

Cheers, that's extactly what happened yesterday twenty on the front 9 and thirteen on the back.
So frustrated around the 14 hole..
felt like I played the last 5 holes while trying to do maths after every shot!!

Your objective is to play to your handicap or score 36 points ie 2 points per hole.

If your handicap is 18, is it 3 points for every par?

Also if your handicap is 22, is it 4 points for a par at the 4 hardest holes?

Yes,if your playing of 22 you have an extra shot on index 1 to 4 .
